Carb Blockers
What are Carb Blockers
Carb or starch blockers are diet supplements,
which (according to the makers) reduce the amount of carbs (and carb-calories)
which are ingested and converted into stored fat. Thus, carb blockers
reduce calorie-intake and promote weight loss. Sales of carb blockers
have increased almost tenfold in recent years, stimulated no doubt by
the low-carb dieting fashion.
How Do Carb Blockers Work
Phaseolamin is the crucial ingredient of
carb blockers or starch blockers. Phaseolamin is extracted from the white
kidney bean. Phaseolamin interferes with the enzyme in the body (alpha-amylase)
that breaks down carbs into sugar. As a result carbohydrates are excreted
from the body before they enter the bloodstream. Most carb blocker diet
pills include other nutrients, which are supposed to improve and stabilize
blood sugar. The additional ingredients in most carb blockers include
chromium and vanadium.
How Effective Are Carb Blockers
The sellers of carb blockers say that the
tablets reduce between 30 and 45 grams of carbohydrates from entering
the body.
Carb blocker critics say, these weight loss
supplements may work in the laboratory but not in reality. Carb blockers
are broken down by the digestive system before they can effectively neutralize
carbs in our diet.
What Are The Side Effects of Carb Blockers
The side effects of carb blockers are listed
by manufacturers as heartburn, excessive gas. gastrointestinal distress
and diarrhea.
Sample Price of Carb Blockers
Carb blocker weight loss supplements
typically sell for $15-30 a bottle.
Studies On The Effectiveness of Carb Blockers
Until more studies have been carried out
on carb blockers, there is doubt as to how effective they are for weight
control. Carb blockers, starch blockers, diet pills and weight loss supplements
are not yet a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.
