What are carb & fat inhibitors? The goal of a carbohydrate or fat inhibitor is to prevent your body from adding that particular food product to your current fat stores. Instead, carb and fat inhibitors are often “binders,” which attract carbohydrate and fat molecules, causing them to be too large to be digested. The carbohydrate and fat clusters are then naturally expelled.

Who are carb & fat inhibitors best used by? Despite what you might think, it is still important to consume a low-calorie, low fat diet when using a carbohydrate or fat inhibitor. Carb or fat inhibitors are only able to “attract” a small amount of consumed fat (around 30%), so eating large quantities of fatty or carb-rich foods can still cause you to gain weight. If your goal is to prevent your body from adding to its current fat stores, a carb or fat inhibitor may provide a solution to your increasing weight gain.
