| Carb Blocker/Starch Blocker
Carb blocker diet
pills claim that you can lose
weight without changing your diet. They work by
inhibiting the metabolism of carbohydrates into stored
fat. Supplements sold as "starch blockers"
or "carb blockers" are really starch-enzyme
blockers; they inhibit the body's production of the
starch-digesting enzyme, alpha-amylase. With lessened
amounts of alpha-amylase, the body is less able to break
down starches (carbohydrates) into sugar (glucose) for
further digestion. That's how starch blocker work - at least on a theoretical level.
The critical ingredient of these products is called
phaselous vulgaris, an extract from the northern white
kidney bean. The extract interferes with an enzyme in
the body called alpha-amylase that breaks down carbohydrates
into glucose. Instead of carbohydrates being broken
down and turning to fat, the carbs are excreted from
the body before they can enter the bloodstream. Manufacturers
of carb inhibitors list side effects such as gastrointestinal
distress, heartburn, excessive gas and diarrhea.
Brand names include CarboLock, Ultra Carb Blocker,
Carb Away, Ultimate Carb Phaser 1000, Carb Cutter, Carb
