I haven't used them, but every time I see this question I find myself wondering why anyone would need them if they were already following a low carb plan?
From what I've seen, though, they generally don't work. Save the money that you would spend on starch blockers and get a nice steak and some fresh veggies instead.
I have a feeling that those starch blockers make a lot of claims that they can't deliver on. Really...if there were a magic pill that allowed folks to eat whatever they pleased and still lose weight that worked, wouldn't it be headline news across the nation?
