My take on Carb Blockers and Fat Blockers, etc. is DON'T. Snake oil, in my opinion.

Why not just block the carbs before they enter your mouth?

PS: DH is fine. He was just sore yesterday. Today our big chore is to hang an overhead light. We bought it the same weekend we got the car (yes, it has been a month). We took the other light down right away, and then found out the screws were too short for the new light. So I bought new ones, and then they're too long. I feel like Goldilocks here. So either DH has to cut these off or I have to scout out ones right in between (which the hardware store were out of). Why isn't anything ever easy?
