Yummy bars

[Guest guest]

Ok, I went to GNC today cause I was out of my Myoplex Lite bars. The only kind I like are the Raspberry Frost - the rest taste like metal to me. So, I happened to mention this to the rather handsome man behind the counter. He agrees, and tells me about these other bars that are similar, but have texture - TEXTURE? Wow...I gotta try that. They are Zone Bars (Barry Sears, et. al) with comparable calories, a bit more fat, and a lot more vitamins, than the Myoplex. They were fantastic! CRUNCHY! I bought a box of the Strawberry Yogurt. Just thought I'd share.

I tend to think the Zone diet has a lot going for it, actually.

Certainly some resources outside of BFL can be used for BFL. For

example, Hussman suggests cutting back a bit on the carbs in order to

emphasize fat loss, so what I might do is have an Atkins diet shake

for the last meal of the day (or perhaps a double scoop of protein

powder [310 calories] with 2 cups water).

Cheers,

Actually, I think the zone way of eating and the BFL way are pretty much the

same. With the sone it helps you understand scientifically what occurs

within your body and how important it is to complement protein with the

right kind of carbs and fats for health and fat burning. It's good to hear

other peoples views on the zone. I like it.

A lot of times at work, I'll have some type of hi-protein, low carb bar (or

portion

of it) and a 1/2 bagel, piece of fruit, yougurt, etc. This way, I'm assured of

getting equal cards/protein and still get to eat real food.

I just found a high-protein, low-carb pre-mixed drink at Wally world. So, I'll

see how that tastes. That can replace the bars.

I try to avoid EAS bars as they have a high sugar content (per the label).

My favorite bar is called the " Better Bar " . It's pretty equal in carbs/protein

and

is very yummy. it even has bits of Pecans in the pecan ones. (It's also pretty

low in fat, so it's legal<g>). I get these at GNC and would highly recommend

them to anyone that wants a decent, balanced bar. There are a lot of bars out

there which overload on carbs, and I'm trying to lose fat and weight, so I lean

toward more protein like Hussman recommends.

Not all of the EAS bars have high sugar. Both the Simply Protein and Low Carb

Myoplex bars are pretty low in sugar, in the neighborhood of 3 grams, IIRC.

Yeah, you're right, Pamela. In BFL, the ratio of protein:carbs:fat

is 40:40:20, while in the Zone it's 30:40:30. I often hear people

call the Zone a " high-protein, low-carb diet, " but it's not!
