Description

A natural, homemade alternative to expensive GLP-1 medications that helps manage appetite, supports healthy blood sugar levels, and promotes satiety. Made with simple, affordable ingredients available at any grocery store. Perfect for bariatric patients and anyone seeking cost-effective weight management support.

Ingredients

Scale

1 teaspoon glucomannan powder (pure konjac root fiber)

1/2 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon (NOT cassia cinnamon)

1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar (with ‘the mother’)

Juice from 1/2 fresh lemon

8–10 ounces cold water

Optional Additions:

1/4 teaspoon fresh grated ginger

1/4 teaspoon raw honey (for taste)

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Gather tools: shaker bottle, measuring spoons, citrus juicer. Have an extra glass of water ready.

2. Pour 8-10 ounces of cold water into your shaker bottle FIRST. Never add dry powder to container first.

3. Slowly sprinkle glucomannan powder into the water while shaking vigorously to prevent clumping.

4. Add Ceylon cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, and fresh lemon juice. Add optional ingredients if using.

5. Shake for another 20-30 seconds until fully mixed. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to allow glucomannan to hydrate.

6. Drink steadily over 2-3 minutes—do not gulp. Sip slowly to allow mixture to coat stomach lining.

7. Immediately drink 8 ounces of plain water as a chaser after finishing the mixture.

8. Wait 20-30 minutes before eating your planned meal to allow satiety signals to activate.

Notes

CRITICAL SAFETY: Always add glucomannan to liquid, never liquid to powder. Take with ample water to prevent esophageal obstruction.

Use only Ceylon cinnamon (true cinnamon), not cassia, for daily consumption safety.

Start with 1/2 teaspoon glucomannan if new to fiber supplements and increase gradually over one week.

Separate from medications by 1-2 hours before or 2-3 hours after consumption.

Drink at least 64 ounces of water daily when using this recipe regularly.

Do not consume within 3-4 hours of bedtime to avoid reflux.

Consult your doctor before use if you have digestive conditions, take medications, or are recently post-bariatric surgery.

Store glucomannan powder in airtight container away from moisture. Store apple cider vinegar at room temperature.
