Default Carboburner

Hi! Has anybody else used or seen a product called "Carboburner"? I found it at RiteAid and it's supposed to help convert carbohydrates into energy. It's all natural and supposed to be a good supplement for a low-carbohydrate diet. I don't know if there is any connection, but I was finally able to get my scale to budge after being stuck for about two weeks....maybe a coincidence, maybe not.....

Any other comments out there on this product? Thanks!

I must admit...I also bought a carb burner...and I take it just before dinner...I also have started seeing the scale moving...and rather quickly for me. I don't know if I should actually be taking it, but I have not felt any adverse side affects...so I will continue to take it...but just the once a day.

Default Hey LIL

What is the brand name of the one you are taking? I saw a few of them recently and wondered about adding it too.

How much have you lost since taking it?

Thanks

The brand I take is a Jamison product...but I don't think you can get it in the states. I have lost 7.5 lbs since starting it...a couple weeks ago.

Thanks you so much for responding. I think I am going to get a carb-burner (even if it is different than the one you have) I feel like I need some help. lol!!!!

Congrats on the 7.5 pounds, that is so awesome. I notice your stats are really looking good. Keep it up. Hey, it may not be the pills it may just be the low-carbing who knows!!!!!!!!! What matters is you are doing great!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Shae, I saw them at the Superstore. Keep in mind however, that they may possibly work against you, as fatty acids are essential to weight loss, and there is no benefit from blocking them. To block fats, is the same as following low-fat and low-calorie diets, short term loss, then yo-you dieting. Just my $0.02 worth.

Wa'il

Hi Lil

I was wondering if you are still taking the Jamison carb blocker & how it is going for you?

Default BDK and Carb Burners

Hi! I'm the New Kid In Town And I have recently switched from the atkins diet to the calp (carb addicts lifespan plan) diet. However, I'm concerned. Will I still continue to lose without BDK? And what is a carb burner? Is it a carb blocker???? Like the ones with northern white kidney bean? :confused :

Default Jamison not a Carb BLOCKER

Hi y'all.

If I'm remembering correctly from when I checked the Ingredients List of the Jamison Slimdown products (two bottles in one box), there wasn't an actual Carb Blocker in there (no kidney bean extract, phaseolimin, etc.). It was mostly helpful nutritional supplements and a bit of fiber, I'm pretty sure.

If the plan you choose to use works for you (in losing bodyfat), these kinds of supplements will help, but they don't cause the weight loss, only ASSIST your metabolism in working properly as you metabolize the bodyfat.

Hope this helps!
