Carb Blocking Bean Extract for real?

UCLA researchers have found an extract in white kidney beans may help the body stop carbs from breaking down into sugars. A digestive enzyme in the body normally cuts starches into little sugars. Phase 2 which is what this bean extract trial is called stops the enzyme from cutting, so the starches stay in the body as long fibers and are burned off quicker. Patients in the clinical studies who took Phase 2 lost body fat, not lean muscle

"By lowering the amount of starches in our diet and the amount of carbohydrates in our diet, we allow the body to slowly start to burn off that stored energy," says Rosenblatt.  The bean extract, known as Phase 2, which is sold in pill form is also starting to get added to certain foods. Here's how Phase 2 works: A digestive enzyme in the body normally cuts starches into little sugars. Phase 2 stops the enzyme from cutting, so the starches stay in the body as long fibers and are burned off quicker — making losing weight and keeping a normal blood sugar much easier.

Here is some background on this Phase 2 Bean extract

BACKGROUND: Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, examined the effect of white kidney bean extract (called Phase 2) on food and Glycemic Index (GI) levels. The research resulted in the development of many new products for people on special GI diets, including a new pasta. It could especially benefit those people who need to really monitor and control blood sugar levels, as well as overweight people.

The FDA recognizes Phase 2, but doctors say it isn't a miracle pill. Patients still need to watch what they eat and exercise.

An easy way to increase these results is to follow a carb reducing program such as the Dress Size Reduction Diet.  When combined with the Dress Size Reduction Diet program you will be eating good carbs and other key nutrients to help promote the burning of carbs as energy rather than storing them as fat.
