Why You Should Avoid Fat and Carb Blockers
In a nutshell, they are all hype and no results.
The bottom line is they don’t work. Fat blockers claim to prevent the absorption of fat consumed. Well the amount of fat they actually block is very minimal, and side-effects such as bloating, nausea, and abdominal cramping can sometimes occur. Furthermore, many vitamins are fat soluble, so taking a fat blocker can lead to vitamin defficiencies. They also block GOOD fats such as Omegas 3 and 6. There’s pretty much nothing good about “fat blockers.”
Almost the same goes for carb blockers. Research has shown that carbohydrate absorbtion is not slowed enough to make any noticeable difference. Recent studies have shown the a dosage approximately 5-6 times greater than what is currently available, does slow carb digestion down a little, however, the correlation between carb digestion rate and weight loss has not been proven.
