Carb/Fat Blockers

Anyways at my gym and work there has been a lot of talk about "Carb Blockers" and "Fat blockers" I've seen them advertised as well and was wondering if they truly work or is it another scam? Has anyone tryed them out? Any input would be great. Thanks in advance

There are several products out there such as Hydroxycut, Xenadrine, etc. that have research behind them. Stick with one of these, develop a good low-fat diet and cardio exercises, and you'll be fine! Good luck and welcome to ft!
