OMG...this has to be the most disgusting "Food" that I have tried so far. I can certainly understand how it works. It took me about 20 minutes to choke down this chewy, styrofoam consistency product. I guzzled water the entire time to get it down. LOL. No wonder you "Eat Less and Feel Full"...you're sick after eating it. If I'm going to eat 170 calories before a meal, I will stick with the Special K Protein Bars. At least they taste good.
ok I finally came up with a recipe that actually tastes good and works just as good a fullbar in my opinion- it is also low in calories - depending on how you make it they are 69.79 calories or 57.29 calories. Do I need to start a new post or just put it on this one? or is anyone interested in it?
thanks!
I do think the idea of the 'full bar' is silly. Why eat something full of calories before a meal to stop you from eating too many calories at said meal. Couldn't you just use portion control, or just stop eating when you feel full naturally?
I've seen commercials for it, but don't know if I believe it or not. But I do use that system, where I eat my small meal, then drink a big glass of water. It does seem to work, so I don't see the need to purchace the full bar itself.
They are GROSS!
And I don't see how eating 150 calories of something will make me eat less at my meal.....after all I've just consumed a 150 calorie appetizer!
Fullbar does have another product called Fullbites - I don't use them for their weight loss plan, I use them for an occasional snack. Now those are really yummy - like a cheese puff! And you get a pretty big bag for your 150 calories. It will fill you up for a bit also. But like I said - I work it into my day as a snack not as a way to try to eat less at meals.
I have been eating these for 2 weeks and I have lost weight (don't know how much because I don't weigh, but I can tell by how my clothes fit). I know they are mostly just puffed wheat, and no they don't taste great (which in my opinion is a GOOD thing) but they taste OK. They are the first diet bar I have ever eaten that really makes me feel satisfied. I am not feeling hungry all day, and let me tell you, for me that is amazing.
I have been spreading a tablespoon of peanut butter on them to use them for occasional meal replacement bars and am completely satisfied for hours. I have also been adding benefiber to my water.
i agree with the calorie count thing-- Fullbars have wayyyyy too many calories- hence why I have came up with my own "concocktion" so to speak. and everyone is different on their eating habits and will power... so for those of you that are with me on the fullbar band wagon- if you don't mind cooking......
also some people may not like some of the items that I have chosent to use..... but so far it is working for me and it has far fewer calories so I don't feel as bad about eating them before a meal/ and did I mention they were cheaper as well??
so I hope this can someone. i will try to list the brands that i am using and the place i boughgt them at....
3 Table Spoons of butter- I use I can't believe it's not butter fat free- 5 cals per TBSP so 15 cal. total depending on what size container you buy around$2 for the whole deal- you prob. only use about 25 cents worth of the butter in this recipe
1 cup of PB2 (peanut butter) 50 calories per 2 tablespoons- for a total of 400 cal 3.99 per jar plus flat rate of 4.95 shipping no matter how many jars you buy at netrition.com
this is what ever option you choose------ you can either use 1 10oz package of regular marshmallows or 1 jar 7 oz of marshmallow creme (the bag of marshmallow is 900 calories total and the marshmallow creme is 600 calories) both are kraft jet puffed brand around $2
6 cups of puffed wheat arrowhead mills for 50 calories per cup. so total of 360 calories this is at amazon.com for 1.89 or less a bag depending on how you order it and shipping is around 3 dollars- each bag has 11 cups in it.
if you use the marshmallows you will have each square 69.79 calories per square
if you use the marshmallow creme you will have 57.29 calories in each bar.
and they only cost about 42 cents per bar- alot more budget-friendly than 2.00 per bar!
i like the marshmallow creme option best. i think they hold together very well - if you weant it "gooier" you could use more marshmallow creme- but of course it will make the calorie count go up.
so you just take the butter, PB2, and marshmallow creme and melt them like you do for rice krispies - when everything is hot and melted together add the puffed wheat.
then spread out in pan or on wax paper on your counter- let dry and cut into 24 equal squares.
to me ths option works well for me- I hate feeling hungry and until my body learns to be happy with only a small amout of food-- this works for me. some people may not like the sugar count... because i know it is a little high. there may be reduced fat or fat free marshmallow creme- i haven't had time to check but that would also reduce calories. I hope this will help someone!
maybe one day i will be thin again and not have to starve myself to lose weight and feel full!!!!!!!
I just bought 2 at wal greens after seeing this thread. I plan to use them in the evenings to curb night eating which has been my problem. Hopefully they'll do the trick.
WOW, I came here to get feedback and boy did I. Well I'll tell u what. I've never had them before but was thinking about trying it since I saw them at Big Lots. I couldn't believe it. 6 bars for $6.50 & I think it was either 12 or 16 bars for $8.50. I figured at these prices I could give a go and see what happens. But first, I think I'm going to try the Phsyllium Husk. Never thought to use it in this manner. Hmmm...I actually already have some! I wonder...just how long did it take you to lose those 55 lbs? Also could take I it with OJ then follow with a glass or 2 of water?

The absolute best thing to have before a meal is psyllium seed husks in a big glass of water.
Not only will it fill you up, it is relatively inexpensive, and helps lower cholesterol, too!
If you look into it, start slowly, with about 1 tsp. in 1 cup.
I've worked my way up to 2 T in 4 cups of water. I have a great complexion, I 'go' regularly and I've lost 55 pounds. I highly recommend it!
I live up in Vancouver BC, so I found them at London Drugs. They had 4 different flavors. I just had the peanut butter flavor, and it wasn't bad. Not great either, but that is a perk as I don't want more than one. Right now, I feel like I could burst.
I also picked up the metamucil wafers.
I am looking for any help I can get!
Wow, I keep feeling fuller. I am a person who LOVES to eat - and right now, i don't think I could even eat a bite of pasta. THAT is saying something.
Hi, just bought the full bars as I was seeking something to fill me up before I eat so I don't eat as much at dinner. I already use flax seed and was cautious of the psyllium (sp?) because of getting too much fiber. If I take the Psyllium (sp?) in addition to the flax seed and other fiber I take during the day, would that be too much fiber? I am glad I ran across this site and hope you ladies don't mind the presence of a male user.....
