Dear @Keep_on_cardio , @Cowsfan1 , Sarcasm and Kisses, oocdc2

I could go into a hyperglycemic coma if I eat these. It might be worth it.

A coworker and I swap protein bars in the interest of discovery. I just ordered the Built Bar sample pack, and we're splitting one each day to taste test. We'll post the results when completed. Even the chocolate mint one, though I'm not looking forward to that one anymore... :s

I didn't make this, and I can't remember who did, but it's pretty good.

Congrats on deciding to change your lifestyle and begin this work! I'm sure others will chime in, but here are some things I've experienced along the way: 1. This a journey, not a race. It took me a year and a half to lose 80 lbs. at 1lb/week. During that time... 2. Sometimes I lost 1 pound/week, sometimes 3 pounds/week,…

I had to pause and make sure it wasn't April 1st...

I'm 46 now, started at over 200 lbs. in 2015, I'm now 135-ish lbs. and have been for two years. Once I started logging everything and doing what MFP told me to do to lose 1 pound/week, it was actually easy, with nary a vegetable or exercise during that 1st year and a half. What I have found difficult is the maintenance,…

Vanilla Caramel Crème syrup is the best ever for an old fashioned (bourbon, simple syrup, bitters).

Intriguing, though I can't find anyone who has them. I'll be super impressed if someone here has!

...Yes?

This is a foodie forum. Even if you're like me that most of the stuff posted has too much sugar to be considered for consumption, window shopping is fun.

It's amazing what can happen when a person gets the right help :) . Kudos on doing what's best for you, and we'll be looking forward to your reviews again soon!

I'm 5'3", around 130 - 135 lbs. I eat 1400/day + 70% of my exercise calories, and for the past two years I seemed to maintain pretty well. I'm also 45 years old, so I may have to eat less than someone younger...

I'm pretty sure there's some sort of negative karmic consequences every time a FitCrunch bar is eaten--like, a fairy dies or something. I don't know how they make them so good yet not a million calories. Which big box store? $1/bar is pretty good!

Bump--this should be on the FAQ; very comprehensive!

What @kommodevaran said: If you're prediabetic or diabetic, or have a family history of diabetes, sugar is sugar and it's all relevant. If your body metabolizes sugar just fine, and it looks like that's going to be true in your future, you can concentrate on other things.
