Let’s learn more about this well-known carb blocking ingredient called white kidney bean


 
What is white kidney bean?
White kidney beans have been cultivated and enjoyed for centuries, earning a place as a staple item in kitchen pantries around the world. Also known as cannellini beans or Phaseolus vulgaris, they are a member of the legume family – the same family as peanuts and soya beans.
With their firm white-cream skin and mild yet nutty flavour, white kidney beans are a versatile ingredient in a variety of traditional dishes and are prized for their high nutritional value. In addition to their delicious taste and culinary versatility, white kidney beans have been found to offer numerous health benefits, which includes aiding in weight loss.
Benefits of white kidney beans
White kidney beans contain a high level of alpha-amylase inhibitors (α-amylase inhibitors)1, which have been shown to be an effective natural carbohydrate blocker, making them a popular ingredient in weight loss supplements. Here are several ways white kidney beans can promote weight loss:

1. Block carb absorption
Several studies have proven that taking a white kidney bean extract supplement before a meal can significantly reduce carbohydrate absorption2. White kidney beans contain protein that blocks alpha-amylase enzyme, which acts as a carbohydrate absorption blocker3. As a result, some of the carbohydrates from the meal are left undigested in the digestive tract rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream, which would contribute to an increase in calorie intake.

2. Suppress appetite
White kidney beans contain phytohemagglutinin which binds to the inner surface of the small intestine. This triggers the release of the hormones that promote satiety (cholecystokinin and glucagon) and prevents the production of the hormone causing hunger (ghrelin), thus suppressing appetite4
This process triggers the release of short-chain fatty acids, which then travel to the brain through the bloodstream, promoting the release of hormones that induce feelings of fullness and satiety5. This can lead to a reduction in appetite and calorie intake, which can contribute to weight loss over time.

3. Promote blood sugar control
White kidney beans can aid in weight loss by regulating blood sugar levels, thanks to their low glycaemic index. The glycaemic index measures how quickly carbohydrates are absorbed into the bloodstream and how they affect blood sugar levels. Foods with a high glycaemic index, are rapidly digested and cause substantial fluctuations in blood sugar which can lead to overeating and weight gain6

White kidney beans are a highly nutritious and versatile food that can aid in weight loss by blocking carbohydrate absorption, suppressing appetite, and promoting blood sugar control. By incorporating more white kidney beans into your diet, you can reduce your overall calorie intake, regulate blood sugar levels, and feel fuller for longer periods of time. So, why not add some delicious white kidney beans to your next dish and see the difference for yourself?

In a 2011 study, researchers found that white kidney bean extract has the potential to reduce blood sugar spikes by decreasing carbohydrate absorption, thereby reducing the glycaemic effect7. This means that white kidney bean extract may prevent increases in blood insulin levels, reducing the risk of insulin resistance.
