A member asked:
Is there something to promote weight loss by blocking absorption in the small intestine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
White Kidney: bean is used as the basis of a product used to block absorption but I don't recommend it, especially as the only factor used. Please think holistically, see your doctor before choosing any weight loss program, and ask about a low carb higher protein food plan. Peace and good health.
