Slim-Fast Meets Atkins
By legbamel on
When choosing meal replacement bars, weight loss programs force you to choose between candy-bar-like options.They seem to think that people only miss sweets when dieting and that replacing your lunch with a "chocolate" coated crisped rice bar will satisfy.
For those of you who, like me, prefer to eat something that makes you feel like you've eaten lunch, Slim-Fast has a line of high-protein bars.While most of them are the same sort of candy bar substitutes, the peanut butter granola version makes a definite improvement.
The bars taste like peanut butter and the high protein levels make you feel full longer.Add a piece of fruit or a small salad to round out the meal.You'll fees like you ate lunch rather than having a sweet but unsatisfying snack.If you feel full you will be less tempted to snack in the afternoon.
Slim-Fast's high-protein bars make sticking to their plans much easier.You get five bars in a box, instead of six with the regular meal replacement bars, but they are worth the small increase in price.
I may have to try these; do they come in other flavors? I watch my sugar/carb intake, so I try to get bars with more protein in them because they don't have as much of an effect on blood sugar levels. Thanks for sharing!
They do come in several flavors but most have the "chocolate" coating or chocolate chips in them. If you like those, too, you'll have a lot more options!
Being a low carber I've used these as a quick lunch if I don't have time to run out or have time to pack lunch in the morning. Thanks for sharing!
I need to try this. I am suppost to be on a low carb diet/lifestyle so this would be something I should try. Thanks for sharing this information with us.
