Is It true that aLow Carb Diet is low in Fiber?
It is a common misconception or myth that a diet reduced in carbohydrate (low carb diet) is automatically low in fiber. In fact, most non-starchy vegetables and low sugar fruits are quite high in fiber. Think Blueberries and Strawberries as an example. But overall many folks choose the wrong diet and therefore miss out on the important ingestion of fiber – no matter how often you write about the benefits of a well designed fiber diet. We decided to take a different approach and to add a carb blocker to our fiber diet that eliminates a large portion of the problem described above.
During the digestive process, your body converts carbohydrates, found in starchy foods such as potatoes and pasta, into sugar. Your body does this by breaking-down the carbohydrate molecule with alpha amylase, an enzyme that is produced in the pancreas. These sugar calories are either burned off, through exercise, or stored as fat cells for future use. Future use is usually equal to weight gain or better FAT.
Now add Dietrine Carb Blocker to our normal fiber 35 diet and suddenly we had a huge success at our hands. Testers who usually enjoyed a diet rich of carbs did not have to cut back on those food items, but added the Dietrine Carb Blocker to their diet. What is Dietrine Carb Blocker? Dietrine Carb Blocker with Phase 2®, an exclusive, all-natural nutritional ingredient extracted from white kidney beans, "neutralizes" the digestive enzyme alpha amylase before it can convert starch into glucose, thereby reducing the amount of carbs absorbed. Essentially, it allows the carbohydrates to pass through the system with less caloric intake.* Preliminary research and clinical studies indicate that the Phase 2® starch blocker may reduce the absorption of starch, thereby reducing the amount of carbs absorbed, resulting in significantly less net caloric intake.
Our testers reported much more satisfaction from the food choices that were now available. They also reported that their weight loss efforts did not stop, but continued on even though they were eating carbs in normal amounts. We decided to let the tests continue for 6-8 weeks and the results were outstanding. Our fiber diet was still in effect and testers enjoyed a lifestyle during their diet they did not dream about before. No, we cannot report that our testers lost 20 lbs in 3 days, but rather we can report a steady and healthy weight loss – which is much more important in our opinion.
