The statistics have been reported in all the major news magazines, on the nightly news and in newspapers from coast to coast. Overall, adult men and women are about 8 pounds heavier, on average, than they were 15 years ago. According to the National Institutes of Health, over 100 million Americans - or about 60 percent of the adult population - are overweight. As many as a third are considered "obese," a term that in general is applied when a person is 20 percent or more above their ideal body weight.
PhaseLean Plus™ contains Phase2® (Phaseolus vulgaris extract), which has been known to inhibit the body's production of the starch-digesting enzyme, alpha-amylase. With lessened amounts of alpha-amylase, the body is less able to break down starches (carbohydrates) into sugar (glucose) for further digestion, supporting a low carb weight loss program.

Benefits of low-carbohydrate Atkins diet reaffirmed
According to the Annals of Internal Medicine, the claimed benefits of the controversial low-carbohydrate Atkins diet have been
reaffirmed in two new studies, one of which is the longest study to date. Both new studies found that subjects on the Atkins diet shed significant amounts of weight without harmful effects on blood fats and sugars. But the studies have failed to silence critics of the diet, who want the US government to investigate alleged adverse effects, informs newscientist.com
Low-Carbohydrate vs. Low-Fat Diet
The New England Journal of Medicine performed an independent study that proved another study -- not funded by Atkins -- in the same issue of the journal
followed 132 obese adults, most suffering from diabetes, for 12 months. Half
were assigned to an Atkins-like diet, half to a low-fat diet.
Severely obese subjects with a high prevalence of diabetes or the metabolic syndrome lost more weight during six months on a carbohydrate-restricted diet than on a calorie-and fat-restricted diet, with a relative improvement in insulin sensitivity and triglyceride levels, even after adjustment for the amount of weight lost. This finding should be interpreted with caution, given the small magnitude of overall and between-group differences in weight loss in these markedly obese subjects and the short duration of the study. Future studies evaluating long-term cardiovascular outcomes are needed before a carbohydrate-restricted diet can be endorsed.
