Just wondering if anyone who has gone on a low carb diet or have just added this to there diet. If so, what is your experience with it?
Why? If you want to go low carb or ketogenic then simply avoid carbs.
I've never taken one, but the side effects are awful. I'm not dealing with gas and diarrhea just to have a bowl of pasta. I'll put an hour in on the treadmill everyday rather than risk sharting myself at work.
Some people use anything that has white kidney bean extract, which has some effect in blocking starch absorption. Cinnamon is used by diabetics pretty frequently.
The thing about these things is at best they'll blunt the effects of carbohydrate consumption, they by no means stop them. They're not like taking gluco p h a ge (remove spaces) or anything.
As for consuming the things you love. There's an easier way to do it. Pick a day out of the week, consume them then, do an intermittent fast after. Same results (or better) without spending the $$.
It doesn't need to be relegated to a single meal. But that's not a bad idea.
