Healthy Origins Phase 2-Starch Neutralizer, 500 mg - Good Carb Blocker - All Natural Carb Starch Blocker for Weight Management - Vegan, Non-GMO & Gluten-Free Supplement - 180 Veggie Capsules

Works great you don't feel overly full and uncomfortable after eating it seems to get rid of the bloating.

I started using this about 16 months ago. I eat sensibly, and did not want to pursue any weird restrictive fad diets. I wanted to eat a sandwich, moderate portion of pasta, or a piece of pizza occasionally.I wanted to be able to go out to dinner once or twice a week.I was not interested in some strange combination, like butter in coffee, that people do only on a Monday.I started using use this product only after researching it thoroughly.It has been easy to use, and I take it before eating starches in moderation, understanding it will reduce the absorption.I don't weigh myself, and I wan't looking for quick results of any kind.But I have been very surprised recently by the number of people who haven't seen me in awhile, who say I lost weight and look great;Also, within the last week or two, several clothing items that were too tight last year now fit loosely.You can't use this to negate the calories of half a pizza, you still have to eat sensibly, but this is a very do-able and affordable thing you can do for the rest of your life.I don't eat snacks, almost never eat sweets, and recently started exercising moderately, 4 days a week, but I credit most of my success to this product.I think that people who say it doesn't work are not giving it enough of a chance. Anything to do with fitness or diet takes longer than a month to see results.If you are thinking you are going to lose 3 lbs a week just with this, no. More like 3 lbs a month, and suddenly everyone is saying how fit you look.

These are easy to swallow capsules. Each capsule has 500 mg, with the dosage being 2 capsules for 1000mg. I had originally used another brand that included chromium picolinate. I had tried the combo with skepticism, but I found that it legit helps if you use it with other modifications. Yes, you can absolutely skip all this and just work to remove weight or whatever your goal is. But I find adding this in just gives me a little added boost. So why not?!?! So when I ran out of the other-- and not wanting to get off my routine-- I scouted around for a cheaper option. Not finding it, I decided to simply buy the two ingredients separately (a bottle of this white kidney bean extract, and a bottle of chromium picolinate). Best idea ever. This is the chromium picolinate I currently use:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00URYHOI0/If you are brand new to white kidney bean extract, it can initially create some stomach upset-- nothing big-- gassiness, movement. But it simmers down as body adjusts.Even reducing starches or sugars in the body by a little can have great impact on weight loss. I wont claim that it helps with diabetic/insulin resistance issues, but if blood sugar can be controlled and there arent the highs and lows being experienced, then I cant see how it wouldnt be helpful. If you are trying to lose weight, every single time you eat-- whether it has sugar, carbs or not, your blood sugar spikes some. Now add in the food being starchy, and it is even more so. So if someone can be benefited by a simple, cheap supplement, then why not. But if you are going to incorporate it, then know as with anything else, you still have to be mindful of what you are eating. Though gotta say, I am still piling in the pizza and losing weight.

I don't take this daily or even weekly, and never used it at all while actively losing weight. I lost weight and have kept it off for almost three years simply by keeping carbs low. I am 46 years old, 5'5" tall, and currently weigh less than 125 lbs.That said, now that I'm no longer actively trying to lose weight, I very occasionally decide to eat something "off-plan", so I take Phase 2 about a half hour prior. The scale is the only tool I have to measure the effectiveness. If I eat high carb for a whole meal or a whole day, the scale will reflect a few pounds of water weight gain over the next two days. You can drop this yourself within a week or so if you just go back on plan and stay there. But when I take Phase 2 before an occasional high carb meal, I have a gain of 0 - 1 pound of water weight which drops off right away.During the holidays, I did try to take Phase 2 more often to counteract the effects of all the starches I was allowing myself to eat. In my experience, Phase 2 does not work this way. It doesn't work AT ALL against sweets (and doesn't claim to), and it will not prevent 100% of starch calories from being absorbed. It seems to work best against a once-in-awhile baked potato.This product will not allow you to eat bread freely and not gain weight. It's a useful tool that does seem to work to offset the bagel sandwich you enjoy once every couple of weeks, or when you throw caution to the wind on Thanksgiving day. You will still need to eat properly most of the time to lose or maintain weight. I think this product lives up to its claims in a way that matches a realistic expectation of how it should work. I would recommend it.

This product made my tongue and lower jaws tangle. It also made my ears feel clogged or full of air. It got me really scared when I tried this product. What I can say if after I ate a mean when using this i did use the restroom. So I think it works but I don't things my jaws and tongue should have tangled like that- idk if all carb blockers do that but that was quite the scare

Great carb blocker. Recommended before eating a high starch meal.

I have been taking these pills but have not seen any difference in my weight. I don't know if after a month or more they will actually work but as of now, nothing has happened.
