Product Information

In conjunction with a supervised diet it can help you achieve the health and aesthetic benefits associated with weight loss.

Whatever you choose to supplement your water and fluid intake do also remember another general rule for band, bypass and sleeve patients … avoid drinking fluids for 30 minutes after a meal so that you don’t over-distend your pouch or flush food too quickly through your new stomach pouch. I'm a fan of glucomannan as it really does help with feelings of fullness and satiety," he explains. This suggests that change in alcohol metabolism resulting from the surgery likely explains the findings. Sipping water also keeps your body hydrated for longer and doesn’t cause your kidneys to become overloaded. I didn't think anything of it until around 6pm and I was like, "Oh my God, I haven't been hungry for hours!

However, your stomach may be smaller following a gastric band, but your body’s dependence on the water remains the same. Lateysha Grace of The Valleys (pictured below), model Demi Rose and Chloe Sim of The Only Way is Essex have also credited the supplement with weight loss on social media.

The fitness industry is a disgrace at the minute, obesity is through the roof partly because of rubbish like this. It has been labelled as a “safe” supplement to aid weight loss, and a British Journal of Nutrition study found participants lost up to 10lbs in 16 weeks compared with 1. There has been some work done that shows that every time we diet that stuff gets splurged back into our bloodstream, like dioxins. Skinny Sprinkles contains 1g of glucomannan per serving which, in the context of an energy-restricted diet, contributes to weight loss.Your surgeon can tighten or loosen your gastric band by injecting liquid into it through a port which sits just under the skin of your tummy. Glucomannan, which comes from the root of the Japanese konjac plant, is also used in Zero or Shirataki noodles, which got dieters excited when they were imported over to the UK a few years ago. There are a few reported side effects for glucomannan, including stomach pains, bloating, diarrhoea and flatulence but mainly for high doses of the ingredient. It also reduces the absorption of carbs and cholesterol into the body, and doesn't leave you feeling gassy or bloated. Due to the reduced portion sizes and overall food intake, you will not get adequate vitamins and minerals from the diet.

Each sachet of Skinny Sprinkles contains 1 gram of glucomannan and – taken three times a day as recommended would give you 3 grams. This can help prevent larger pieces of food from getting stuck in the opening between your smaller stomach pouch and your small intestine.Its high sugar content may prove problematic to gastric bypass patients and prove too calorific for others. About two to four grams a day was found to be well tolerated, with dosages of five grams or more being more likely to have side effects. Avoid these at the beginning of the regular stage (stage 4) and then re-introduce them gradually once a ‘regular’ diet has been established.
