Renee Zellweger fattened up on carbs to achieve her character's "voluptuousness" in Bridget Jones's Diary. Not able to beef up her body mass through salty foods like potato chips and other junk food fast enough for the requirements of her shooting schedule, she gobbled up dozens and dozens of donuts to become Bridget - the one whose "legs reach up to only here," and "who will always be a little fat." So, it makes sense for people who don't want to be always "a little fat" to run away from carbs as far away as they can.

For many people on a diet, carbohydrates are the enemy. But then, truth to tell, we all love our carbs. Pasta, potatoes, rice, and noodles all these are staple foods for most peoples of different countries and are an essential part of our daily diet. Only the thought of an extra pound of fat, an extra sag to our droopy bellies and more cellulites (all very Hollywood concerns, really, but very real, for those on a diet for either vanity or health reasons, as well as for professional bodybuilders) that deters us from indulging ourselves and renouncing our love for carbs. So, how do you achieve fat loss without giving up the carbs?

Now mere mortals like us do not have to deprive ourselves of life's little pleasures, including carbo-rich foods. A fat loss supplement that blocks the negative effects of carbo-loading is fortunately available in the market. Absolute Nutrition C-Block inhibits the digestive enzyme called "alpha-amylaze" an enzyme that is the last step for breaking down carbohydrates.

By doing this, Absolute Nutrition C-Block prevents the conversion of the carbohydrates that we gobble up into glucose or sugar. Fat is stored in our bodies when carbohydrates is transformed into sugar. Absolute Nutrition C-Block prevents the absorption of part of the carbs we consume everyday, thus doing away with the calories and sugar connected with those carbohydrates. With Absolute Nutrition C-Block, carbs that used to be stored as fats are flushed out of the body minus the detrimental side effects. What's more, C-Block is free of ephedrine (The US-FDA prohibited component of some dietary supplements), it is caffeine-free and stimulant-free.

Phaseolamine is Absolute Nutrition C-Block's active ingredient trademarked as Trim Plex or Phaseolus Vulgaris: It is the "processed extract of the northern white kidney bean," said to be an all-natural compound. It also contains the compounds "chromium" and "vanadium," both said to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Weight loss requires stable blood sugar levels because chronically high insulin levels result in a remarkable "repartitioning of macronutrients" such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into stored fats or "adipose tissue."

Taken properly (that is, 1-2 tablets 15 minutes before each meal with a full glass of water), this fat loss supplement has the potential to block up to 35 grams of unwanted starches per meal. Thirty-five grams of starch is roughly equivalent in size to a medium potato. Thus, we don't have to cut down on our carbs to achieve a toned body and less body mass. All we need to do is add to our shopping list that fat loss supplement product called Absolute Nutrition C-Block.

Though everyone, from our family physician to personal trainer would agree that proper diet and regular exercise are still the best way to lose our unwanted fat and to attain the best shape that we could be in, it doesn't hurt to help our weight loss targets by taking dietary supplements like Absolute Nutrition C-Block. Nevertheless, as in most weight loss programs, it is best to consult a doctor first before taking any fat loss and dietary supplements.

So here's an additional item on Bridget's "To do" List: Stock up on Absolute Nutrition C-Block.
