Bars

[CambridgeKez]

My consultant has let me do SS with low carb bars (mint, peanut or cranberry) & 2 soups per day. I can't tolerate porridge or shakes due to milk content.
I've since read bars shouldn't be consumed in 1st 2 wks. Is this true? Will it hinder my weight loss. I really want to lose as much as I can ASAP.
I'm now on day 6. Loving the peanut bar & all soups.

Yes they say wait two weeks , but really your still going to lose weight . As long as its one bar a day , with 2 shakes under 5ft 8 .
I think if it helps why not , you will still get a great result !

Thx guys/gals. Just been to see CDC & she says that the crunchy bars are fine, they have same carb content as porridge, soup, shakes. The chewy have 10g more carb so mustn't be used before wk3. Yippee. I love the crunchy peanut bar. So much nicer than porridge. I pop it in my bag & have it with 2 coffees in day. Soup for brekky & tea.

I much prefer the crunchy ones anyway - glad it's working out for you x

I agree, you have to make it work for you. I can't eat CDP porridge, and can't face a shake for brekky, so I make my own porridge with oats and skimmed milk. Better than the alternative!
So I suppose i'm now on SS+
Keep up the good work all!!

PS.
I think that all CDCs are different in that they try and make it work for you....my CDC is flexible, better to be that way than have no successes...

What's the definition of a crunchy bar or a chewy bar? I always thought of them as the same! Must say I love all of them and I adore the mousse mix, that is my evening treat and seems very filling .....

Crunchy have same carb content as soups, shakes & porridge and come in mint choc, peanut & cranberry. All others are 10g higher carb content. X

I've not tried the bars yet as im only on week 2 but looking forward to giving them a go and chewing! Was going to stay away from them but most people say it hasn't effected their losses so I feel more confident now!

Enjoy. I take mine to work for lunch & litre of water to wash it down. Yum x
