1. White bean extract
White bean extract - Cakes, cookies and candy...those delightful delicacies that we love, yet know are so
unhealthy. Full of empty calories and packed with sugar, eat one and gain a pound. Sugar we know, we
recognize, and most of us have a love/hate relationship with it.
Carb blocker
But eating food with sugar added is not the only source of "sugar" we need to pay attention to.
Best carb blockers
White kidney bean extract - Bread, pasta, and potatoes (just to name a few) become a "sugar" when
digested. Yes, sugar! Our digestive system breaks sugar and starchy foods (carbohydrates) into glucose
(sugar) within minutes of consumption; unfortunately, when broken down quickly, the sugar gets into
the blood stream. This increases blood sugar levels and is eventually stored as fat. While carbohydrates
are the main fuel for our vital organs, too many "carbs" in our diet can lead to weight gain and increased
body fat.
Carb blocker - Focus on food choices that are slower to digest; good carbs that have more fiber and
complex carbohydrates. While all carbohydrates are easily digested, complex carbohydrates take longer
to breakdown than simple carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates include: fruits, vegetables, nuts,
seeds, grains, bread, cereal, carrots, rice, potatoes, dry beans and corn; while simple carbohydrates
include: candy, ice cream, cookies and other sweets. Choosing complex carbs over simple carbs can
prevent sugar/glucose from being quickly absorbed into the blood stream. Ideally, absorption will not
occur until the food has passed through the stomach and into the intestines; limiting absorption into the
blood stream (which elevates blood sugar) and eventually being stored as fat. A lower carb intake will
force the body to use its stored fat for energy.
While adjusting your diet to limit your carbohydrate intake is the best choice, most of us are guilty of
splurging, occasionally or even daily. Researchers have discovered a possible solution for the "starch
lover" in all of us! Recent studies revealed an extract in white kidney beans can actually neutralize the
enzyme Alpha amylase. During digestion, the release of Alpha amylase is necessary for the break down
and conversion of starch into sugar. This amazing white bean extract blocks Alpha amylase, thus
preventing the rapid breakdown of carbs into sugar. Basically, the starches and carbs are allowed to pass
through your system without being absorbed into the blood stream, affecting blood sugar levels and
eventually being stored as fat. Losing weight and taking control of your health is easier with this
phenomenal medical breakthrough!
