Re: I need your feedback!!!

[Guest guest]

I made them like the second recipe you gave. Well, you SAID fudge- so the first

time I tried them I was a little disappointed BUT then I tried them the next day

and they are really GOOD! The thing I really liked about them is that they were

an easy way to get my protein in. I usually get in two shakes but I want to get

three in so I grabbed two 1/2 bars at different times during the day and Walla!

2 shakes and 1 food bar ( that I absorb) SWEET! Thanks so much for sharing it

with us!!!

OK I am dying to know how you all liked the homemade protein bars

recipe that I posted here and emailed to over 300 of you fine

folks! :-) I am of the opinion that they are the most heavenly,

totally divine thing that I have ever eaten that contains protein!

What did you all think?

Hmmmm - Mulloy - the protein that comes in our drinks is really only at it's

top form for about 30 minutes after making it. It loses potency, even if

frozen, so don't count on the protein powder in your bars for your usable

protein. These bars are an acceptable form of candy, nice for a treat, but

not a substitute for protein drinks.

I really love the texture, but need to try a different protein. I

tried PWS, but it has a bitter aftertaste I just can't get past. I

loved it when I used to use milk, but now it just doesn't work for

me. Did anyone else make them with PS100?

I'm also going to try adding some ground flaxseed. It will help me

to add the health benefits along with some fiber and texture.

Thanks so much, Kricket. These have replaced my other, less healthy,

small meals and have helped to break my latest plateau - I'm now in

the Century Club!!

Thanks for your post. I was concerned about that myself at first. So, I had

posted vitalady to ask about the freezing part- maybe I misunderstood- but I

thought she said actually you could freeze it. Is this not true?? I definately

want to do it right!!! Thanks for your help

Hey all! Guess what I discovered when I went to purchase this book? If you're

a new customer and you agree to get their e-mail ad that comes about once a

week, then they give you $5.00 off your first order. That makes the book

$7.59-- what a bargain!! Can't wait to add this to my cookbook collection!!

I noticed one there that really caught my eye. I think it is

called " The low carb comfort foods cookbook " ...I'm gonna add that

one to my collection soon.

I find it entirely weird now how much I LOVE to cook. LOL I wasn't

like that pre op! I think for me it is because cooking sort

of " allows " me to continue my fascination with food, while I don't

indulge in the goodies I have been making. I kinda though that my

husband might be gaining weight (he's average weight) with all my

cooking, but I must be finally getting him to eat more nutritiously

(if that's a word) cause he's lost 7 lbs!!! And the man STUFFS

himself! He's 6'4 " and 213...like I said he is very average size

wise.

I totally understand the cooking part. As a new post-op, that was one of my

concerns before the surgery- that I would lose that desire to cook(I've always

loved it). But it really hasn't been that way- its just changed. My husband

recently found out he has diabetes- so he too needs the low carb. The whole

family benefits!!

I mixed up sort of a " mini batch " of these to test them out and

thought they were fantastic! But, given all of the butter and cream

cheese I was afraid that they'd slow down or stop my ever-slowing

weight loss. Having said that, I'm going to reconsider now after

seeing your great stats! Do you have one every day? Do you know how

many calories are in them? I'd love to be able to indulge in one of

these when the mood strikes.

Thanks,

Hello,

No, I have no idea about the calories. I wish I knew but that wasn't

listed in the book. I was thinking about that too initially. To be

honest, I don't count calories. I have been having one of the bars

for breakfast with a piece of string cheese.

I've made 5 batches of them since I first posted about them. (4 with

Choc Stack and 1 with Vanilla PS 100). They are so yummy! I must

admit that I even prefer them over Detour bars and for me that

saying a lot! :-)

I was on a plateau for a while at 178...after a week of having one

every day for breakfast I went down 4 lbs. Might just be

coincidence, I dunno. All I know is that they have not stalled my

weight loss at all.

I made these the other night. They are good, but I, too, was worried about

the calories and fat content due to the butter and peanut butter. I did use

fat free cream cheese, so that made me feel better.

However, I am not a real peanut butter fan. I'm thinking I could maybe

replace the peanut butter with some extra fat free cream cheese and use

vanilla powder. Then, flavor it with a bit of s/f syrup of choice. I'm

waiting for my order from Vitalady...maybe I will play with the recipe when

that order comes in...

I figured the calories out to be approx 308 per piece with Kricket's

adjustments. (extra butter, etc)

That is a lot of calories indeed. I decided to cut them up small and

eat just a piece at a time.

Since I malabsorb fats, due to the RNY, I don't worry about it. I always

found that fat-free meant more carbs to compensate.

Do proximals malabsorb fat too? I am only 9 days out and was told fat free

cause I'd dump on fat. I know everyone is different, but does this happen to

alot of people?

I made them with Vanilla PS 100 recently and according to my (non

scientific) methods, even when adding the extra butter...they came

in at 224 calories a piece. (I used the Neufchatel Cream Cheese and

Simply Jif-creamy this time).

I think if you play around with it a bit, you can bring down the

calories. And this recipe is so versatile that YES, it can be played

with!

PS you are probably right with the 308 calories when made with Choc

Stack.

>> Do proximals malabsorb fat too? I am only 9 days out and was told fat

I'm very proximal, and I don't dump on fat but I do malabsorb fat. If I eat

fatty food, it goes through me pretty much without leaving much behind. Fat

free foods are usually loaded with carbs, because they replace the fat with

carb-y fillers. Look at the label on fat free cream cheese compared to

regular cream cheese, or fat free cheddar compared to regular cheddar, and

you will see way more carbs (which we tend NOT to malabsorb, so eating them

can both cause dumping and slow weight loss).

I don't eat fat-free anything, as it always has more carbs than I am willing

to accept when I can eat the real food and get better flavor and texture.
