Do you think that the hot water with lemon can be used during the fasting time period? I have been doing a water/tea fast (sometimes with some stevia to give my tongue a taste).
I will have to look into glucomannan in a pill format. I believe shirataki noodles have glucomannan too, but that's more of a meal.
I've been experimenting eating glucomannan with meals ... it changes
the blood sugar curve for how you digest foods. It *really* helps
with hunger pangs and satiation. There is a lot of research on it,
and it's been eaten for hundreds of years in Asia. But taking a little
just before you eat your meal changes the way the meal digests ...
it doesn't spike your blood sugar so much and you feel full for
a lot longer. But your food still digests just fine ... or better ... it
just takes longer to do it.
Anyway, they sell it in gel tabs, or you can buy the powder and
mix it with water or juice. For experimental purposes the
gel tabs are probably easiest:

This has been working really well for me: I've totally cut
out snacking in my window and it seems to have helped
my stomach problems.
Another thing that helps, and works in a similar way, is taking
lemon juice or vinegar just before a meal (or when you get
hunger pangs). Acidic foods change the blood sugar curve,
though I haven't heard a good explanation for why they do that.
Hot water with a little lemon juice is calming AND filling.
