I just found an add for something called phaseolamin, which they claim blocks the digestive enzyme which converts starch into glucose, preventing the absorbtion of carbs.

Has anyone tried this? Is there anything to it? It sounds too good to be true, but maybe some things can be that good?

Don't wanna be bad... if there was something like this in the market that worked...and was safe to take... don't you think that everyone would be talking about it...?

I just found this on the www:

2. How does Phaseolamin 2250® (LCN Phaseolamin - Phase2™) work?
Phase2™ is formulated to "neutralize" the digestive enzyme, alpha amylase, and may temporarily reduce the caloric impact of starch rich foods. Each 500mg capsule essentially "blocks" 1,125 calories from starches when taken 15 minutes prior to a meal. It will not block sugars (nor does any carbohydrate blocking product.)

Now 'amylase' is in our spit - so what does it do - dry out spit up! Also it does nothing to sugars. Also notice the MAY in the ad. I wouldn't bother personally.
