Is Carbohydrate Absorption the Solution to Weight Loss Problems? By Charles Volcalatte At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

There are literally thousands of weight loss and dieting systems for people to choose from. A new idea that hit the market recently is that carbohydrates are the culprit for people who have had trouble losing weight. One company embracing this idea is Nature’s Sunshine which has produced a diet pill called CarboGrabbers which claims prevention of carbohydrate absorption. It is directed to be consumed before every meal with the potency to aid in carb-blocking and accumulation.

The Power Contents
Carbo Grabbers® considers the White Kidney Bean extract to be its main ingredient. It contains amylase inhibitors which are known to be a digestive enzyme responsible for metabolizing complex carbohydrates and prevents it from being absorbed by the body.

The manufacturer has invitingly presented this product to convince consumers that it is a sure fire for weight loss. But the truth is even though Nature’s Sunshine claims a 50% blockage of the carbohydrates one has consumed, White Kidney Bean has not been proven to work on simple sugars such as those found in cakes and biscuits. After which, other forms of digestive enzymes begin to perform subsequent to amylase ceasing.

The other ingredients mentioned to be included in the formula are cellulose, gelatin and water.

Suggested Carbo Grabbers® Routine
The instructions provided for Carbo Grabbers® indicates two capsules should be consumed prior to a loaded meal of carbohydrates which may seem familiar and common to bingeing and purging. This pattern is not advisable for it may be incorporated into one’s lifestyle which may result harmful effects. And it is pretty obvious that this product’s concept for weight loss is food-in, food-out.

It often raises our doubts when a product endorses overeating for weight management. Some forms of carbohydrates such as the whole ones may provide energy and would not have any effect for weight gain when consumed moderately. But there are the negative ones as well that endorses adverse effects such as the refined carbohydrates.

The Pro’s and Con’s:
The Pro’s: The product makes use of all-organic ingredients as well as a basic king of formula as per advertisement claim.

The Con’s: One negative effect of this product is that it may induce frequent bowel movements. And although it claims scientific researches were conducted for the benefit of this product they were not posted on its website.

How do we rate Carbo Grabbers®
Carbo Grabbers® has ideally presented its benefits through a simple flow chart of pill consumption, freedom to indulge in carb-kind of diet and then wash it out from the body before it could be digested. We find it hard to believe that there is such efficiency aid for this product, how could we not? There aren’t any cited scientific research that would validate this kind of claim.

There was an incident in 2004 wherein the US FDA of the Food and Drug Administration notified Nature’s Sunshine to be misbranding their product Carbo Grabbers®. For they have not cited any scientific research to support its claim of efficacy.
