Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Plan, High Protein Shake Mix, Creamy Chocolate, 12.83oz Canisters (Pack of 3) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this as part of an Amazon special on SlimFast, and didn't look at nutritional data at the store ahead of time. For anyone else who wants more info before purchasing, I decided to provide it, as it doesn't appear in the item description at this time.
First, taste: Good chocolate flavor, a little sweet for my tastes. I bet that's why Diane Aliprandi's kids like it better than Carnation Instant Breakfast. :-) Anyway, I tend to be a little sensitive to the sweetness of things, so take that with a grain of salt.
This is bizarre, but I've noticed that it has a little bit of an odd smell to it. Not offensive, but lingering... ??
Nutrional info (as packaged, not prepared)
Number of servings per container: 14 (1 scoop or 1/3 cup = serving)
Calories: 110
Cal from fat: 30
Total fat: 3.5
Cholesterol: < 5 mg
Sodium: 140 mg
Potassium: 200 mg
Total Carb: 13 g
Dietary Fiber: 4 g
Sugars: 6 g
Protein: 7 g
Vitamin and mineral content varies from 10% to 100% of RDA. Calcium is 20% and Iron is 30%.
The reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 are (a) cost per serving, (b) the calories to protein & fiber ratio, and (c) the sweetness thing.
Another option to consider is Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast Canisters, not always available in container packaging, but always available in packet form Carnation Instant Breakfast, Variety Pack, No Sugar Added, Carnation Instant Breakfast, Classic French Vanilla, No Sugar Added. The containers have 12 servings per container, 60 cal/serving, 0.5 grams of fat/serving, 12 g carb/serving, 4 g fiber/serving, and 5 g protein/serving. It is less expensive per serving than the SlimFast products (at least in container form), dissolves easier, and is sweetened primarily with Splenda. I find that it keeps me satisfied as well as anything else. I do, however, use 1-2% milk rather than skim when preparing it. Fat is definitely one of the keys to satiety, along with protein and fiber.
Update: Well, I now have to say that this does, in fact, keep me satisfied longer than Carnation Instant Breakfast.

Natrol Carb Intercept with Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer, Capsules Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I exercise daily, and I finished the entire bottle. I saw no change in my weight fluctuations. My bodyweight was basically reacting the same as it did before I took these. It seems the mode of action of these pills is to block a type of amylase which breaks down carbohydrates. Well, your body can produce more than one type of enzyme to break them down. Another thing to note here is the fact that all the 5 star reviews are people who have only reviewed THIS item, which makes me question either the integrity of the seller and/or the manufacturer of this product.

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Grain Free Dry Dog Food, Salmon Recipe, 24-Pound Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before switching to Blue Buffalo Wilderness Salmon, my boston terrier seemed to have negative reactions to everything he ate. His stools were consistently soft and he frequently broke out in rashes and would scratch and itch until he bled. We kept trying new brands of dry food hoping to find something that agreed with him. We were amazed how quickly things turned around when we started him on Blue Buffalo. His stools are finally normal and his skin has never looked better. His coat is even shiny! I'm so glad we found this product!

Kashi Go Lean Crunch Protein and High Fiber Cereal 51 Ounce Value Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cereal is not only delicious, but it creates the most amazing gas! I walk around for hours literally farting with every step I take! At work, my chair really takes a pounding and the warm odor of high-fiber farts lingers most of the morning, making my irksome coworkers more reluctant to bother me.
The only down side is that unless you let it soak a long time, it's like trying to eat a bowl of rocks. Warming it in the microwave improves the soaking time and is great for the cold winter months!

FiberPlus Antioxidant Bars, Dark Chocolate Almond, 5 - 1.2 oz Bars per Box, (Pack of 12) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let's be honest - 35% of your recommended daily fiber in a "candy bar" that makes you want to eat the whole box is great thing.
13% of your saturated fats in one bar? Not so good. I believe it balances out for the most part and there is definitely a benefit to making fiber taste good.
Just don't eat more than one until you are used to them.
The chicory root fiber that is in these (and FiberOne) and every other clone product is an incredible generator of intestinal gas in many people. People who eat a lot of foods high in fiber will not likely be as affected, but some will be caught quite by surprise with what happens a couple of hours after you eat one. Reports of people scaring their pets and waking themselves and loved ones up from a sound sleep with the substantial and epic flatulence is not as exaggerated as you might think. Marathon farting with longer durations and louder volume than you have ever experienced is fairly common.
The good news is, the gaseous emanations are very often "all bark and no bite" (to put it delicately) and so can be very entertaining if you have small children or an immature husband (or wife). Just do not eat them prior to bed, church, yoga class, boardroom meetings, dates, long car trips with passengers, crowded movies, using public transportation, job interviews, dentist appointments, doctor's appointments, family reunions ... well, you get the picture.
However, if you get selected by the IRS for an audit, eat a whole box (5 of them) about 1 hour before the scheduled time. This also works for meetings with any government officials or any people you DO NOT wish to ever invite you back.
