Fiber-based supplements might not be the best choice

While fiber is an ever-important nutrient for maintaining sound digestive health and overall wellness, depending on it for weight management support might not be the best idea. Some people believe that fiber can boost energy levels and even suppress appetite, considering in theory it could expand in the stomach and reduce your hunger. However, it may not be the number one appetite suppressant around.

A product found at Lipozene.com is marketed as an advanced weight loss formula for anyone looking to suppress their appetite and improve their weight loss goals. The only ingredient, according to online sources, is Glucomannan, which comes from the Konjac Root. It is a great source of fiber, but I am not aware of any studies that suggest the product can suppress the appetite over a long term.
