How Do Low Carb Diet Pills Work?

With the recent popularity of low-carb diets like Atkins and South Beach, many dieters are turning to carbohydrate-blocking supplements to reach their weight loss goals. Theoretically, these pills work by preventing your body from absorbing the carbohydrates in the foods you eat, which in turn prevents the excess sugar in your blood stream from turning to stored fat. The active ingredient in most brands is kidney bean extract.

There are many popular brands on the market, including TrimSpaT, CarbRxT, DietrineT, CortiCarbT and CarbSuppressT. You can buy them online, find them in local health and nutrition stores, or even order from those countless TV ads. Devotees claim that they do indeed help users to lose weight, sometimes significant amounts of weight in a relatively short time, although scientific studies dispute their effectiveness.

Are Low Carb Diet Pills Safe?

Some dieters experience adverse side effects while using low carb diet pills, including nausea, upset stomach and other gastro-intestinal distress. In fact, the FDA has pulled several brands off the market in recent years, and has ordered some manufacturers to modify the claims they make in their marketing materials.

Be aware that daily use of these products may increase the unpleasant side effects, and could result in bloating, excess gas, diarrhea and heartburn. As with any diet plan, be sure to check with your doctor, and make sure you talk about possible interactions with medications you are taking.
