Diet supplements often contain
Phaseolus as a "carb blocker"
Many studies have shown that White Kidney Bean reduces the rate at which starchy foods like pasta and bread are converted into sugar. Phaseolus vulgarisis an inhibitor of alpha-amylase, an enzyme that promotes the breakdown of starch in the human gastrointestinal tract. Ingestion of this inhibitor reduces the digestion of starch in foods so the less sugars are absorbed as fat cells for future use. |

Wikipedia
Phaseolus vulgaris
The common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, is an herbaceous annual plant domesticated independently in ancient Mesoamerica and the Andes, and now grown worldwide for its edible bean, popular both dry and as a green bean. The leaf is occasionally used as a leaf vegetable, and the straw is used for fodder. Botanically, the common bean is classified as a dicotyledon. Beans, squash and maize comprised the "Three sisters" that provided the foundation of Native American agriculture. As a legume, beans provided the nitrogen-fixing bacteria which supplied that essential nutrient to the other two crops.
