Phase 2 Diet Supplement Side Effects

Phase 2 is a popular diet supplement that claims to block the absorption of carbohydrates in the body. If the carbohydrates are blocked, then they do not have the opportunity to turn into sugar or fat, which can then lead to weight loss. As with many diet pills, there are positive and negative results. This article should help you understand more about Phase 2 as well as some potential side effects you should keep in mind.

Weight Loss from Phase 2

According to claims, one gram of Phase 2 will neutralize 2,250 calories of carbohydrates (equivalent to a loaf of bread or a pound of pasta).

For many individuals, carbohydrates are considered to be an enemy of weight loss. While anything will lead to weight gain if it not eaten in moderation, carbohydrates are very valuable to your overall health, as they provide your body with much needed energy. However, for those who eat carbohydrates excessively, they may be attracted to carbohydrate-blocking supplements such as Phase 2.

If Phase 2 works as claimed, fewer carbs are absorbed by the body (approximately 66 to 75 percent fewer carbs) and you lose weight because that is a lower percentage of carbs that turn to fat in the body.

Active Ingredients in Phase 2

The active ingredient in Phase 2 is an extract from white kidney beans. This is an all-natural ingredient. The maximum strength version of Phase 2 also includes other popular diet pill ingredients, such as chromium, magnolia bark extract and black pepper extract.

Proof of Effectiveness

Some clinical studies have shown that this product is safe and effective in reducing carbohydrate consumption. However, other studies have shown that the effectiveness of white kidney bean extract is inconclusive. As with many other weight-loss supplements, this may work for some people and not for others.

Recommendations

In order for the supplement to be beneficial, it is recommended that one gram is taken before a meal containing starchy carbohydrates. Depending on which Phase 2 product you try, there will be more specific recommendations that you should follow. In addition, it is recommended that people who have been diagnosed with diabetes, or pregnant women, should not take Phase 2 carbohydrate blockers.

Potential Side Effects

People who take this type of carbohydrate blocker may suffer from side effects. These include heartburn, diarrhea and excessive gas. Other users may also suffer from anxiety. As with any diet pill or supplement, you should let your doctor know that you are taking the product. Discontinue use if you experience negative side effects.
