Before I went to the gym I needed some protein bars to make sure I had enough energy.<\/p>\n
Well, I didn’t have any of my usual protein bars on me, so my friend gave me an extra Slimfast bar he had.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that this Slimfast bar is marketed as a “health food”, that is supposedly appropriate for someone trying to lose weight.<\/p>\n
What a freakin joke these protein bars are! In my opinion, these Slimfast bars are WORSE for you than a candy bar!<\/p>\n
The 1st ingredient in these “weight loss” protein bars is corn syrup!<\/p>\n
Then the 2nd ingredient is sugar (yay more sugar!), followed by hydrogenated oils (trans fats), and then the list went on with nothing but junk such as artificial flavors, colors, more hydrogenated oils, nasty artificial sweeteners, and rounded out with some highly processed soy protein isolate just to give your body some more junk.<\/p>\n
*By the way, you should stay away from processed soy products like the plague if you care about your health…<\/p>\n
I can’t go into detail on this today, but the average adult eating a typical modern western diet in countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, etc consumes approximately 67%<\/b> of their total caloric intake from only 3 foods<\/b> (and their derivatives).<\/p>\n
