What are carb blockers?
The majority of dishes and diets provide calories from carbohydrates. When these calories are not burned for energy, the excess is stored as fat on the body resulting in weight gain.
Research suggests that eating less carbs or blocking carbs may help to prevent gaining extra pounds. Fortunately, there are natural carb blockers on the market such as white kidney bean extract that may help prevent weight gain or help you achieve your weight loss goals.
How do carb blockers work?
A carb blocker is a natural supplement made from white kidney bean extract, Phaseolus vulgaris, which blocks the enzyme amylase from breaking down carbohydrates into simple sugars. White kidney bean extract has been the subject of numerous studies and is the most researched carb blocker on the market.
Are carb blockers effective?
Carb blockers appear to block approximately 50% of the carbohydrate digestive enzyme amylase but this does not mean that 50% of all carbohydrates ingested will be blocked because carb blockers do not directly affect the absorption of carbohydrates; they work to increase the time it takes for the enzyme to digest carbohydrates and slow down digestion of carbohydrates.
Carb blockers are available in slimming tablets & pills and are effective at helping you lose weight especially when accompanied by a healthy diet and lifestyle.
