| Unfortunately,
in today's fast-paced society, most Americans consume fast
food meals that are highly concentrated in carbohydrates,
fat, and sugar. It is very easy to order pizza or pasta
for dinner, have a subway for lunch, or a big bowl of cereal
or bagel for breakfast. The problem with the way we eat
is that these foods highly concentrated in carbohydrates
is easily turned into fat.
Low
carb dieting has been shown to be an effective way to lose
weight.
In light of this new information,
many carb-blocking supplements have been introduced to the
market, claiming to remove excess carbohydrates and aid
in weight loss. There are a few natural aids to block carbohydrate
absorption and assist weight loss that are safe and can
be used with confidence. In our annual review of carb-blocking
products, we highlight some of these products.
Most
Consumers Are Confused About Which Carb Blocking Supplement
To Take
We’ve all heard the ads and seen the commercials.
Low carb diets help you lose weight!
There is truth behind these
claims. The active ingredient, responsbile for the carb
blocking properties, comes from an all natural sourcing,
namely the Great Northern White Kidney Bean also known as
Phaseolus Vulgaris or Phaseolamin. The extract from this
bean, when taken orally, is supposed to prevent the body
from making a digestive enzyme called Amylase. This is the
enzyme responsible for breaking down carbohydrates to be
absorbed through the gut and into the bloodstream. There
carbohydrates convert to sugars (like glucose) which cause
blood sugar levels to rise, which causes insulin to spike,
which then scoops up all those excess sugars and converts
them to stored body fat!
The problem is figuring out
which supplements really do block carbs and which ones do
not. There are hundreds of carb blocking products on the
market today.There are a lot of costly products out there
– many of which are over-priced and under-effective.
Yet there are also many new products on the market that
are in fact extremely effective and promising. One must
be able to determine which products contain the most useful,
pure, and potent ingredients, in effective doses. This is
the key to getting the results you desire.
Carb
Blocker Supplement Update
Again this year, we have
taken the time and researched some of the most popular products
on the market to try to find the answers for you. The truth
is, some products contain low-grade ingredients in amounts
far too small to be effective. There are a few, however,
with research behind them that prove that they work.
In our annual ConsumerHealthDigest.com
Carb Blockers Reviewed we offer an insightful look at these
products, so that consumers can make better-informed, educated
decisions when purchasing carb blocking supplements.
Only
A Few Products Make The Cut Again This Year
We have
provided a comprehensive list and objective evaluation of
carb blockers, which truly have the potential to help you
inhibit carbohydrate absorption and lose fat quickly, effectively
and safely. We examined over 100 carb blocking products
over a 3-month period. We also examined the dramatic claims
by some manufacturers that promised unrealistic weight loss
and empty promises. Not only did we encounter unachievable
goals, but also the methods presented were unsafe and unethical.
Only those products that met our criteria are listed in
the results. |
