Pure Protein Bars and Zero Sugar Foods for Hypoglycemia Posted: 11-10-07 22:32pm
Hi There!
I have been experimenting with different
types of Protein bars to eat between meals
every now & then, and for emergencies.
So far, "Pure Protein" bars seem to be the
best. They have Zero Sugar & more
than 32gs of Protein. A few bars by South
Beach diet and "think thin" brand have
similar stats.
Has anyone experimented with these, or,
can anyone tell me for certain this is a
horrible idea? I usually feel good after
eating them--
best,
-Dave

You will probably not feel so good after
awhile. What else is in them? Sugar is
not the only problem, many people have to
be very careful with what kind of grains
they eat and such.

Do they have artificial sweeteners in them
at all? Or replacement sweeteners?
malitol? any fructose, glucose, maltose,
dextrose? aspartame, nutrisweet,
splenda....?

Here's a breakdown of the "pure protein"
bars:
Protein blend (whey protein, milk
protein)
12 grams of sugar alcohol (which I believe
is absorbed slower into blood)
you can buy them at whole foods &
other pretty healthy stores. I'll take
one along with me whenever I leave for
awhile-- any thoughts?

So that's all that's in it? I've heard
sugar alcohols are okay, for the most
part, but eating large amounts of it is
not, but I forget why. Makes you poop I
think.
