I'm all for adapting things to meet your needs if it keeps you going. I eat beans for breakfast and I think that helps a lot with the funky thing. Be careful with those bar things - many have lots of sugar hiding in there and they can easily cause cravings. I have even given up on the ones that say "South Beach" except for things like travel. I tend to overeat them or they trigger me to eat more stuff. Glad to hear your positivity
