Newly diagnosed 21/08/2018. Been back cycling since 11 July 2018. I'm sick of weighing myself only to see I've not lost any weight at all (not gained any either!). Since being diagnosed I have made changes to diet and exercise. Taking on board what it means if I don't! However, confused as...

Hi, I've just recently heard about glucamannan, a water-soluble dietary fibre that is derived from the roots of yams. It has very few calories and virtually no salt or sugar. It is being promoted as an aid to losing weight; the idea is you mix up a sachet of it in a large glass of water and...
