Just put an order in on the low carb megastore site and came across this :

Absolute Nutrition C Block - 90 Tablets | Low Carb Megastore

Has anyone tried this?

Also, I vaguelly remember someone asking where you could buy Splenda sachets from :

Splenda - 100 sachets | Low Carb Megastore

what is it?

"C block is designed to help you rid yourself of unwanted carbohydrates. 2 tablets taken 15 mins before meals blocks up to 35g grams Carbs. (1 tablet 17.5g)
Phaseous Vulgaris is an extract of the Northern White Kidney Bean. In clinical studies it has been shown to clearly inhibit the production and activity of alpha amylase, the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of starch into sugar. Human studies show that Phaseous Vulgaris can effectively inhibit intestinal amylase activity, thereby preventing dietary starch digestion and the corresponding after-meal rise in insulin concentration. Phaseous Vulgaris attaches to the carbohydrate molecule at precisely the point at which alpha-amylase normally would split the compound to yield dextrins. The complex carbohydrate is not broken down into absorbable sugars and simply passes out of the body undigested"

LOL somehow I don't think it's that easy - but nice to dream (I have mince pies on the brain, can you tell?)

Just did a google to see if I could find any opinions on it, which seem few and far between and mostly from the early noughties.

I'd be sceptical of their effectiveness!

MINCE PIES ARE WRONG!

 

[ladyfelsham]

I know I know - but I can't help it

 

[LVLLM]

[ladyfelsham]
