you guys are great (yeah, i have a question, too :)

Kit, , Sara, others,

First, I'm SO impressed with your patience and information! I've

subscribed to tons of listservs for all kinds of different topics, and I

can tell you that on only my second day of this one, it far surpasses the

others. Thank you a thousand times over!

With that said, I'm going to pick your brain another time: it's in regards

to meal-replacement bars. A few years ago when I was a college freshman, I

was successful doing the Zone. I ALSO incorporated weight training (though

not BFL method) into it, which I'm sure added to my success. Anyway, most

Zone-hardcores swore by the Zone bars and pretty much said that nothing

else would do (Balance bar, etc).

So, you ask, how does this relate to BFL? Basically, I'm asking the same

question, different program:

can I sub bars? Even though I'm now in the real world and make money , I

still try to be frugal. I have to admit: the 99-cent price tag on Balance

bars is appealing versus $1.50 or sometimes more for an EAS bar.

Have any of you BFL vets tried other bars and not found a HUGE impact on

your system?

I realize that for the most success on BFL, I should follow

as much to a " T " as possible. But would it really set me back to use

Balance bars or something else you recommend instead?

Thanks for the inspiration. Because of this board, I actually want to

stick with it! You guys rock!
