Carb-Ease TM Review

Carb-Ease TM
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Yes, I'm a carb and sugar lover. Can't go a week without speghetti and mac and cheese. I love French Vanilla ice cream and oreos and I'll crave a Pepsi or a Coke too. I thought buying a carb controller would help me, but I needed something that would help control the sugar as well. This product has everything.
I do like it and I recommend it, but it appears to me that it doesn't necessarily cause weight loss, but it has prevented me from gaining weight when I go on one of my carb binges. I'm happy about that and will always keep a bottle on hand for that reason.
I must warn you though. The directions say to take 3 of these with meals. The first day I did that I had horrible gas all day. I didn't want to have to stop taking it so I lowered my dose to 2 pills with each carb meal and that actually did the trick. I actually watch my carb intake, my calories, and my fat, but now I can have my carb and eat it too.

Carb-Ease® supplement helps prevent the breakdown of carbohydrates by inhibiting the digestive enzymes used to break them down.* The body must break down starches and other complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides) into smaller, more usable forms (monosaccharides). Once broken down, the simple glucose molecules can then be transported across the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. Carb-Ease contains herbal extracts and other ingredients such as L-arabinose that help inhibit the breakdown of selected complex carbohydrate molecules so that the body is less likely to absorb them.* Furthermore, Carb-Ease contains additional ingredients, including dry bean extract and gymnema, that help reduce your cravings for sweets and helps inhibit the absorption of some carbohydrates before they can be stored.* Carb-Ease helps maintain your weight and blood glucose levels already in the normal range by reducing the negative effects of excessive carbohydrate consumption.* Works great in combination with a Metabolic Nutrition System (MNS®).Is this you?Someone who has trouble resisting sugary, starchy foods like sweets, white or refined pastas and breadsSomeone looking to control the results of a high-carbohydrate dietSomeone looking for better weight managementSomeone concerned with maintaining glucose levels already within the normal range

EatSmart Precision Pro - Multifunction Digital Kitchen Scale w/ Extra Large LCD and 11 Lb. Capacity Review

I would prefer to write this review after some time has passed, but I want to make sure I get my thoughts out here early on.
This is my third kitchen scale. I bake all my own bread at home and good baking requires weighing the ingredients rather than volume measuring.
This scale feels very light which made me nervous at first, but I've used it for three weeks now, through a lot of baking over the holidays, and my concerns seem out of line.
This scale fits all my needs. Here is what I look for:
1. CAPACITY - AT LEAST 10 LB (this has 11 lb, or 5 kg). This is required to be able to tare out a glass bowl which can weigh near 5 lbs empty. 11 lb is still borderline when I'm making bread in a 6 qt kitchenaid bowl, but I just weigh ingredients separately in another bowl if it becomes a problem.
2. PRECISION - DOWN TO 1 GRAM - Another scale I have was only good to 5 grams and, although this was probably good enough, it drove me nuts not to be able to go down to 1 gram
3. STABLE PLATFORM FOR VESSELS -- My previous scale had a platform that sat on top of a pillar and eventually came detached. After that it was a balancing act to weight anything
4. ORDINARY BATTERIES -- I liked my old scales fine, but it drove me crazy that I had to keep buying overpriced CR2032 batteries for the things. These batteries don't last long and cost too much to replace. I can't figure out why they use these "button batteries" rather than the more common higher capacity AAA, AA, C, D, etc cells. It's not like these scales are micro-sized. In any event A BIG BIG PLUS for this scale is that it uses standard batteries! Don't sell this point short.
5. PRICE -- $50, $30, $70 for a scale to do this is crazy. the circuitry in these things is cheap. It's not rocket science. All these scales that have "features" are a waste of money. This scale does what needs to be done for $20.
6. FEATURES -- Zero the scale, read negative numbers, switch between metric and English weights, tare a bowl....that's it...that's all you need. All the rest of it is a waste of money and a further chance for failure. this does what is needed and no more.
7. EASY TO READ -- big numbers. this scale is good....Not so good about this scale (and the ONLY problem I have so far) is that big bowls tend to cover the read out a little and make it hard to pick up the weight. So far it hasn't been a big deal, but it can be a slight annoyance.
BOTTOM LINE:
This scale gets 100% on items 1-6 and about 50% on item 7 for a 93% grade overall...enough for me to give it 5 out of 5 stars.
The only remaining unrated item is DURABILITY....I'll report back in a year. My old, $50 scale only lasted 3.5 years. I'm betting this one goes at least that long...plus I won't be forking over for new button batteries every month and a half.
