What's The Big Deal With Carbs Anyway?

Americans now eat more carbohydrates than ever - 50 more pounds per person, per year, than a decade ago. After decades of being warned away from fats, many people have turned to carbohydrates instead. Research suggests that eating larger amounts of carbohydrates triggers a biological mechanism that lowers the blood sugar level and leads people to need a sugar boost and therefore to crave more carbohydrates. This cycle of eating and craving keeps people hooked on carbohydrates and causes overeating. A basic principle in this process is that carbohydrates turn into sugars that trigger the release of insulin. The insulin routes the sugars to our muscles for energy and stores the rest as fat. Eating larger amounts of carbohydrates triggers a flood of insulin and because there is so much insulin, sugars are cleared from the blood so quickly that people feel hungry again after a very short period of time. So, carbohydrates drive the sugar level up and then the insulin drives it down. Although carbohydrates are not the only kind of food that people crave, nor is insulin the only cause of such a craving, carbohydrates have worked their way into the American diet from pastas to breads to crackers and other starch-laden snack foods.

Carb Eliminator™ To The Rescue!

Carb Eliminator's carbohydrate blocking mechanism contains Phaseolamin 2250™ from Phaseolus vulgaris, an inhibitor of alpha-amylase, an enzyme that promotes the breakdown of starch in the human gastrointestinal tract. Ingestion of this inhibitor reduces the digestion of starch in foods so that less sugars are absorbed. Laboratory tests performed on Phaseolamin 2250™ prove that just 1 gram of the ingredient "neutralizes" over 500 grams of dietary starch, or over 2,250 calories.*
