Phase 2 at Everydaybeauty.
Added: (Mon Apr 25 2005)
Who would have thought that an extract of white kidney bean, known as Phase 2, could make it possible for you to enjoy your favourite foods such as pasta, potatoes, rice and more without assimilating all the calories.
According to 30 years of scientific studies Phaseolamin (Phase 2) has the ability to neutralise starch calories in our food. When taken just before a meal, Phase 2 selectively joins with alpha amylase, which is the enzyme responsible for digesting starch. This action temporarily disables the enzyme making it unable to break down starch for about an hour. This is enough time to enable up to three quarters of the starch eaten to pass through the digestive system without releasing any calories.
Phase 2 only neutralises starch, so all the other valuable nutrients contained within starchy foods are absorbed as normal. The majority of people's food intake contains about one quarter to one third of starch, so 25% to 33% of total caloric intake can be neutralised. For example, if you ate 1125 starch calories in one day, by using Phase 2 the amount absorbed would only be 281 calories. Absorbing 844 calories less than you need per day would mean a sensible, healthy weight loss of 1 to 1.5 pounds per week.
