Anyone use carb/fat blockers?

Techy · Dec 12, 2006

Just wondering if anyone here has used the carb/fat blockers. If so do they work? Synthetek has one that I am thinking about trying.

I don't but, my wife does use xenical which is the clinical fat blocker.

I buy it from online pharmacies for her, she isn't fat, but she likes how it makes her able to maintain her size.

You have to be careful though about how much fat you eat other wise....well use your own common sense.

Synthetek's carb/fat blocker says "It blocks carbs, it blocks fat and it helps you digest the protein. You can literally eat junk food and still be on a 'diet'! What more do you want??"
If this is true I'm going to stock up!!

This is the reality of it:

3 slices of dry toast are a low fat complex carb meal.
3 slices of toast with butter and jam are not a diet meal at all.
But you take 2 caps of SyntheBLOCKplus, it blocks enough of the sugars and fat to make those three slices of toast with jam and butter be the same as if they were dry toast.
Do you see what I mean? Its main use is if you have a craving.

Sure, you could have a Big Mac, but then you would have to swallow 1/2 bottle of the blocker.

Thanks for clarifying that Big A. It sounds like a great product. I'm going to order some today to try. This is exactly what I need b/c the hardest part for me is'nt the workout, it's the junk food cravings!!

I think the carb blockers do have merit and make difference. They come in handy for me,,,I tend to eat poorly while working and traveling.

Yeah that's my problem. Hard for me to eat right while at work. I hope Synthetek gets some back in stock soon.

anyone have some info on how these "blockers " work? I just dont understand how you can block a carb or fat from being absorbed and used in the body the way it is intended to? a study or an article would be great!

They attach themselves to the carbs/fats and don't allow them to be absorbed by the stomach, just passed through.
