Hey, has anyone tried those starch blocker pills? I remember reading in the paper recently that they actually do work. They block some enzyme in the small intestine which would normally break down starch into sugar. So the starch gets passed through as if it were fiber. The article said they block up to 2/3 the ingested starch this way.

Yeah, here's the article I was thinking of.

One of the FReepers works in a pharmacy and swears by Atkins and Starch Blockers for cravings.
