SlimFast 100 Calorie, Snack Bar 6pk, 4.86-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 8) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first opened a slimfast bar box when I returned home hungry. The first thing I noticed was the TINY size of the bars in the box. Is this one size fits all? I'm a pretty tall guy. One of these bars is NEVER going to do it!!
The second thing I noticed were the ingredients...
1. CORN SYRUP.
2. HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP.
These are the first two ingredients!!! THAT MEANS THESE BARS AS MADE MOSTLY OF CORN SYRUP!! It has been my experience that what they say about glycemic indexes is absolutely true. Anything that is very sweet will cause a person to feel much more hunger later. Plus, do a search for "High Fructose Corn Syrup" to find out if it is good for you.
THERE IS ALSO PLENTY OF HYDROGENATED PALM KERNEL OIL!! Do a search for "hydrogenated palm kernel oil health risks"
AND LOOK AT THE CARB TO PROTEIN RATIO OF A 23g PEANUT BUTTER SLIMFAST SNACK BAR (FROM THE SLIMFAST SITE)...
Sugars 13g
Dietary Fiber0g
Carbohydrates 15g
Protein 1g
Wow! Again, anything that is high in carbs and low in protein will cause a person to feel much more hungry later!!!! The Opposite of what you want when you are dieting.
These are tasty bars. Much more like a candy bar in flavor than a granola bar, but apart from the fact that they are tiny, I do not "get" the name "Slim"fast. ANY mini size regular candy bar would do exactly the same thing. And that's why I gave them 1 Star!!
Even better to find any good protein bar made with ingredients that are a lot more nutritious for the human body. Any bar that is high in protein and/or fiber, and low in carbs and sugars would curb the hunger far longer than these ever could...
For Example, MY Personal Favorite Protein Bar happens to be Pure Protein Bars. I am NOT making any money telling you this (wish I could). I only prefer Pure Protein bars because they do NOT have calcium caseinate protein, which my digestion has never handled very well...
LOOK AT THE PROTEIN TO CARB RATIO OF A 50g PURE PROTEIN BAR (CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER)...
Sugars 2g
Dietary Fiber 1g
Carbohydrate 16g
Protein 20g
