Fabulous Protein Bar!

I got a sample in the mail today of a new protein bar made by Lame Advertisement (I previously bought a magnesium supplement from them, so I suppose that's why they sent the bars). Anyhow, this bar is seriously delicious and I plan to order them. And they are: gluten/lactose/soy/casein free. I just tried the coconut almond flavor, and it was just soooo good to my poor deprived palate. Seriously delicious, really!

They also sent me a sample of a chocolate one...Ibut haven't tried it yet...will do so tomorrow and report on it.

Here's the link if you are interested...apparently they have a 2 for 1 deal going now. I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THIS COMPANY....but I've seen discussions about protein bars and I had despaired myself of finding a good one. This has 12 g protein (not as high as I'd like), but also has Omega 3's and says they are great for the immune system and sensitive stomachs.

Meanwhile, here's the link if you are interested.

sounds good, do you know how many fat grams and calories are in one bar?

I bought some larabars the other day, looked at the fat grams when I got home and was shocked at how high they are...they went right in the trash!

Go get those Lara Bars..... the reason the fat content is high is they are whole food, good fats, not bad or synthetic. They are full of nuts (depending on which one it would be walnuts, cashews, almonds, all of which are loaded with good fats your body needs).

They have no trans fats or saturated fats, they are whole foods mashed together and they are really tasty. My daughter's favorites are Cherry Pie, Apple Pie and Ginger Snap.

Enjoy.

eb,

Click on the link that cmcm provided in his post, you will see what looks like an ingredients label. I didn't see it at first myself, but it looks like a picture (it actually is a picture) of a bunch of tiny words. Click on it and it will enlarge and it is all the nutritional info.

I tried to copy it but couldn't ('cause it's a picture file). best regards, lm

Looks like they're NOT dairy-free; the ingredients include several forms of whey protein.

I called the company the bars have 8 grams of fat and 12 grams of protien. I like the Pure bar. It to contains they same amount of fat and protien ($2.00). It's a nice special treat, say.... instead of a donut. Anbody know of a lower good fat, higher protein bar?

That doesn't sound like good advice to me unless you are SEVERELY overweight. We do need fat in our diets--but not the processed garbage that is in most prepared foods.

Looks very good. What did you use instead of wheat germ...did you just omit?

Keep in mind your fats are ok, as long as they are good fats coming from a good source. You don't want to go tooooooo low in fat.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
