Bette: Thanks for the link!!! I signed up & can not wait to try my sample. Chryssie

Luna Bars may have some nutritional merit for some. However, it would not be a good choice for the many of us who consistently restrict carbohydrates and who avoid sugars. Although the sugars may come from "natural sources", the high sugar content and relatively high amount of carbohydrates does not make the Luna Bar a great choice for people advocating a low-carb lifestyle.

Sigh . . . fine. DISCLAIMER: "For those who make the personal choice to not restrict their carbohydrates and and not avoid sugars, and WOULD like to try a Luna bar, for free, the web address is above." Better?

Bette: I still thank you for the post!!! I do limit my carbs but a treat every once in a while is fine. I must be doing something right since I am 2 pounds from goal. Thanks for sharing and leave it up to others to read the nutritional pannel to see if this will work for them. Chryssie

I agree. I've lost 201 pounds in 18 months while having a protein bar (including carbs and sugars) on occasion. A bar with 10 g of protein and 100% of about a dozen vitamins and minerals sounds like a pretty good thing to me when, for example, I have to get to the gym on the way home and won't eat anything from noon until 9:00. Bars are not for EVERYONE, apparently, but I leave that for the reader to decide. Someone can get a free one. . . . or not get a free one. I don't care. It's not like I own stock in the company.

Depending upon the nature of the food issues that lead us all individually to seek bariatric surgery, the tolerance level for sugars and "treats" vary widely. Of course, all of us have seen any number of post-ops who turn to seemingly healthy products only to discover that they were a trigger (like the people who treat themselves to low-carb cookies excessively) or that they contained far too many carbs (like those people who drink Ensure or Boost early after surgery) that kept them out of ketosis. That's why, I think, it's always worthwhile to discuss the ingredients of the items we advocate, because what works for some of us, might not work for all. Whether we were among the fortunate ones to achieve our goals remarkably fast and sustain them, or whether we struggle each day to keep a pace or two ahead of our food demons, we all benefit by remembering to constantly scrutinize food labels.
