I was skeptical but this stuff is incredible. I've been trying to follow a mostly keto diet, to the best of my ability and I'm usually pretty strict but there are days where staying away from carbs is not that simple-like at social gatherings, for instance. This stuff helps me to have cheat days, here and there, without losing total momentum. Since Feb, I've lost 14 lbs and I couldn't be happier. I'm not as bloated, my stomach has really gone down and I can't believe how effective this is. I'll admit, I don't take it every day, only when I eat carbs, which is only every couple of days. While this stuff doesn't give me gas (thank god!), it will make you go to the bathroom, so just so prepared for that. It's nothing crazy, it doesn't give me diarrhea and I can handle it pretty well but if you plan on taking it every day, you may have to adjust to going to the bathroom more often. Either way, it's not the end of the world, at least in my case, and some people might find this beneficial (especially if they're not regular and have problems going to the bathroom.) Regarding the science behind it, here is quote from the internet: "White kidney beans contain a protein known to inhibit the activities of the enzyme alpha-amylase. Alpha-amylase, when inhibited, cannot break down carbohydrates as it usually would, leading to a reduction in the absorption of carbohydrates, including sugars and starches." I hope this helps!

Great product

For the first week or two of taking these capsules, I was drinking tons of water and also watching my carb intake. I truly regret not weighing myself before I started taking them because I know for a fact I lost some weight! I didn't feel as hungry and I was no longer bloated. I was feeling great! After the first couple weeks though I unfortunately went away from my diet and wasn't drinking as much water. I continued taking the white kidney bean capsules and I was shocked that I still wasn't as bloated as I used to be even with going away from my diet and I was still losing weight (although not as much). I can still feel and tell a difference in my body without adding a diet or exercise! A miracle! I can't wait to begin my new diet and exercise program and I know that because I've added these white kidney bean capsules, I will be 100% successful in achieving weight loss and a healthier life!! Highly recommend! I've been telling everyone I know about these amazing pills. Plus, no side effects

Side note: The directions are for 4 capsules per day, yet the bottle only comes with 60 capsules. I would prefer an actual month supply bottle with 120 capsules.

Bought this for a cruise because, why not? My wife and I both took this before each meal. We didn't gain any weight despite everything we ate on the cruise. However, we didn't gain anything on the last cruise either without taking anything for carb control and we ate about the same amount. I'd love to say it works because we didn't gain weight but I don't have any scientific proof, especially since neither one of us lost weight either. I think we'll continue to take this product before any meal we feel might be high in carbs "just in case" it does work. It certainly doesn't hurt and it's fairly inexpensive. I'd recommend people at least give it a shot. I'm sure, as with most things, results will vary.

I prefer the capsules of the regular pills but these work just fine. Can't really tell a difference with absorbency though I'm sure there is a difference. For now, my preferred White kidney bean guys, although if you've never taken them before, reading up on the gastroenterological effects is suggested lol.
