CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Carb overload opportunities are everywhere, especially during seasonal holidays. However, cutting carbs doesn't have to mean shying away from gatherings where breads, rice, pasta, pastries, and other starch-heavy foods might tempt you to break your diet. Natrol, Inc. -- a premier marketer, manufacturer, and distributor of nationally branded nutritional products -- offers the following tips for avoiding carb-related weight gain:

Natrol ® Carb Intercept ® contains Phase  2 ® Carb Controller, a proprietary white bean extract. Each Natrol ® Carb Intercept ® serving provides 1,000mg of Phase  2 ® Carb Controller to neutralize carbohydrates. In addition, the new-and-improved Natrol ® Carb Intercept ® includes Foodbound™ Chromium, providing 40mcg of Chromium to help metabolize fats and proteins for energy, so consumers can still enjoy their favorite foods.†

"Natrol ® Carb Intercept ® has received testimonials from consumers, as well as positive feedback from health care professionals, media, retailers, and other members of our industry," says Dr. Michael T. Yatcilla, Natrol's Research and Development VP.†

A natural product, Natrol ® Carb Intercept ®, used in conjunction with a healthy calorie reduction and exercise program, can support weight loss and a low-carb lifestyle. For optimal effect, two capsules should be taken with a glass of water immediately before each starch-containing meal (not to exceed ten capsules daily).†

Natrol ® Carb Intercept ® is sold in quantities of 30, 60, and 120 capsules (average U.S. SRP is $13.49, $22.99, and $34.49 respectively). For more information or a $2-off discount coupon, go to http://www.natrol.com/coupons/CarbInt_2OFF_Online_Coupon.pdf.
