How does konjac / glucomannan help with weight loss, as well as contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels?
According to Commission Regulation No. 432/2012 of the European Union, glucomannan aids weight loss and normalises blood cholesterol levels if taken in the amount of 4g a day, in three 1g (minimum) portions each. It's important to consume it with plenty of water to ensure the substance reaches the stomach.

What makes Shileo different from other industrially processed foods?
Many food companies try to sell their products as "light", "non-fat" and "no added sugar". "Light" simply indicates that it's less heavy than the regular recipe (yet still unhealthy), "no fat" usually means that sugar is added to increase the flavoring, and "no added sugar" could mean that other artificial ingredients are added in order to compensate. We believe food should be light as a rule, and not only reduced in unhealthy ingredients. You shouldn't feel sleepy or hungry after a meal, especially when you're trying to lose weight.
What are your serving sizes?
Our meals weigh roughly 100g in their packaging, but increase in weight to about 400g once cooked with water. Our shake powders are sold in packages of 150g, out of which you should be able to prepare about 10 shakes, each one of 215cL. Please check each individual product page to see the exact values.
How much protein is in Shileo dishes?
Our meals contain between 0.07 and 4.856g of protein per 100g. Please check each individual product page to see the exact value.
How much lipid (fat) is in Shileo dishes?
Our meals contain between 0 and 4.002 grams of lipids and between 0 and 3.017 grams of trans fats ("bad fat"). Please check each individual product page to see the exact value.
Does Shileo increase intestinal transit and digestion?
Our meals contain between 2.0075 and 55.44g of fiber. Depending on your diet, especially if you have a general diet which is low in fiber, your body may need to get used to the increase in fibre intake, but this should soon pass. Please check each individual product page to see the exact value.
Is Shileo gluten free?
We're 100% gluten free
Can I lose weight on Shileo?
In addition regular activity and an appropriate diet - absolutely! Shileo contains glucomanan, a fiber naturally present in konjac roots. Glucomanan can help you with weight loss as well as maintaining normal blood cholesterol levels (link)
Why is it named Shileo?
It is a portmanteau of the first letters of the word "shirataki", the traditional Japanese noodles made of konjac, and the word "leo", which is not only an animal which stands for power and strength, but is also the Anja's (one of our two founders) zodiac sign.
What is the taste of the Shileo konjac noodles and rice?
The konjac rice and noodles have a similar structure and taste to Chinese vermicelli. Our products don't have fishy smell, which is very often the case with konjac from competitors. Their natural taste is neutral, but any sauce, spices or herbs added to them will give them a nice flavour.
