What Are Carb blockers?
Carb blockers are marketed as
weight loss products. The idea is they contain phaselous
vulgaris which is extracted from a type of kidney bean.
This chemical is said to stop
the enzyme alpha-amylase from breaking down those
carbohydrates you’ve consumed.
Instead of ending up in your
bloodstream, the carbs end up not being usable and so they
are excreted with the rest of the waste from the body.
Because the carbs never enter
your bloodstream, they won’t be saved up or converted into
body fat later.
Additionally, your body will have to use the
reserves you’ve already stored which can help you lose
weight.
Side Effects
Because the carbohydrates are excreted from the body, most
of the side effects are related to your bathroom habits.
Users have reported problems such as excessive gas and
diarrhea, as well as other types of “gastrointestinal
distress.” You may also have severe heartburn. |
