Keep Eating- Then Take a Carb Blocker?
UCLA researchers have found an extract in white kidney beans may help the body stop carbs from breaking down into sugars. A digestive enzyme in the body normally acts like scissors, literally cutting starches into little sugars. Phase 2 stops the enzyme from cutting, so the starches stay in the body as long fibers and are burned off quicker. Patients in the clinical studies who took Phase 2 lost body fat, not lean muscle. -sciencedaily.com
MY COMMENT: I have a better idea- instead of blocking carb digestion in your gut, why not eat smaller portions, add white kidney beans to your diet, and get more exercise?
The FDA recognizes Phase 2, but doctors say it isn’t a miracle pill. Patients still need to watch what they eat and exercise. But at least they don’t have to give up carbs for good. It is available over the counter at health food stores for about $25 a bottle
