Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 I first read about these in Fran McCollough's (I'm not sure of the spelling) second book " Living Low Carb. " She said she spent some time in Italy and took a carb blocker on the trip. I think she was there a month and only gained four pounds eating bread and pasta. I bought some by Universal Nutrition/Doctor's Diet. I took them over the New Year when my dh and I took a road trip out east. I didn't gain any weight and I cheated at my sister's house. However, I tried them this past Saturday at a Thai restaurant. I ended up gaining two pounds that are still with me. Granted, it was the biggest cheat I've had at one sitting. Maybe I needed to take more than four tablets. I'm still not sure if they work for me. Maybe I just got lucky on my vacation. One thing is for sure -- no more Thai food for a very long time! The ingredients looked similar although not exactly the same. Their price is much higher. I think it was $19.95 for 30 tablets. How many do you take at once? I bought mine from netrition.com. The bottle says to take two tablets at a time. I paid around $40 for 120 tablets. > I saw this on TV....what do you guys think of it? > > http://carbfighter.com > > It claims to ABSORB carbohydrates.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 It's from Universal Nutrition called Doctor's Diet Carb Block. However, I can't recommend it one way or another.
