  • I passed on buying some Cliff bars the other day because of that very reason (sugar and carbs). Ended up getting some Premier Protein bars from Sam's Club. I've only tried one flavor (Chocolate Peanut Butter) and I thought it was pretty good.
  • It's usually always my face and then my chest/stomach and it always seems to be noticed after about 10-15 pounds.
  • Yep, they are subtracting out the glycerine as well since they don't consider it a sugar alcohol. It would make more sense if they broke it out and showed you how much glycerine was being subtracted like they do with Fiber and Sugar Alcohols.

  • I was (still am to an extent) a big proponent of the low carb lifestyle if done correctly. Note I didn't call it a diet because if you treat it like a diet you are setting yourself up to eventually fail. I feel great when I've been on it awhile but it's just not something I'm able to stick to long term. Because of that…
