Protien Bars

Hi Gang, My name is Kyli and I just found the November forum today. I had surgery on 11-10-06 and I have lost 52 pounds. I have been stuck at 196 for 3 weeks now and just a little discouraged about it. I am increasing my water intake, protien intake and exercise to see if I can break this plateau. What I was wondering is if any of you could recommend a protien bar that tastes ok. I haven't tried any protien bars so far and thought it might help me get more in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Take care all!

Hi Kyli! Welcome to this board! I don't have any advice as far as proteins bars ... but I can relate to your plateau. I just got over my second one. It is sooooo frustrating .. hang in there and keep doing what you are doing. Congrats on your weight loss so far! hugs, Britt

Welcome to the board Kyli!!!! I personally like the South Beach Diet Meal Replacement Bars (not the snack bars). They have 19 grams of protein and have fiber too... They are really good.. My fav is the chocolate peanut butter. Most of the others out there taste like cardboard to me.. I have tried a lot of them.... Of course every one's tastes are different, you will have to do the trial and error on your own.... Target and a lot of other places sell them individually so you are not committed to an entire box.... You can try different ones that way.. Good Luck and congrats on such a good job so far...

Kyli, I haven't started the protein bars because when I was on the Atkins diet every time I tried to eat the low carb bars I stopped losing weight. There is something in them that didn't react well with my body. Most of us are starting to experience the temporary stalls in our weight loss. It's frustrating but normal.

Hello Kyli, Love your name (that is my daughters name Kylee.) I use the Detour bars & Pure Protein. The Detour bars have 15 grms of protein and the Pure Protein have 20 grms. I just got got off of a plateau also. I know how frustrating it is not to see the scale move. Good luck!!!! Hope one of these works for you. Dawn

I really like the South Beach , especially the crunch!!

Hi Kyli! I actually like the Atkins snack bars the cranberry and almond and the wild berry. They don't have the fake chocolate coating which I hate and are small so they are easier to eat the whole thing. They have 13 grams of protien. Corinna Q

I have been eating protein bars made by Fresh Energy bakery. the website is www.freshenergybakery.com Their protein extreme bars have about 39 grams of protein and they taste wonderful. I have also eaten the south beach diet bars, and love the cinnamon raison onces. I too have stalled sometimes it last up to a week then I will drop 3 or 4 lbs. I am right at 50 lbs lost since surgery. Good luck
