FullBar Review

FullbarRecently, I had the pleasure of being contacted by a representative of Dr. Michael Snyder.  Dr. Snyder is a Bariatric surgeon.  He wanted me to try something for free... No it was not a complementary Bariatric surgery. :)

It turns out that Dr. Snyder had invented a product called the FullBar.  The idea behind the Fullbar is to provide a healthy and delicious bar when eaten with a glass of water fills your stomach and provides the felling of of being full.  Clever name right?

So, the complimentary bars arrived Thursday.  There were 3 flavors in my package: Cocoa Crisp, Penut Butter Crunch, and Carmel Apple Crisp.  I can attest they all taste great and are made with great ingredients like Agave Nectar and Brown Rice Syrup.  From a hunger control stand point they work too...  I ate mine with lunch and had a hard time eating anything for lunch or dinner.

My concern was the calories, carbs, and the protein to carb ratio.  At 170 calories the bar is 14% of my daily allowance.  The bar contains 31g of carbohydrates and only 4 g of dietary fiber; therefore, a countable carbohydrate count of 27g.  That is 3 of my 6 carbohydrates for the day.    The bar contains 5g of protein, which give the bar a 5:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio.  The ratio was the issue my weight loss doctor had with the bars. In order to balance the ratio I ate the bars with 2 servings of roasted edamame.

Intellectually, the glycemic index of the carbs should be taken into account, but at this time such information is not available and has not been incorporated into the nutritional labels of products in the United States.  For example, refined sugar is not the same as Agave Nectar yet the grams of carbohydrates count the same in my diet.

Up until my own doctor pointed out the high amount and ratio of carbs I was very high on this product. Unfortunately, this product doesn't fit into my medically assisted diet. That doesn't change the fact, I think this product could help a lot of people.

I got a free week and am giving it a try.

Yesterday it did make me feel full enough to eat a smaller amount at dinner and lunch.

I’m going to blog about my experiences this week. I’ve never done this kind of diet so we’ll see.

Dr. Snyder actually came out with a new product last month – it’s called Aquafull: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yce61YRU3SE&feature=channel_page
