Learn How The Dietrine Carb Blocker Works

So many people are looking for some type of weight loss product or diet that actually works. While there are many types of diets, pills, and methods, I want to discuss the carb blocker in general and the Dietrine Carb Blocker in specific. Before deciding on any carb blocker you will want to know what a carb blocker is, how it works, and be sure that it is safe and effective. This article will talk about using carb blockers for weight loss and examine how the Dietrine Carb Blocker compares to the standard.

Weight loss products that work on the carb blocker principal do so by blocking carbohydrates from being absorbed into your system. To fully understand how a carb blocker works, it is necessary to learn how the human body processes carbohydrates. During the digestive process, the body converts carbohydrates into sugar or glucose. Foods such as starch are known as complex carbohydrates while sugary foods are simple carbohydrates. All foods will eventually be broken down to the simple glucose but the complex carbohydrates take more time and processing. The resulting sugar calories are essential for supplying your body with energy but if you get too much then these excess calories are stored as fat cells for future use. If you consume more carbohydrates then you burn off then the result is weight gain. A carb blocker works by blocking the action of turning excess carbohydrates into fat. It is a fact that many carb blockers don't work so why is the Dietrine Carb Blocker different?

The Dietrine Carb Blocker with Phase 2 makes the claim that it is an exclusive, all-natural nutritional ingredient extracted from white kidney beans and works by neutralizing the digestive enzyme alpha amylase before it can convert starch into glucose and then into fat. This allows the carbohydrates to pass through the system with less caloric intake. The Dietrine Carb Blocker states that it product works better because of it's utilization of the Phase 2 starch blocker that cheaper carb blockers don't utilize. So what is Phase 2?

Phase 2 has been clinically proven to reduce the absorption of starch by 66 to 75 percent which results in significantly less net caloric intake. Phase 2 is a non-stimulant, all natural nutritional ingredient and works to neutralize starch, found in your favorite foods such as potatoes, breads, pasta, rice, corn and crackers. Take one Dietrine Carb Blocker with Phase 2 capsule prior to a meal can block up to 1125 calories. This all sounds good but is the Dietrine Carb Blocker safe to use?

The Dietrine Carb Blocker claims that it is 100% natural with no known side effects and is completely safe and contains no dangerous stimulants. The Dietrine Carb Blocker also claims that they have done studies indicating that are no known side effects and no known interactions with any other herbal dietary supplement or drug. This carb blocker is said to contain no ephedra, no ma huang, no ephedrine and no stimulants of any kind and is extremely safe if taken as directed. The Dietrine Carb Blocker also says that it addition to blocking carbohydrates, it will increase metabolism, boost energy, and act as an appetite suppressant to control hunger cravings.

The Dietrine Carb Blocker claims to be a safe and effective method for losing weight but then again most companies will make the same claim. The company does state that it has done extensive research to back up its claims and offers a 100% guarantee if the product does not work for you. If you need to lose a significant amount of weight and diet and exercise have not been effective then the Dietrine Carb Blocker may be a possible solution.

Dietrine Carb Blocker Reviewed

I was all ready to sit down and start my review of Dietrine like every other review, but I've decided that, since Dietrine is a different type of weight loss supplement, I'd do a different kind of review.

Instead of eating and behaving normally and recording the results I am going to alter my diet substantially to a very high carb diet. Dietrine is a carb blocker, so I figure that the best way to test its carb blocking effectiveness is to change my diet so that there are a lot of carbs to block. I don't normally eat many carbs (aside from the occasional beer), so in order to get the most from this review I had to really stock up.

My diet consists of:

  • Two beers a day (Miller Genuine Draft)
  • One sandwich a day on whole wheat bread.
  • A roll with dinner.
  • Cereal in the morning.
  • Lots and lots of mashed and roasted potatoes.
I'm not going to go on a high fat diet, but rather a high carb diet to test Dietrine.

My Results

My results were slow to appear. I actually gained 6 pounds the first two weeks, but that's probably because I just went crazy with the carbs- every meal I ate had at least two different sources of simple and complex carbohydrates.

However, I began to lose roughly 5 pounds in the third and fourth week, and I actually lost another 4 after I went off of Dietrine. So, in total, I wound up losing 8 pounds over the course of a month, and that's with an insanely intense carb-heavy diet.

I was actually surprised that I didn't gain more weight, and I was quite happy when I saw Dietrine really do its thing in the latter half of the month. For a few days I was actually getting quite discouraged as I thought that Dietrine wasn't actually going to do anything. Yet, almost as if it knew what I was thinking, it came along and helped me shed the weight I gained and more.

I didn't experience any side effects that I can attribute to Dietrine. If anything, I felt quite good for the entire time that I was on it.

Conclusion

I will admit that losing weight is tricky business, and any advantage that one might obtain is a definite help. However, many people have the wrong perception when it comes to weight loss supplements: in order to lose any weight in the long term you need to make life changes along with taking the supplement.

Dietrine appears to be no different to this rule, but that's a good thing. Dietrine did its job and it did it well, despite my efforts to sabotage them. This is an indication of a good, well-rounded product that meets its expectations and delivers on its promises. In this industry that's definitely a rare occurrence.

Good job Dietrine- you've got my respect.
