I came across these in Walmart and I really like them.

I've tried the following flavors:

– Creamy Peanut Butter
– Crunch Peanut Butter
– Brownie Crunch
– Lemon Delight

Most of them have 20g Protein and 2 to 3g Net Carbs and most of them use artificial sweeteners.

I can get them for about $1.10 a bar at Walmart.

They're very handy when I don't want to make something for breakfast or when I have craving for something sweet.

On the most part, they're tasty and filling and I'm losing weight with them in my diet.

I tried an Atkins bar - it was pretty tasty but I wasn't sure if you really were allowed to subtract the sugar alcohol from the total carbs. I guess looking at this bar it must be true.....

I know some low-carb eating folk who will not mess around with sugar alcohols and net carbs, but that's the only way I can maintain a low-carb diet that's effective. It works for me.

I happened to find these bars on sale at my favorite grocery store last week and bought an month's supply of about four or five flavors. I like the Peanut butter chocolate crunch bar, the most. And the fact that the bars are free of sugar, is great!

Thanks so much for the post about Think Thin Bars, Orema.

The title is misleading.

It isn't about pills at all but outlines the damage high carbohydrate/low fat diets have done to our health. It does discuss the benefits of a ketogenic diet.

Good documentary on Netflix.

The Keto version of Italian wedding soup that I make is something like:

I will make a hamburger patty the night before, blending lean pork, and extra lean beef, crush some pork rinds and add 1 egg, salt & pepper. The rest of the meat mixture turns into meat balls browned in a little coconut oil.
I set aside in the fridge for the following day.. at that time, I take about 2 litres of chicken stock, add the meat balls and allow to simmer for a hour. I then add my noodle substitute.. riced cauliflower. Allow it to simmer at least 20 minutes to soften and be more of a noodle texture. I then add a few handfuls of spinach, allow to soften. Add a little extra black pepper, and fresh parmesan to taste.
Make it your own, adding more of the things you enjoy, but keep it low carb

Esme, For breakfast I try to have some premade foods handy, like I will make a half dozen egg bites, (they last a few days in the fridge) scrambled egg with spinach, little cream cheese, bits of bacon, small amount of diced green onion or some chopped dill (depending on my mood when baking .. lol) then pour into muffin tins (lined with parchment paper) add a little bit of coconut oil to the muffin liners so the egg will release.. I will bake in the oven for about 20 minutes till cooked, then add a little pinch of cheddar to each one. Store in the fridge in a zip lock and you have a quick ready to go breakfast.
Other quick breakies I use are small amount of berries, little whipped cream (no sugar added) with some cubed cheese and almonds to take to go.

That’s a hard one for me, Esme. i’ll have a protein bar, but like dee and Breathless, I sometimes prepare food ahead of time or think outside the box. Yesterday for breakfast I had a spring salad (mostly green lettuce), added leftover chicken from the night before with a balsamic salad dressing. I also like boiling eggs and keeping those handy.

I’ll also stop at a fast food joint and get a side order of bacon or sausage and side order of eggs.
