I came across an article in a recent paper that passed through my university yesterday about treating obesity with enzymes and plant extracts instead of, and alongside of, the usual calorie restricted diet and exercise programmes.
Basically they used certain compounds (Alpha-AI1)extracts (White Kidney Bean/Phase 2 and Chlorogenic Acid) and enzymes (Prevotella bacteria) that blocked or reduced the effects of the Amlayse enzyme.
"Amlayse is the enzyme responsible for the breakdown, digestion and absorbtion of carbohydrates."
"By blocking and/or reducing the effects of the Amlayse enzyme the amount of carbohydrates that are broken down and absorbed is significantly reduced,
Instead they are passed through the body via the natural systems unabsorbed and then excreted."
Now this could lead to weight loss by
1)Reducing the amount calories absorbed from the undigested carbohydrates
2)Reducing the insulin response via a reduction of sugars from the undigested carbohydrates entering the bloodstream
Does anybody have any experiences with these so called "Carb Blockers" or extracts in regards to weight loss?
Thoughts, Experiences And Responses will be repped.
