Hi Nicola,

There is more carbohydrate in the bars than in the drinks and soups.

The extra carohydrate can cause fluid retention in some.

Eating more than one bar can cause a lot of gaz due to the complex carbohydrate.

I find if I make sure to drink water that I would normally use in a shake with my bar.

I was carb sensitive to them at the beginning but not now and I make sure to stick to one a day otherwise it will take me right out of ketosis.

Hope that helps.

Love Mini xxx

Hi Nicola

Like you I love the bars (not the peanut one though - don't eat peanuts). I had one every day while doing ss and they certainly didn't stop me losing weight. Anything that helps to keep you on track has to be good

I had one every day from Week 3 (I still have one a day just because I lurve 'em!)

As you know, I still lost weight using them as part of my SS plan - and so will you! You must remember to drink an extra 1/2 litre of water for each one you eat though (over and above the recommended 2.25 litres of course).

Glad you like them though - especially the Peanut Crunch. Yummy innit?

Thanks

Yes you can still have a mousse per day when you are having a bar

P.S. Cranberry is my fav!!

 

[Angiexx]

yes i like the cranberry one to very chewy as well and takes ages to eat which is good

Yep, loved the bars, malt toffee my favourite. I too had one a day all through SSing, definately helped keep me on track.

See how you get on with them, as some people are very sensitive to them.

I had a bar and a mousse every day (makes you feel like you're still eating, doesn't it?!) when I did Cambridge, and had no problems with weight loss. Obviously, if your losses slow down then you'll have to re-think, but i'm sure you'll be fine.

Bear in mind too, that the peanut and cranberry bars are different to the others - they're lower in carbs and contain no polyols (which is what can give you a bad tummy!). Also, it's worth remembering that the cranberry bars have less calories than the others, so are worth choosing if you like them!

Hi, I loved the bars esp the orange one, but they really set off cravings and kicked me out of ketosis . Doesn't seem to happen to many people, but there you go. MY CDC actually refused to sell them to me and I was so desperate that I threatened to buy them off ebay which she felt just proved her point that I shouldn't be eating them.

I'm in maintenance now, but still crave them. I know from sad experience that foods I crave when I'm not hungry are my carb addicted bodies way of trying to get its fix!

I had my 1st bar last week. The 1st one a tried was caramel then the cranberry one. I really really hated them. Didn’t like them at all.

Worst thing was that I was so so excited to tasting them and decided on having them late at nite as a treat with coffee. Im upset that I don’t like them coz lots of people say there really nice.

Im just going to stick with my tetra milkshakes as I really like them.
