Q: Pure Protein Bars and Zero Sugar Foods for Hypoglycemia
asked by: DaveLee22 on November 10th, 2007

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.
