to cut your sugar and/or alcohol cravings, try this:

A 500mg capsule of L-glutamine opened and poured under the tongue can cut sugar or alcohol cravings pretty quickly.

The carb blocker pills are based on weak science that HCA (hydroxycitric acid) alters the conversion of carbs. Something like that. It's all bunk.

The only way to not get carbs in your system is to not eat them.

-Well, I don't know who 'ZOUS' is... anyways, I didn't buy any pills ('carb-blockers'), I'm not stupid enough to. I dug up a little article on 'carb-blockers'- here are your answers as to why you shouldn't take them; they are worthless:

"There was an element of truth in these claims: a substance

called phaseolamin can be extracted from beans which, when

mixed in a test tube with amylase (the enzyme which normally

digests starch in the small bowel) inactivates the enzyme. The

untrue part was that by eating phaseolamin you could stop the

absorption of the calories in your diet. The reason is that

phaseolamin is itself a protein, so the protein-digesting enzymes

in the stomach break it up into amino acids. By the time it gets

into the small bowel, where starch digestion takes place, the

phaseolamin has itself been digested, and has no effect on

starch digestion. We showed this by feeding starch labelled with

heavy carbon to volunteers who took either "starch blocker" or

placebo capsules, and found that the rate at which the starch

was metabolised was unaffected by the "starch blocker"', and

other studies also confirmed that the in vitro effect was not

seen."
