Being a Type II diabetic, I have to be careful to watch the number of carbs in every meal but sometimes it is difficult when eating out at a restaurant or friend's house. These "Carb Blocker" pills do make a measurable impact on my blood sugar levels (as measured with my blood glucose testing meter) if I take them before a carb heavy meal, so I know that they work to limit\slow carb absorption. After some experimenting, it is difficult say just how much they help and it seems to vary by the type of carb (i.e. good on breads, not too much help on rice).
The recommended dose is two of these gel caps with your meal, but these are huge so most people will likely want to take them one at a time.
I liked these enough where this is my third order but, as another reviewer pointed out, I don't have a lot of confidence that using these without a proper diet and exercise program will make much of a difference in weight control.
Recommended! Oh, and for those going low carb I really highly recommended Dreamfields Spaghetti!

Let me start with what's mysteriously lacking from the product description, the AMOUNT of green tea extract is 400 mg (per two soft-gels). That was really annoying to not be able to find so hopefully that helps.
There's no shortage of information about green tea's benefits around so suffice it to say that if you have interest in anything from energy / metabolism to anti-cancer properties I suggest you check it out.
This is a more expensive source of green tea than some others but very high quality, and this source's price is quite good compared to much worse quality extracts at the supermarket.
I work out immediately after waking up at 6 AM so downing a couple of these with a glass of water is a great way to get moving.
