White kidney bean extract
So you have heard something about using white kidney bean extract to lose weight, have you? If you would like to know a bit more about how it works and how safe it is, then read on for a brief scoop.
The ordinary bean is one of the oldest foods known to man with evidence of bean cultivation close to 6,000 BCE having been excavated in Peru. The white kidney bean comes to us from Mexico and Guatemala, dispersed worldwide by Spanish and Portuguese explorers. OK. Enough history. You want to know how white kidney bean extract helps you lose weight, right?
Let's use a nice starchy potato for an example. You eat the potato. Your digestive juices break down the big starch molecules using alpha amylase, an enzyme produced by the pancreas. This converts the starch to more readily absorbable--i.e., smaller--sugar molecules and shoots them into the bloodstream for energy. However, if you don't do something to use all that energy, the body hauls them out of the bloodstream and socks away this extra sugar into storage cells for future use. That's how you get fat. A magic pill full of white kidney bean extract, however, will stop that from happening!
How, you ask? There is a property of white kidney bean extract which stops the alpha amylase enzyme from doing its job of breaking down the carbohydrates into sugars. Very simply, the starches can't get absorbed! Neat, no? The result is that the starch just continues down your intestines and you end up excreting them as waste.
Is it safe, you ask? There have been several double-blind tests done by white kidney bean extract companies and their results independently confirm that there is no risk to your kidneys or your health. They've tested the blood sugar levels after starchy meal consumption and found minimal increase in blood sugar at the 45 minute interval, which is where the normal sugar spike would be found.
When do you take the white kidney bean extract, you ask? Studies have found that a pill taken just before or just as you consume your starchy meal works best. It makes no difference if the starch is from rice or crackers, potatoes or noodle soup.
What if I forget to take my white kidney bean extract pill? While taking the extract before or with a starch-rich meal is best, taking it after the meal--or as soon as you remember during the meal--still provides a measure of benefit.
As far as your body is concerned, a starch is a starch, so taking a white kidney bean extract pill after you order up your plate of french fries should leave you with a huge smile on your soon-to-be-thinner face!
