I suppose the ingredients is what matters though. Do you really see them working?

In the last 4+ weeks I've cheated pretty good(Pizza,Beer,fries, taco's,cake, cokies,candy..etc..,) but I try to take the carb blockers before I do... I haven't lost any weight and I've not gained any also
and I'm down a total of 38lbs from when I started in May..So yes I think they work but you've got to get back on the low carb diet the next day...

I thought I cheated, you went way out there. By the way, the only thing the blockers supposedly work on is starchy food, not sugars. That is what I based my experimentation on and found them to be less than reliable.

Yo, Bayrat
Thanks for the info. What's the name of these?
I'm going to China next spring and you know what they eat. Rice. I'm going to work in an orphanage for 10 days and wont feel right not eating what everybody else eats so I'm kinda concerned about gaining.

Natrol Carb Interceptor. Got them at GNC yesterday, but the jury is still out. I need to see what the weight is tomorrow, if it is stable then they did the job and perhaps I will still lose a few ounces next week..I'll let you know. Hmmmm...China sounds interesting, could be a good time.

Oh, I am going to have a very good time. I'm going to be in Langfang, right out side Beijing so I'll be able to see all the sites. But.... there's all that rice.
So let me know the results

I know about rice. I lived in Nicaragua for a year in 1994 and they eat lots of rice too. I learned to make it all kinds of different ways. Now I'm putting all those recipes to work in cauliflower, etc.
I thought I read on one of your posts that youweren't going to do carb blockers ever again. Did I read wrong?

cool

Sack time, take care Bette.

oK i read all threads and you have to understand something. its marketing mostly. low carb business is huge in my store we are 30,000 above last year sales all due to low carb, everyone out there is trying to make a buck. Ok on the flip side not all supplements are bad for you. I can't stand people who speak without knowlege first. the phase 2 has been studied. and I think it does work but not to cheat with junk. I would use to help break plateua, most supplements are safe. there is also another ing ou there that is good its banaba. In a product called sugar ease.

I just want something that will work for 10 days. I don't just want to eat whatever I want but out of necessity eat what I'm offered. I can't imagine that there will be very much protein or fat. In my experience in 3rd world settings they eat mostly rice and white flour, some vegetables and a little sweet stuff.

Anna,

Guess what, I did not hit the sack yet. Are you implying I am speaking without knowledge here and so you can't stand me? I simply conducted my own study and am giving results. I can also assure you that I have read the research on the internet and have not found a double blind study conducted on humans. If you have that link, please share it. On the flip side, I hope you are right.

Now I hit the sack!
