Lightbulb Carb and Fat Blockers: My Personal Experiment

I'm on Day 1 of an experiment to see if these Fat and Carb blockers work. I bought one that has what appears to be a standard list of ingredients for the over-the-counter version of this product. Hopefully this will save you all some time and money.
Here are my stats:
I'm 30 years old, 5'3", 150 pounds. I work out regularly and lift weights. The problem I have is that my diet falls apart after 7:00 at night. I eat dinner and can't stop munching. Despite pumping up my work outs to 5 days a week with 50 min to an hour of cardio-vascular with a few days of weights, I have had no weight loss (but I'm also not gaining).
I never used to be this big. I quit smoking about a year ago, and I have put on about 15 lbs since then.
So, here's my report for Day 1:
I took two pills 20 minutes before dinner last night and then did my usual munching. I have had no side effects. I was careful to choose a pill without caffeine, which I'm pretty sensetive to. I slept like a baby. The only noticeable effect happenend this morning. I'm not sure how to put this delicately....I guess I'll just say it. I pooped three times, but it wasn't urgent or uncomfortable, just a little soft. I have a sense now that I'm sort of "empty", which I take as a good sign. I'll report back in a couple days and let you know what's happening.
If anyone has any advice or commentary regarding the fat and carb blockers, I'd love to hear it.

I am myself waiting for an order i placed over the internet for phase 2 starch blockers..i am hoping that it comes today...from what i have read on here that seems to be the general consensus (increased "movement") and that doesnt seem like it would be a bad thing...i am not very regular anyway and it might be helpful to get things moving! sorry if this is gross.. I am hoping that they will help me out...i know that i have to make my own effort but a little help wouldnt hurt!! good luck and keep us posted!!

That's great! I saw the Starch blocker and it's practically the same thing as mine. Between us, we'll be able to determine if and how these things work. Be careful of the caffeine and other stimulants. I get little heart flutters from ephedra and too much caffeine, so I was careful to choose a product without those things. Just out of curiosity, how much weight are you trying to lose?
