Great article, but LO-O-OOONG
On the subject of the different "blocker" type drugs and herbs - the large bowel (colon) is designed to deal with properly and fully digested food. Undigested fat, and undigested carbohydrates are foreign
irritants that were never meant to make it through the small intestine intact. Longterm use of these products can't help but lead to problems in the long run. Diarrhea and greasy stools being the result of undigested fats; diarrhea, gas and overgrowth of yeast and bacteria from undigested suagr/carbs. Another serious longterm effect of fat blockers is that the vital fat-soluble vitamins - A, D, E and K, as well as essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and -6) are not absorbed either. Unfortunately, in the weight loss world, there is no Cheat and Eat solution. The only thing being cheated is your health.
Fat blockers are unnecessary with a lowcarb program. In fact, you WANT to digest the fat, especially the unsaturated essential fats from flax, olives, nuts ... these can help boost the metabolism and enhance bodyfat-burning.
Of the "carb blocker" supplements, certain components of these do indeed show promise in helping to stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels, carb cravings and fat storage. Citrimax / Hydroxycitrin/ garcinia cambogia is generating significant unbiased and objective scientific interest as well . These elements are found in Pentabosol, so indeed this new supplement holds some promise ..
... It seems though, it's only available by special order ---- (I have to admit I thought the article was just an infomercial at first)
Thanks for telling us about this Bonnie! Very interesting indeed.
