Lol wait for it, there's going to be a lot of responses....0

I like them. They're not the best thing ever but they're convenient and pretty tasty so I give them a thumbs up. The chocolate chip cookie dough microwaved for a few seconds is delicious.0

Yes I eat them, love them. The new recipe of corn soluble fibre sucks for most of the bars, but I still enjoy the new recipe double chocolate chunk and mint chocolate chip. My favourites were cookie dough and cookies and cream but the new recipe gives them a terrible aftertaste, so I won't buy those anymore. However, Sometimes I can get my hands on boxes of the old recipe, those are always good days.

The words "corn soluble fiber" kind of freaks me out. What IS that!?!0
-
They used to be fantastic but are now disgusting. I used to eat up to 5 a day now I can't even stomach one since the change in formula.0
-
10 -15 seconds on high in the microwave and they are edible.
I am ok with certain flavors.0 -

http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/120913p32.shtmlSoluble Corn Fiber
Soluble corn fiber is produced through the enzymatic hydrolysis of cornstarch. It’s poorly digested in the small intestine but partially fermented by gut bacteria in the large intestine and exhibits the same physiological benefits of dietary fiber. It has a low viscosity, is water soluble, and is stable under heat, pH, and processing stresses.3
Evidence suggests that soluble corn fiber is well tolerated and has many of the same health benefits associated with intact dietary fiber found in grains, vegetables, legumes, and fruit. While high-fiber diets often are associated with GI discomfort, such as excessive gas production, studies have demonstrated that soluble corn fiber is well tolerated even at a high intake level of 65 g/day when given in multiple doses and is better tolerated than inulin, a naturally occurring fiber extracted from chicory root.3,4 Moreover, soluble corn fiber improves intestinal regularity4 and has prebiotic properties.3 When used in place of available carbohydrates, soluble corn fiber supports healthy blood glucose control by eliciting a lower glycemic response.5 It also may support bone health by increasing calcium absorption.3
Soluble corn fiber can be used in a wide variety of prepared foods, beverages, and condiments, including cereal, baked goods, candy, dairy products, frozen foods, soups, salad dressings, fruit drinks, carbonated beverages, meal replacement drinks, and flavored water. It can appear in product ingredient lists as soluble corn fiber, corn syrup, or corn syrup solids.30 -
One a day isn't bad as a supplement. I could never eat 5 per day.0

u used to eat like 3 a day on a restrictive 1500 calorie per day diet. I've since cut out all dairy (its extremely acidic to an adult human ) and eggs and I've lost 6 kilos eating now 2500 cals a day on a vegan diet
go check insta #whatveganseat #veganfoodporn #rawvegandesserts etc and have your mind blown -4 -
I had one the other night. Initially it was great, because I haven't had anything sweet in 3 days, but later on it didn't taste as great. I ended up only eating half.0

Yuck. More likely to blow chunks than blow my mind.0 -
I think the new formula is terrible. The bars all have an aftertaste that I just can't deal with. I've stopped buying them.0
-
The only ones i eat every once in a while is the chocolate chip cookie dough & smores.0
-
Didn't care for them. Prefer Pure Protein bars.0

Dairy isn't acidic to an adult human. The PH of milk is very close to neutral. Fruit is far more acidic... acidic food isn't a problem. If you weren't losing on 1500, you weren't eating 1500. If you're losing on 2500, you're either eating far less than you think or exercising a hell of a lot more. There are plenty of overweight vegans out there. Weight loss is down to calories, not what you eat to make up those calories.
Assuming of course that you're telling the truth, which I doubt because you sound like you're just trying to plug your instagram. I'm just correcting you in case any newbies stumble across this.
As for Quest bars... love them. Can't taste any difference between the old formula and new formula, personally.0 -

a type of corn that is fiber soluble0 -
I eat the cookie dough ones, I never tried old formulation so the new formulation is just something I'm used to - I find them pretty tasty.MarziPanda95 wrote: »Dairy isn't acidic to an adult human. The PH of milk is very close to neutral. Fruit is far more acidic... acidic food isn't a problem.
Yeah, milk has about the same acidity as some tap water, and less acidic than juice or coffee. And I agree acidity is not really a matter of concern - nothing you would drink is anywhere near as acidic as your stomach is, so basically any liquid you consume will reduce the acidity of your stomach (adding a weak acid to a strong acid will reduce, not increase, acidity).
Acidity can matter for your teeth, but nobody suggests milk is unhealthy for them.0 -
Yes one a day, just picked up a fresh box of s'mores yesterday.0

So you do 1000 calories a day more of activity? Because that's about the only reasonable way you're going to lose weight at the same rate you did eating 1500 cal / day if you've upped it to 2500 cal / day.0 -
Best ones I've found. They don't have that whey protien taste, no suagr which is extremely rare in protien bars, and good fiber. My favorite flavors are cookies and cream, chocolate mint, banana nut muffin, and cinnamon role.0

I find it funny that some vegans claim all animal products, including milk are acidic and pull calcium out of the bones to neutralize it. So... milk that has calcium in it, pulls calcium out of bones to neutralize calcium? Huh.0 -

High protein diets do that. Animal products are high in protein. Milk has 10g of protein per glass plus it's high in phosphorus so it's a poor source of calcium despite the dairy industry's propoganda. With all the meat and dairy we eat we should not have the highest rate of osteoporosis in the world, but we do.
Countries with the lowest rates don't consume half of the calcium we do.0 -
I love them. They keep me full. They help with sweet cravings. They are perfect as an afternoon snack or pre-workout.0

I used to try and force myself to eat one every other day or so as a snack while I was out and about - stomaching just one bite often proved really difficult, I can't stand the artificial taste and the flavour it leaves in your mouth. I recently threw out half a box because I just can't bring myself to eat them anymore. How people actually enjoy them is beyond me. Nutritionally they aren't bad, but you're really only getting protein and fibre out of them, so you shouldn't eat them as a meal replacement, and they should definitely only be used as a supplement and not a substitute because of this. But personally, I wouldn't bother with them at all.0

As for the new formula... Double chocolate chunk has a weird after taste now. CookiesNcream still taste the same to me as the old formula.0
-
I enjoy them. Especially heated up in the microwave. Double Chocolate Chunk, Pumpkin Pie, Cookie Dough, Cookies and Cream to name a few.0
-
Used to eat them a lot, now not so much, but they are still really good0
