It doesn't have the horrid fishy taste or odour that some konjac noodles (in fact, it has almost no taste) Its not very nice plain but i mix it with an energy drink or lemonade to make a jelly... You need to mix it very quickly to avoid large lumps but the carbonation of a soda definitely helps to prevent lumps from forming ^w^I use 1 level teaspoon in around 100mls of soda at the start of the day and I would estimate 100g would last me 2 weeks of daily use"},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"G***M"},"datePublished":"17 September 2015","name":"seriously, it works!","reviewBody":"I hardly ever write reviews, but I've lost 9 pounds in the last four weeks and this really helps. And that's with a two-week holiday in the middle of that period, when I ate everything in sight and drank loads (well, we were in the wine region of South Africa, you would, wouldn't you). I gained two pounds on holiday, much less than I normally would gain for two weeks of sheer piggery. And it was all gone again within three days. So overall it's been 9 pounds and I'm confident it will keep going. I only have another five pounds or so to go to reach my target weight so I'm probably not losing that fast anymore.So, about the konjac. It took me a little while to figure out how to take it without gagging, it is disgusting if you don't disguise the flavour. But I've worked this out now. I have bottles of sugar free bitter lemon (less than £1 for a huge bottle) and mix it with that. I put a heaped teaspoon of the konjac into a smallish glass, pour the bitter lemon over the top, stir until all the lumps are gone, hold my breath and drink it straight down. I then fill the glass with water again to get any remaining bits and drink that too. This way, I don't even notice the taste, truthfully!!The internet says that taking it 15-60 minutes before a meal is best, and that's what I try to do, but sometimes I've left a much bigger time gap than that - and other times I've taken it and then gone straight into the food. So from my experience that doesn't make a lot of difference.What I do notice is that I eat less. Some people on here have said it fills them up completely, and I don't find that, but it takes the edge off my hunger and I don't feel the need to eat anything like as much as normal. I then also seem to be able to go longer without needing a snack in the middle of the afternoon. Once or twice when I really did feel hungry, I just had another glass of the stuff and as long as you have the willpower to wait half an hour or so until it kicks in, it does really help to control that craving. But it is really is all about willpower - it won't make you feel like you had a proper meal. You have to have some self control too. At certain times of the month, I don't!! but the overall trend is good, it's easy to take now, and I'm certain it's making a real difference. I've also increased my levels of exercise.A note for those of you who might want to try travelling with this - I also bought the konjac capsules from Amazon and those are what I took with me on holiday. It's a lot easier to deal with than a powder and a spoon while you're travelling. But those are more expensive, so I went back to the powder when I got home and am keeping the capsules for when I'm out and about.good luck!"},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"P***R"},"datePublished":"8 December 2014","name":"But by doing a small amount of research over the internet its very easy to establish how it should be used","reviewBody":"some people seem to be displaying a real lack of common sense when using this product, admittedly there are no clear instruction on the pack. But by doing a small amount of research over the internet its very easy to establish how it should be used, in fact the lack of clear instruction is the only reason I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5. That and the fact I had to buy two packs in order to avoid the delivery charge, when really all i wanted to do was test it. In future i will buy the bigger packsThere are many different ways you can take this product, in my case I simply used about a shots worth of juice in the bottom of a cup. I then sprinkled in a level amount (Not heaped) from a dry tea spoon, (you get a little plastic spoon in the pack but i found this to be a waste of time). I then stirred thoroughly.by sprinkling in gently and then stirring thoroughly this should avoid clumping and if you do spot any small lumps just crush them against the side of the cup with the back of your spoon.... simples! Then as quickly as possible... down it! you need to get the mixture into your system before it starts to expand, at this point its practically tasteless and does not give off much of any smell.If you leave it in the cup for a while it will start to expand and become jellfied, at this point it will start to give off a slightly fishy smell. Just make sure you have swallowed before the expanding begins and you wont have any problems, also it is advised that you drink at least another cups worth of liquid (water,juice ,tea) after taking the mixture, just to be on the safe side.I have read reports of the pill version of this product expanding inside peoples intestines and them needing to go to hospital to have it removed, so please use caution. Here is a link explaining more: http://www.emaxhealth.com/8782/glucomannan-weight-loss-side-effect-warnings-you-need-knowBut don't let that put you off, as long as you use some common sense you will be fine. I found i managed to drastically reduce my daily intake of food, no more grumbling belly. unfortunately it does nothing for cravings, your mind will still be telling you you want sweets or caffeine but at least your belly wont be rumbling.also there are lots of health benefits, here is a link: http://www.konjacfoods.com/noodles/24.htmAfter a while of using this product you start to get used to the lower intake of food, on some days i found i didn't need it at all. I made one 100g bag last me between 4-6 weeks and for the price of £6.50 you'll have no complaints from me.dieting is hard, but I found this really does help.... Good luck."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"F***K"},"datePublished":"10 April 2025","name":"Worked for me","reviewBody":"For me it has worked really well. I wanted something to reduce my appetitie so that I didnt snack at night and it does just that. I take it about 30 minutes after my evening meal and I dont feel hungry again. Has helped me to form a new habit so that even when I forget to take it I still dont snack.Not the easest thing to take though. I find the best way is to mix with a small amount of water and drink in one go like a shot and then drink a glass of water."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"O***K"},"datePublished":"13 May 2025","name":"Ok","reviewBody":"Ok"}],"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.8,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":5}},{"@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Is it just me that can't mix this stuff :-( It turns in to lumps as soon as I put liquid near it, impossible to mix. Directions were so vague","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Using the amount of glucomannan recommended, in the bottom of a tumbler, I pour water from a jug from two or three inches above the rim (i.e. get a good gush of water), and then drink immediately. When near the bottom of the glass, I stir with a spoon, dislodge any lurking small clots and clods, drink the rest, add an inch or two more water and swig that down. The glass is cleaned out with a washing-up brush immediately, under a running cold tap, and popped in the dishwasher. That way, there is no sticky residue, which is hard to clean off. My wife and I have been using the product for about 10 months now, find it easy to use and highly effective. A recent batch has been slightly less soluble than previous ones, but no real problem. Hope that helps."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"It says to use 2 scoops?? (approx 1.5g) - scoops of what as 1.5g is a tiny amount?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Hi Jenna. There should be a little scoop inside the packet. If not, then try using a flat teaspoonful. To be honest, I don't think it matters a lot to be quite so accurate. If you use too much you know because the liquid goes extremely gloopy very quickly. Don't overdo it, especially at first. It's a good idea to get to know how much your digestive system is happy with. The recommended amount doesn't have any negative effects on me, but everyone's different. A tiny amount goes a long way. I usually use two scoops or a teaspoonful in a small cup of water, stir it vigorously for a few seconds then knock it back as quickly as possible followed by another cup or two of water or something else. It's not the most pleasant thing in the world but I've been experimenting with things like fruit drinks and milk to make it taste better. Sometimes I use it in a smoothie. Skinny Sprinkles is made of the same stuff but with sweeteners and flavours added. Its slightly easier to take but has calories (can't remember how many) and is very expensive if used over a long period of time. I hope that helps. Good luck. And if you don't find a scoop inside (they are quite small and easily missed at first), let me know and I'll post you one of mine, or you could contact the manufacturer and ask them to send you one. :-)"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"is there a scoop in the package","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes there is a scoop in every package"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is this easier to take than capsules?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"I’ve never taken the capsules all I do is mix 2 levels with 1/2 pint coconut milk and a big scoop of strawberry protein powder put the lot in a blender and put it in the fridge for a hour and bingo it tastes really delicious"}}]}]}
