antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. Coffee drinking may support weight loss by
increasing energy levels and the amount of calories you burn. Caffeinated coffee may boost
your metabolism by 3–11% and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by a whopping
23–50%. Furthermore, black coffee is very weight loss friendly, since it can make you feel full

Glucomannan is one of several weight loss pills that has been proven to work. This water-
soluble, natural dietary fiber comes from the roots of the konjac plant, also known as the
elephant yam. Glucomannan is low in calories, takes up space in the stomach and delays
stomach emptying. It also reduces the absorption of protein and fat, and feeds the beneficial
gut bacteria. Its exceptional ability to absorb water is believed to be what makes it so
effective for weight loss. One capsule is able to turn an entire glass of water into gel.
