FullBar Weight Loss Bars Cocoa Chip Pak Twelve bars Review

I am a late 50ish woman who is very overweight, and am always, ALWAYS hungry. I'm not so obese, however, that I would ever consider surgery. I read about these bars in a womans magazine and ran right out to get them. I was extremely pleased to note how long it took to eat one. They are big! And they taste decent. They could taste even worse, and I would still be happy. I ate one a half hour before dinner, with coffee. I prepared a small dinner, hoping against hope that this would really work. To my pleasant surprise, I could only eat about 2/3rds of what I had prepared, and now over two hours later, I'm still very full. No idea if this will translate into weight loss, but I'm giving it 5 stars because it feels good not to be gnawingly hungry, even for awhile!! People who don't have this problem can't begin to understand.
One thing, though. I didn't feel full immediately. In fact, I could have happily eaten another bar immediately. It wasn't until I started dinner that I began to feel full. Then it happened very fast.
ONE WEEK UPDATE
I just couldn't be happier!! I have lost 6 pounds since I started these bars a little over a week ago. I have a WII fit, and weigh myself every day. I had been bouncing back and forth, but going nowhere for a couple months. Then suddenly, straight down every day! Both my weight and body mass. I don't really want to lose this much weight on a weekly basis, and I'm sure it will slow down, but I am so pleased, and I'm NOT HUNGRY!! Hooray!!!!!!! Like another reviewer, I also keep bars in the car. Helps when I would otherwise go buy donuts or cookies, or whatever. I could eat a half dozen donuts and still be hungry, but one fullbar and coffee seems to satisfy. As time goes on, I feel full even right after I eat the bar, which helps immensely.

I'm been full-baring for ten days now and am down seven pounds. I was really surprised at how well these products work. It seems to me that they do more than just fill you up. They're also supposed to help you reduce cravings. My sense is that the medical aspect of these bars is that they decompose sort of slowly in your body and keep your blood sugar relatively constant -- unlike the Fiber One bar. I'm assuming that's the medical function of the sugary coating on the puffed wheat, and why one can't just eat a bowl of puffed wheat cereal and have the same effect.
In my case, I feel pleasantly full most of the day through having one an hour before lunch and one an hour before dinner. In the beginning, I felt almost grossly overfull all the time, and had trouble even having a small dinner, but this seems to have resolved itself. Since I'm no longer starving, I no longer binge. I eat the full bar an hour before dinner and then am pleasantly full enough to plan and make a healthy dinner. I also attended a party last week where there were cheese burgers and cookies and lots of sweets and I had -- a seven up. This was a first for me, but I wasn't hungry, so I wasn't tempted.
The other thing I've noticed is that I'm losing weight without having any of those nasty ketosis-like symptoms. I don't have headaches or bad breath or that nasty feeling you sometimes have when you're losing weight. Your digestive system may seem more active than usual -- and you may be thirsty and want to drink more water, but other than that you'll feel like yourself (only thinner!).
Full bars are nowhere near as yummy as Fiber One, but they really help me manage my cravings. (Peanut butter is the best tasting, but the puffed wheat tends to taste a little soggy and stale. but I'd probably eat asbestos if it helped me this much with my weight. I'm having no problem getting past the taste.) Also, other than the peanut butter and the chocolate, the bars all kind of taste the same -- the cranberry tasted the same as the chocolate, in my opinion.
Also, I'm getting to the point where even the whole bar seems too much, so I may experiment with only having half a bar. But here's the thing -- this is the first time in my life, I've been able to stop HALFWAY THROUGH A MEAL because I realized I was full. I eat slower now, I enjoy my food more and am hopefully developing good habits. Yeah, Fullbar! I love you, Dr. whatshisname.

Fullbar Aquafull , Zesty Lemon Tea 20-Count Box Review

The Zesty Lemon Tea flavor is the best amongst the variety of flavors that this product is offered in. The products also contains healthy ingredients and does a great job of keeping your bowel movements regular. I've tried the full bar, the full bites and the aqua full. All three are good products, but the full bars are my least favorite product. If you like ice tea, then you'll love this product flavor. I would recommend this to a friend.

To me if it's supposed to be healthy AND filling I expected them to taste like cardboard...maybe the bag I got was fresher than the reviewer who felt they tasted stale or like a rice cake because I actually REALLY enjoyed these...even if they weren't filling I would have found them great for the amount you get for only 150 calories. (a really full bag). Mine were crisp and had a nice mild sour cream and onion flavor.
I actually just picked them up at Walgreens where they were 50% off because I was famished running work errands but they are currently cheaper here (at the time of my review they run under 2 bucks each here with no tax...although the price fluctuates depending upon the seller so this may change eventually.) Anyway, I liked them enough to see if Amazon had the automatic delivery of them with the auto-delivery discount, but they did not.
I would love it if they were even cheaper but I am impressed with how filling they are without un-natural additives, they are full of fiber, and I liked the taste. I probably won't stock up on them as often as I would if they lowered the price a bit more, but I'll, most assuredly, keep em around.
It should be noted: These aren't exactly calorie free so I can't say I entirely "get" the premise of eating these right before a meal because 150 calories before every meal could add up fast even if you ate slightly less at the meal, it may not result in a loss. I, therefore, would choose these for a snack in between healthy meals and it did keep me satisfied. For others it may help them adjust the meal size enough to cause a loss. Also I was surprised to notice they are high in protein too
Update: The more I have these the more surprised I am how extremely filling they are. If I keep drinking water, it seems as though they just keep expanding and keep me full. As someone into working out, I try to eat tiny healthy meals every few hours to keep my metabolism up but my body, with my energy, also seems to always want food even when I shouldn't eat it. I am always hungry at meal time. Yet, I actually bypassed dinner a few times after eating these. I NEVER do that. Just to be healthy, I ate some veggies but I eat high fiber meals all the time without that result...so I am now a fan.
I have not yet tried the other flavors.

I read every single review before buying this product and just reread them before writing this review. First off, these bars work. I'm a medical writer and work for a bariatric surgeon. Being that I'm only looking to lose about 15 pounds, this bar is perfect. I eat one before Lunch and Dinner, as instructed. The main concept is that it has a lot of fiber in it which is very filling (also very healthy and aids in metabolic function), it also is made of puffed wheat, which mixed with water, swells in your stomach. It doesn't break down too fast either because it is a complex carbohydrate. If you eat these as instructed, with 8 oz of water, wait 30 minutes to have your meal, you will see a huge difference in your appetite...UNLESS you have a very large appetite. People that are more than 30 pounds over-weight will not have as much ease with cutting down on what they eat than someone who is smaller. I think a trick would be, if you feel that hungry and are eating just as much, double your water in take with the full bar. Or add an apple (not skinned, you need the skin!) to your regime about ten minutes after the full bar...before you eat your meal. Good luck. These bars should work for you, but you need to adjust the intake to accomodate your appetite. :-) Oh, and the chocolate ones are the most tasty in my opinion.

With a cup of water: Filling, as promised. Tastes okay but not great. (If they're too delicious, it can be tempting to eat more than one between meals.)
