Any Atkins folks use carb blockers?

[dzneprincess]

If so can you tell me what your experience was with them?

 

[Rhonda]

If you're on Atkins, you don't need carb blockers, because you're not eating all those carbs that you need to block!

If I "cheat" and eat something with a lot of carbs one day, I just hit Induction for a couple of days, then things are back to normal.

Maybe somebody else has tried them, and can comment?

I've used the same theory as Rhonda. If carbs are bad for me, then I just don't eat them in mass quantities, therefore I don't have a need to use carb blockers.

Are you thinking of using them just when you want a treat or are you thinking about using them as part of a regular low-carb way of eating?

SHHHH...................if I want a "treat" LOL Who'da thunk Iwould consider a serving of rice a treat??

Like Rhonda, when I "cheat", I just super-behave for a few days and I'm fine. I visited my favorite Japanese restaurant with DD Sat and couldn't pass up the great sushi. This might not work for everyone, but it does for me.

OK Amanda, I gotta admit....the crack about the rice "treat" has me laughing out loud!!! Who else but a low-carber would understand???

LOL I know it! One would think that I would be missing my COKE and candies, but no! It is the rice, and bread that I miss the most! I LOVE LOVE LOVE rice. I think I could eat it everyday! That is what I miss the most BUT it is worth it.
