I believe the general concensus is that they're a bunch of hooey!! You've got better things to waste your money on, don't you?

they can be effective, but usually only for one large meal per day. Their claim is not to actually 'block' carbohydrates but to prevent them from being converted into glucose and taken up by your blood, it tries to do this by binding to and inhibiting an enzyme that is necessary in carbohydrate conversion to glucose.

Test tube results have proven sucessful, however when tested by humans, it only seems to work to block carbs once in a (day/couple of days?) I'm not sure about how long it's ineffective after the first use before you can use it again.

I found it 'greatly' helped when I used to cheat by eating something I shouldn't have, I would take 3 of the carb blockers pills, and some ALA, and would gain no weight and retain no water.

Again this only happened ( before I learned to control my cravings ) once or twice a week.
