Weird Question

OK...  First of all I'm really doing all I can to lose some weight.  Today is the first day of week two of watching EVERYTHING and NOT CHEATING!  I'm actually proud of myself...  I find it is getting much easier to stick to it now that I'm over the first 4 or 5 days. 

In fact, my family had fattening Chinese last night.  I even went to the restaurant and picked it up...  BUT, I got myself a salad from McDonalds to eat while my family had yummy Chinese.  I'm proud because didn't cheat with the Chinese.

Now, for the question I have...  Does anyone else feel their metabolism speed up when they eat protein bars?  I mean...  I noticed this yesterday and today when I ate one of the WW bars that goes along with the Quick Start Diet.  I actually feel revved up, I start sweating (as if I took one of those energy pills), etc...

I've just never had this happen to me with other protein bars.  Anyone else have this sinsation?

No, I've never experienced that. Others might have.

It may not be your metablolism speeding up...you could be dumping, esp if there are sugar alcohols in that protein bar.  I know that for me, if I ingest more than 6g of protein alcohols, my heart starts pounding and I start sweating like a harlot in church.  It is BAD.

Some Bars (Clif is one I know of) have caffiene in them....but if you are on a quick start plan-you might just be dropping some weight and having that lovely hormone imbalance that goes with it.

I honestly don't know if I truly dump or I'm just having a hot flash timed with something I shouldn't eat....maybe the food triggers the flash-because I have a lap band and should not dump....but if I slam any more than a bite of something high fat/high carb I'm gonna get sick.

 

That hasn't happened to me....darn it...except for the sweating...i'd like my metabolism reved!!!
