Review
Summary |
Ultra Carb Bloc was invented by Sterling Grant Laboratories, a company which produces nutraceutical products, such as weight loss supplements, sports nutritional products and life style products. Ultra Carb Bloc employs a carb blocking technology, creating a product that is purported to allow individual’s to eat carbs such as pasta, bread and potatoes without weight gain.
In many ways its sounds too good to be true – you can eat your cake and not gain weight. Carb blockers are not new to the weight loss market, many varieties of carb blockers have proliferated the marketplace. In general, we believe Ultra Carb Bloc does not contain any ingredients that are not commonly used in these products. However, we will investigate Ultra Carb Bloc further to see if it has anything new to offer.

 | Ingredients At A Glance |
|
Ultra Carb’s formulary contains something called Inhibanol™, which is just another patented name for Phaseolamin, which is a protein derived from White Kidney Bean Extract. This protein contained in the White Kidney Bean Extract is alleged to stop the digestive system from metabolizing carbs; for all intents and purposes, it creates a shield between the carbs and the digestive enzymes, so that the pasta or bread you eat passes through the system with being digested.
There is some research that indicates that White Bean Extract may help some people with this, but it is still inconclusive. At this time, further research is being done to see if carb blockers are viable addition to weight loss programs.

 | Ingredients in Focus |
|
In general, White Bean Extract is not the fabled holy grail of weight loss products. It is an extract that has the potential of being a helpful and gentle extract based supplement, which may help prevent the absorption of carbs in the digestive system, and may one day be useful in a balanced weight loss plan.
There is no decisive research that indicates that everyone should begin taking carb blockers and eat as many carbs as they want. The Ultra Carb Bloc website promises “no failure” with reference to its product, which is a not to subtle guarantee of weight loss. We do not believe currently available research supports this claim.
|
 | Diet Lifestyle |
|
Research indicates that the most reliable method of true weight loss and sustained weight loss is through exercise of some type, such as some type of cardio and/or strength training, combined with a balanced diet. We believe part of creating a balanced diet plan is learning to make healthy choices when eating; carb blockers remove this useful tool from the weight loss tool box.
However, carbs are not the enemy if eaten in moderation. Overall, many different types of food can cause weight gain, besides carbohydrates, such as fats, which carb blockers such as Ultra Carb Bloc, do not address, nor do they tackle the emotional components of overeating and weight gain.

 | Final Thoughts |
|
Ultra Carb Bloc may be of use for those are looking for a carb blocking specific form of supplementation. We live in a carb worshiping culture, which is always looking for a quick fix, so we can eat our carbs and not gain weight. Some people who use this product may achieve some minor weight loss.
However, we believe carb blockers in general are not the answer to sustained weight loss or muscle gain as are more effective products on the market. Carb blockers are very trendy right now and this product can be purchased for around $29.95.
