Hydrogel-based expanding pill for weight loss shows promising results in trial

I take psyllium husk pills in the morning for some additional fiber intake and better stool passing, and I haven't felt much need for breakfast. I wonder if I'm conditioned to not feel hungry early in the morning, or the pills have some satiation effects similar to the hydrogel here.

I wonder how this pill compares to the already quite cheap psyllium husk, and what it does to the stool.

Could you share a link to what the pill you take is? (Specifically how many mg to have the effect you're describing)

I've noticed similar satiation with psyllium as well.

I do a 32hr fast once a week and will consume a scoop of psyllium when I get hungry and it's quite filling for 2-3 hours before the hunger kicks back in.
