Carbohydrate Blockers

Carbohydrate blockers cause unpleasant side effects and deny the body of important vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. Here's why:

Side Effects

It is claimed that carbohydrate blockers permit carbohydrates to pass through the body undigested. The side effects of this process include gastrointestinal upset and excessive wind.

Poor Nutrition

Carbohydrate is the body's preferred fuel source: many carbohydrate-rich foods offer vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. So when you block carbohydrates, you deny your body important nutrients.

Safety Issues

People with a medical condition should be wary of carbohydrate blockers: especially people with Diabetes.

Lack of Effectiveness

The manufacturers of carbohydrate blockers claim they can 'block' up to 1125 Calories per meal, helping people lose 5kgs in two months. These results are by no means remarkable.

So when it comes to healthy weight loss there's no quick and easy solution: you need to change your lifestyle by eating a healthy balanced diet and engaging in regular exercise.
