Default Best Bars

The absolute BEST low carb bars I have found I bought from a lady at my church who is a distributor of them. The company's site is www.trimadvantage.com. I don't know about their diet 'plan' - although she has lost 70 lbs - but their high performance bars are the BEST. Large portions, lowest carbs I've ever seen (4 per bar), amazing flavors, excellent taste, very chewy, satifying and about $2 a bar. I buy them in a box! Not sure if you can buy direct from the company but they are worth checking out!! YUM!! They have many products, but I've only tried the bars.

Soteria, I've moved your post about these bars out of the Wish List thread, that's for new LC product ideas....

I've had a look because these sounded familiar...

BLI or Better Life Institute is partnered with (what used to be called) AmWay... good quality products but buying direct may not be an option. Very probably distributor-sales only.

To get at the detailed nutritional info, one needs to register at the website (free sign-on). This info should be run through the "Hidden Carb" calculator available from our Tools item on the orange menu bar above...

An example would be the Trim Advantage Orange Cream Protein Bar:
Quote:
Nutrition Information Per 60 g bar:
Energy 250 Cal/1050 kJ
Protein 22 g
Fat 8.0 g
Polyunsaturates 0.4 g
Monounsaturates 6.2 g
Saturates 1.3 g
Cholesterol 5 mg
Carbohydrate 12 g
Sugars 1.0 g **
Maltitol 5.3 g **
Mannitol 0.01 g **
Sorbitol 0.3 g **
Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysates 2.4g **
Starch 2.0 g **
Dietary Fiber 1.0 g
Sucralose 22.8 mg
Sodium 190 mg
Potassium 290 mg

Ingredients:
Protein blend (whey protein isolate, soy protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, hydrolyzed whey isolate), glycerin, maltitol solution (maltitol, sorbital, mannitol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates), sunflower oil, soy nuggets (soy protein isolate, rice flour, malt extract, salt), gum arabic, calcium phosphate, natural orange crème flavour, lecithin, tocopherols, sucralose.
May contain trace amounts of peanuts.


Well, there's a reason they taste so good. There's QUITE a collection of carbs and "sugar alcohols" in there. I do give them credit for putting them on the label, though.

Hope this helps.
