Partner Series—Carb Control for Weight Management

Natural Products Marketplace Partner Series

Holistic pharmacist, Sherry Torkos, discusses the evolution of dietary trends--from fat-free to low carb--to the renewed importance of carb control in managing weight gain. She recommends a variety of tips for controlling the impact of carbs in the diets—including choosing carbs that are low on the glycemic index; eating small, frequent meals; increasing fiber intake, using alternative sweeteners, combining fats and proteins with carbs, adding cinnamon to the diet and using supplements containing Phase 2 Carb Controller. She reviews numerous human studies of Phase 2 for promoting weight loss, reducing after-meal blood glucose levels and reducing the glycemic index of starchy foods. Product forms and availability of Phase 2 are discussed, as well as a newly introduced food form of the ingredient.
