Natrol Offers Holiday Diet Tips, Carb-Cutting Tricks For Weight Control

Carb-Control Supplements Like Natrol® Carb Intercept® Can Help Take The Guilt
Out Of Eating Starch-Heavy Meals †
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:

* Eat Pre-Event: Eat some healthy snacks before going to an event where food is
being served. You'll be less likely to indulge in carb-laden foods if you're not
starving when you arrive at your event. Also, keep healthful foods in your
refrigerator at home, as well as at work, to avoid spontaneous snacking on carbs
and sweets; 
* Plan Your Plate: At a party or buffet, take a look at all the foods offered
before loading up your plate. Then make a choice. Pick one item to indulge in,
and only allow yourself to do so after you've eaten some of the healthier
selections; 
* Use Effective Aids: If you have trouble sticking to a low-carb diet, you might
try an affordable carb-control supplement such as Natrol® Carb Intercept®, which
is meant to be used as part of a reduced-calorie diet plan to help you safely
lose weight without counting carbohydrates. Natrol® Carb Intercept® helps
neutralize carbs found in breads, cereals, rice, pasta, and other
starch-containing foods, and it helps metabolize fat…all without causing the
nervous energy associated with some diet pills; 
* Know The Enemy: Watch out for foods containing "hidden" carbs. They can
include processed cheese, certain deli meats that are made with fillers, and
dishes made with honey. A number of cocktails can also contain carbs, especially
drinks made with a fruit-juice-concentrate mixer; and, 
* Hydrate Healthily: Drinking water or green tea when dessert is offered could
help you keep to your diet. Also try staying active at a party. Stand, don't
sit, and walk around the room when a craving hits, or even take a spin on the
dance floor if that's an option.†

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

Plot exposes fissure in U.S. intelligence community

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Last week's failed plot to bomb a U.S. passenger jet has exposed lingering fissures within the U.S. intelligence community, which had information from interviews and clandestine intercepts but did not put the pieces together, officials said.
