Question for a CDC - re bars

Hi

I know you cant have any meal bars in the first two weeks - why is that?

You can on slim and save and from looking at the nutrition on the plans etc they seem very similar....

Not a cdc but the reason why most consultants won't give bars or water flavourings in first 2 weeks is they are slightly higher in carbs and they like to make sure the person is firmly in ketosis before introducing bars incase the person is carb sensitive unlikey to but may knock you out of ketosis or take longer to get in to.

2nd reason is complete break from food like products as sometimes chewing on a bar may make someone have food thoughts.

But saying that some consultants say you can have them from day 1 so just depends on consultant and you.
