What do Fat Carb Blockers Do
June 11, 2009
Fat carb blockers are comprised primarily of chitosan, and often include other components such as psyllium and oat bran. These ingredients combined are believed to be able to aid in a person’s weight loss without them actually needing to go on a diet.
Fat carb blockers are believed to work by teaching our bodies a different way to react to carbohydrates. Instead of unused carbohydrates being turned into and stored as fat, the fat carb blockers teach the body to do otherwise with the carbs.
The key ingredient found in fat carb blockers is chitosan. Chitosan is a fiber that is responsible for absorbing fat before it gets stored. The chitosan does not break down the carbohydrate.
Instead, it absorbs it. It does not give the body time to store the unused carbohydrates. Instead, it pushes the carbohydrates immediately into the digestive tract.
This diversion straight to the digestive system allows the chitosan to eliminate fat that would normally remain in the body. For this reason, people feel that fat carb blockers are a form of a weight loss pill.
When people take fat carb blockers they need to remember that they need to take them with a meal that has saturated fat. The person also needs to take enough fat carb blockers so that there is a high level of chitosan in the body.
A higher level of chitosan in the body will enable it to absorb the fat that is coming from the meal. Many companies who produce fat carb blockers will say that the key ingredient, chitosan, is capable of absorbing almost seven times the amount of fat.
For example, if the meal you are having is comprised of 14 grams of fat, to properly absorb the fat you would need to take 2000 mg of chitosan to get results.
The fat carb blocker needs to be taken just before you eat a meal or at the same time you are eating. This is because the chitosan must already be in your digestive system at the same time the food is introduced so that it will absorb the carbs and fat properly. So, if you want to lose some pounds sans diet and exercise, try taking a fat carb blocker product with each meal.
As with any product, consult a doctor prior to taking it.
