Konnyaku is a Japanese traditional food.

Konnyaku is a traditional Japanese jelly-like health food made from a kind of potato called “Konnyaku potato” and calcium hydroxide or oxide calcium extracted from eggshells. The Konnyaku potato is native to Indonesia and is a kind of herbaceous perennial plant called “Amorphophallus Konjac”(K. Koch). Konnyaku potatoes are cultivated for food only in Japan, but wild forms grow naturally in Southeast Asia and China.

Japanese have been eating it over 1500 years. It was originally introduced to Japan as a medicine in the sixth century and has been eaten for almost 1500 years in Japan. It is a totally natural food. Ninety seven percent of Konnyaku is water and three percent is Glucomannan, or dietary fiber. It is also rich in minerals and very low in calories.

Full of dietary fiber: Glucomannan is a dietary fiber and it is extremely difficult for humans to digest. Therefore, Konnyaku usually just goes through your body and sweeps your intestines. That is why it has been regarded as a no calorie food for a long time in Japan. Konnyaku does have calories, however, the calories would be so few in the normal quantities that they are negligible in number.

Konnyaku is the key ingredient in Cheat from Core4 and Core4 is at the heart of the incredible new weight loss system being promoted by Cal NutraSciences (CNI).

Konnyaku is a marvelous health food: It does not have fat, it is rich in dietary fiber and is low in calories. Moreover, it has recently been found that it normalizes the level of cholesterol, prevents high blood pressure and normalizes the level of sugar in the blood. Because of these scientific findings, it has been perceived as an excellent health food in Japan.

Ideal food for weight control and prevention of obesity: Konnyaku is not only an ideal food for weight reduction, because it is low in calories and has no fat but also it is wonderful in helping maintain our health. If you take Konnyaku with other foods, you can easily feel satisfied, but still you have eaten few calories. It is quite difficult to fight hunger, so you can gain physical and mental health at the same time.

Stimulation for excretion: Prevention against bowel cancer and hemorrhoids: In 1977, American Senate nourishment special committee published a report that says the shortage of fiber in eating habits is one of the causes of diseases such as fatness, constipation, arteriosclerosis, heart sickness, diabetes, cancer, gallstone, and hemorrhoids. Dietary fiber activates the function of the intestines and allows the harmful things to go quickly out of your body. As a result, it defends you from intestinal cancer.

Konnyaku is practically water and dietary fiber. Therefore, Konnyaku is useful preventing such adult diseases. It is not only a low calories health food but also defends you from bowel cancer and hemorrhoids. When dietary fiber is taken, it easily adsorbs water and it can expand ten to twenty times in the body. Then, it stimulates the intestines and helps to discharge. In other words, dietary fiber helps to excrete harmful matters from the body.

Normalizes the level of sugar in the blood and prevents diabetes: According to the studies of Ebihara (1981), if Konnyaku is taken with other foods, it reduces the speed of sugar intake and it normalizes the level of sugar in the blood. Hence, Konnyaku could prevent diabetes.

Normalization of the cholesterol level: According to the studies, Konnyaku lowers and normalizes the cholesterol level and neutralizes fat in blood but it never lowers it too much.

Prevention of high blood pressure: According to the studies, Konnyaku lowers high blood pressure.

Moreover, calcium in Konnyaku would be readily soluble in gastric juices. As you can see in the table* below, the assimilation rate of calcium in Konnyaku is almost equal to that of milk.

Konnyaku is an Alkaline Food: Many of our modern foods are acid foods. Konnyaku, on the other hand, is a uniquely alkaline food. It is said that modern people had better eat more alkaline food in order to keep healthy. Therefore, Konnyaku is an ideal health food for us.

Clinically tested and patent pending, Core4 has burst upon the scene after almost 2 years of development. Michael Clutton strongly recommends devoting just a few minutes to exploring the value of this amazing new discovery.

Do you have ten or more pounds that you cannot seem to lose no matter how much you diet or exercise? Are you tired of people questioning you about your caloric intake when you know for a fact that you have stayed within or below the recommended weight loss guidelines? Do you spend hours at the gym only to find yourself exhausted and the scale stuck at the same weight day after day?  Many of us with genetic predisposition for weight gain or a high stress lifestyle have experienced the very same frustrations. The good news is that now there is hope.

Family History

My genetic propensity is toward obesity, plain and simple. My five siblings all have the same challenges I do and my sister finally resorted to surgery in order to control her weight. Those who admonish that genetics have nothing to do with body fat or being over weight, obviously comes from a family like my husband’s-he maintains an exceptionally low body fat and can eat literally anything he wants. That is not the case for me. I have always struggled with my weight and remember, even at a very young age, wondering why I was active yet “pudgy” when my much more sedentary friends were not, or why other teenagers could eat so much more than I did.  I later wrote my college thesis around the causes of weight gain and weight control and have studied nutrition extensively.  As an adult, I diligently watch my  calories, exercise regularly, eat healthy foods and make an effort to get enough sleep yet my weight had continued to creep up. I’ve had nutritionists, trainers, and healthcare providers shrug their shoulders and simply say, “You must be missing something somewhere.”

The something I was missing evidently was the weight loss combination in the patent-pending Core4 Program by Cal Nutrasciences.

New Company, Proven Track Record

The Core4 Program was introduced to me by a friend as a brand new, patent pending “revolutionary” weight loss system produced by Cal Nutra Sciences (CNI), a company based near my home in San Diego. CNI partnered with American Weight Loss Laboratory, so while the company and opportunities it provides are new, the leadership and infrastructure are well proven and flush. Those of you who follow my work or have read my articles with relation to health and wellness know that I am very skeptical of weight loss programs,  anti-Big Pharma and have enough of a science background to ferret out the difference between synthetic and organic products even when those products are labeled as “all natural.” The specifics of this particular company, program and products, however, have been nothing short of phenomenal.

Program Basics

With over fourteen months in the making, CNI has created a proprietary “nutrient fusion” process with their Core4 products. This process produces exceptional results due to the synergistic effects of the components. The Core4 Program consists of Cheat, a sprinkle that is used like salt on meals to reduce calories by 25%; Lean, an amino-acid meal replacement mix; Flush, a daily detoxifying cleanse;  and Accelerate, which stimulates the thermogenic fat burning and weight loss process. Weight losses of between 8 and 16 pounds have been documented by people during their  first two weeks on the program and I am happy to report I am also well on my way to my goal weight-please refer to my article entitled “Core4: Does it REALLY Work for Stubborn Weight?” for details.  If you’ve struggled with your weight like I have, I urge you to visit www.core-4-advantage.com for extensive information on the Core4 Program.
