Is carb blocker worth it?
 

Those of you with experience with this product--worth it? How have you used it and gotten away with it? Holidays only??

I've never tried it but was wondering the same thing with the holidays coming up.

I bought the fat/carb blocker yesterday and used it before my Mexican fiesta! The way it works is that you replace it with your 2 oil pills at dinner (b/c the fat/carb blocker can't distinguish between good fats/bad fats). You take 2 right before your meal. It binds with 55 grams of fat/carbs. Your urine/bowel movement can be oily (that's what I was told). I haven't experienced anything like that. I asked if it would make me have to run to the bathroom or anything and they said no....it just binds with the fat/carbs and then your body would get rid of it. I had ZERO negative effects. I also have a lunch meeting w/a friend tomorrow at a Mexican restaurant and I'll be taking them again for that but I'll make sure I won't have any margaritas and I'll make better choices....prob a grilled chicken salad vs the margaritas and fajitas I had last night ;) I'll let y'all know how it work after I WI next Saturday :)

Hello shopgirl,
I have been wondering about this too. I thought with the holidays, I could use it. I was wondering if this would compare any to Alli? Let me know how your weigh in goes after you use it.

Ahhhh... good to know about this! They forgot to mention that at my center. I sure hope that taking it with the oils doesn't interfere much. Thanks for the info!

Which one did you buy?

I've been browsing website looking for one with rave reviews and have seen one or two brands that I may want to try, but I didn't know that oily excrement would be a side effect. Do all carb blockers have this effect?

I've used the MRC fat/carb blocker before never was told about any side effects and never had any. I was told 2 only use it occassionally to go off plan. Take 30 mins. before meal

What are the oil pills??? I am so confused!!

I think that's the Flax or Fish oil
