Imagine having the benefits of gastric bypass surgery without the surgery.
Dr. Michael Snyder, a surgeon who has performed more than 1,500 bariatric surgeries, wondered if he could come up with a dietary product that could help people feel full, and he developed the FullBar.
The bars, which come in Cranberry Almond, Cocoa Chip, Caramel Apple Crisp and Peanut Butter Crunch. are -- depending on flavor -- 160-180 calories per bar, 5-7 grams of protein and 4-5 grams of fiber.
His recommendation is to eat a FullBar 30 minutes before a meal with a glass of water to curb your appetite, but I have found that if I eat a bar for breakfast, I am completely full until long after noon, which I disovered by accident. I ate one for breakfast last week before running a bunch of errands, and when I finally thought about eating lunch it was 1:30 -- which is amazing for me.
I tried the Cocoa Chip and Caramel Apple Crisp flavors. Both bars are huge, not overly sweet or gooey and kind of like Rice Krispies treats in texture. They are available at GNC stores and online at FullBar.com.

Gail--great tip, especially for writers like me who tend to snack. I'm going to try these! Patricia Phillips, Space News Examiner
Thanks for the info! I'm going to have to check these out!
These look good, but I think I'd have a hard time swallowing the price.
Got something to say?
