Many people have a love-hate relationship with carbohydrates and fats. Carbs make us feel better by raising our blood sugar level. But eating too many carbs raises your blood sugar too much, causing the body to convert excess amounts to fat. The big challenge is to keep a small slip-up from becoming a big failure. 

That's where Carb Erase, Fat Erase, and Carb & Fat Erase come in. These formulas allow you to indulge occassionally without destroying your diet.
  

Carb Erase Diet -- Reduce calories from carbs 
Now you can look a slice of bread in the eye again...thanks to Carb Erase.

It works by neutralizing alpha-amylase -- the digestive enzyme responsible for converting carbs into blood sugar. This allows a portion of the carbohydrates to pass through the digestive system before they can be converted to glucose, and then fat. This both reduces the caloric impact and lowers the glycemic index of all carbohydrates.*

The ingredient that works its magic is Phase 2®, an all-natural, non-GMO extract of the Northern white kidney bean.

The active ingredient in 2 capsules of Carb Erase, has been shown to neutralize 2,250 starch calories in vitro — equivalent to a pound of pasta or an entire loaf of bread!

A double-blind, placebo-controlled study demonstrated starch absorption averaged 79% less than placebo.*

Lose 6 pounds in 30 days
Another study showed an average of 6.45 pounds of weight loss in 30 days taking the equivalent of one capsule a day before a carbohydrate-rich meal. They also lost an average of 10% body fat mass, more than 3% in waist circumference, and a measurable amount off their hips and thighs with no significant loss of lean body mass. The placebo controlled group lost less than 1 pound of weight. 

Double-blind, placebo-controlled study done on healthy males and females aged 20-45 years, characterized by being 11-33 pounds overweight for at least 6 months. Thirty days before the study began, each participant was guided by a dietician who recommended the content of the complex carbohydrates during one of the principal meals, so that they could get used to this regimen. Participants were weighed at 10, 20 and 30 days, and only 60 volunteers whose weight remained stable during this period were recruited for the study.

Reducing carb intake can help you lose weight along with a healthy diet and exercise program.

Try Carb Erase if bread, cereal, potatoes, pasta or other starchy foods are your weakness. Take 1-2 capsules of Carb Erase 5-30 minutes before a carbohydrate-rich meal to keep starchy foods from turning into fat — and keep yourself on track to achieving your goals!

Fat Erase Diet -- Reduce the effect of fat 
Blunt the effects of fatty foods with Fat Erase. It works by complexing and entrapping fat and oils in your diet, thereby reducing their caloric effect.*

An 8-week, double blind, placebo-controlled study involving 59 overweight women showed a significant weight loss differential of 5 pounds over an 8-week period between those taking the active ingredient in Fat Erase compared to a placebo.* The women did not restrict their caloric intake.

The active ingredient is patented, LipoSan Ultra® brand chitosan, a natural fiber from North Atlantic cold water shrimp shells processed in Iceland. It's backed by studies that demonstrate 3 to 5 times more fat binding than other varieties of chitosan.  Due to its quick action, it can be taken at mealtime as opposed to generic chitosans which need to be taken 30-60 minutes before mealtime.

Study results were based on taking 3 capsules right before two meals each day, typically lunch and dinner.

Reducing fat intake can help you lose weight when combined with a healthy diet and exercise program.*

Try Fat Erase if fried foods, cheese, meat or rich foods knock you off your diet. Take 3 capsules before eating a fat-laden meal.

Not only do people like Carb & Fat Erase to help them lose weight, but many take it just to maintain their weight. We all attend birthday parties, weddings, holiday get-together and barbeques where we know we'll overeat. That's when you take a few capsules before or with a meal to help minimize the damage to your waistline.

When it comes to personal eating patterns, we know that it can be extremely difficult to chage our individual habits. While experience tells us that we don't need another new diet that doesn't work, we do need help. Taking Carb & Fat Erase Diet in conjuction with a responsible diet and exercise program can be just the tool we need to have a realistic chance of taking control of our carb and fat consumption — and our weight. 

Take 2 - 6 before a meal high in carbs and fat.
