Overview

The name Phase 2® Carb Controller implies exactly what the manufacturers desire the consumer to believe—it controls the absorption of carbohydrates by temporarily delaying their digestion.  The advertising for Phase 2® claims that the delay in the digestion will allow a portion of those carbohydrates to be converted into glucose, and then fat.  The results—reduced caloric “impact” and possibly lowered Glycemic Index of those carbohydrates you consumed.  Interesting claims, but are they verified by clinical studies? The manufacturers mention some studies that confirmed the supplement is safe and effective and it may assist in weight control when used in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise program.  We would assert that more support is needed to enjoy the full effects of a diet and exercise program.   For instance, an appetite suppressant that helps reduce the cravings you have could reduce the amount of carbohydrates you are consuming and in turn would help to change your eating habits.  After all, changed habits are what will sustain weight loss and improve health.

Ingredients in Focus

Phase 2® claims their white bean extract neutralizes the digestive enzyme alpha amylase, which temporarily delays the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the digestive process. The ingredient has had only marginal success in clinical trials.

Final Thoughts

The intention of any weight management method should be to transform your lifestyle.  The word “diet” seems to infer a temporary solution in some people’s minds, which is the very reason why most diets are not successful for the long haul.  Rather, think of healthy eating and daily exercise as a way of life—embrace it and enjoy it.  Using supplements like Phase 2® may work against the ultimate goal of eliminating the cravings that cause you difficulty in the first place.  From time to time it is helpful to remind your body your brain is in control of your lifestyle and that is where appetite suppressants can be helpful because they can help sustain your determination to eliminate unHealthy Eating from you life.
