When I was low carbing quite a few years ago, there were multiple 'supplements' out there that made this claim. I quite frankly don't believe it.

The only way to completely block carbs is to have surgery or not eat them.

Yes, this reeks of Dr. Oz branded quackery.

Just stick with a well balanced diet that makes you happy, a fair amount of activity, and patience.

"White bean extract blocks starch and prevents carbs from being absorbed in the body. Studies show if you absorb fewer calories, you’ll lose fat and your metabolism will speed up. Take one tablet each day before a meal. Purchase vials of 120 tablets online for about $20."

By the way, Dr. Oz is a ****head. One carb magically blocking other carbs? Sheesh.

Kidney beans do help me block anyone from being in the same room with me about an hour later.

I have heard that white kidney beans are delicious! I like to use them in soups! They will make you fart.

If this were true, it would make me not want to eat them.

There's actually some pretty good research on white kidney bean extract at www.phase2info.com. Several clinical studies show this particular brand, Phase 2 Carb Controller, reduces the digestion of starch and aids in weight control. But, beware, all white kidney bean extracts are not created equal. There is no research on generic white kidney bean extract to show it is either effective or safe.

the only way to block carbs is to build a barricade between them and yourself.

Anyway, carbs are delicious.

There is a surgery to block carbs???? what surgery is this?

OP I don't believe anything really blocks carbs except refraining from them... but carbs are delicious and refraining from eating them is just silly.

I don't think they 'block carbs' -- white kidney beans, along with black beans, lentils, etc are slow burning carbs, therefore, they don't hit your system like starchy/fruity carbs.
