Carb Blockers As a Low Carbohydrate Diet Plan

Many people today find it difficult to eat a healthy diet because they are concerned about carbohydrates. So people turn to some kind of low carbohydrate diet plan removing starchy foods from their diet (such as potatoes, rice or pasta).

During the digestive stage your body turns carbohydrates into sugar. It does this by breaking down the carbohydrate molecule with an enzyme called alpha amylase.  These new sugars are now either burned off with exercise or stored as fat cells for future use.  The body can actually turn fat back into energy when needed.  However when you are inactive these fat cells accumulate which leads to weight gain.

A low carbohydrate diet plan can really be a great way to lose the excess weight and also gain some secondary health benefits, such as raising your good cholesterol, lowering your triglycerides (a type of fat) and balancing your energy levels. 

Natural herbal diet supplements can be used alongside a healthy diet and/or exercise regimen. A healthy diet and a some form of exercise is always recommended as part of a healthy life style.  While some supplements are used to suppress appetite while others are used to block carbohydrates from turning into unwanted weight. Carb blockers work by neutralizing the digestive enzyme alpha amylase. This stops your body from turning starch into glucose and reducing the amount of carbohydrates absorbed.

The main ingredient in Carb blockers is Phaseolamin which comes from white kidney beans.    There are a few different products on the market that are offered as carb blockers. The problem is that almost all of these products do not contain enough phaseolamin in them to have the outcome one would hope for. Pharmechem Laboratories however has created a new and improved version of phaseolamin called Phase 2.

During a clinical study Phase 2 was shown to reduce fat body mass by 10.45% on a controlled group of subjects.  The clinical study also showed a 13% increase in energy levels and a 26 point drop in triglyceride levels.   The test group was given a mixed full diet to follow in this clinical study. This study shows that the carb blockers Phase 2 can be used as part of your carbohydrate diet plan and will work. 

Although a healthy diet is still very important to your everyday life, it is good to know that you don't have to limit yourself or cut out some of your favorite foods to shed those extra pounds.
