{"id":74,"count":2,"description":"\"carb carbohydrates: we all love them. even if we are on a diet we still eat them. that\u2019s why we want a carb blocker, so we can eat what we want without gaining the pounds! over the last few years, low-carb diets have grown in popularity\u2014even many restaurants have \u2018low-carb options\u2019 on their menus.\r\n

what is a carb blocker?<\/h2>\r\nso, how does the human body use carbs, and how does a carb blocker work<\/a>? carbohydrates are the substances your body uses to make glucose which is the fuel to keep you going. there are basically two types of carbohydrates: simple carbohydrates which are sugars and sweeteners found in many processed products, and complex carbohydrates which are found in grains, fruits and vegetables, and in many dairy products.\r\n\r\ncarbohydrates are a necessary part of the diet. the problem is, without the proper amounts of fiber to quickly move carbs out of the system, constipation can occur.\r\n

simple and complex carbs<\/h2>\r\neven if you\u2019re not worried about the potential for storing those simple carbohydrates on your hips, you may want to take some science into account. according to the american journal of clinical nutrition<\/em><\/a>, \u201chigher dietary intake of simple carbohydrates was associated with lower hdl-cholesterol concentrations.\u201d\r\n\r\nhdl is the \u201cgood\u201d cholesterol. complex carbohydrates and fiber, however, have the ability to provide the energy the body needs along with vitamins and nutrients the body can use for a substantial amount of time. they can also help you control weight.\r\n

how do carb blockers work?<\/h2>\r\na carb blocker, once known as a starch blocker, works very similarly to fiber. it quickly moves the carbs out of the body to keep them from absorbing them. how does this process work? carb-blocking supplements usually are made of an extract of phaseolus vulgaris\u2014or simply kidney beans!\r\n\r\na low-carb diet can produce similar results. diet pills with this extract block the enzyme alpha-amylase<\/a> (produced in the saliva) from binding with starches and breaking them down into molecules the body will absorb. these products block that process so the carbs will move quickly out of the body without being absorbed.","link":"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/carb-blocker\/","name":"carb blocker","slug":"carb-blocker","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":{"menu_description":"","does_not_have_reviews":false,"is_medically_reviewed":true,"medically_reviewed_by":{"id":43,"user_firstname":"anthony","user_lastname":"dugarte","nickname":"anthony dugarte","user_nicename":"anthony-dugarte-m-d","display_name":"anthony dugarte m.d.","user_email":"summer@two.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2017-07-03 17:47:49","user_description":"anthony dugarte, m.d., c.s.c.s. is a cleveland, ohio native who has enjoyed success in sports, as well as academics. he accepted a full athletic scholarship to attend kent state university and graduated, cum laude, with a b.s. in exercise physiology. he is currently the research fellow for the department of orthopedic surgery at regions hospital in st. paul, minnesota. additionally, dr. dugarte has 8 years\u2019 experience as a certified strength and conditioning specialist, certified through the national strength and conditioning association.","user_avatar":false}},"yoast_head":"\ncarb blocker reviews -
