Re: Met Rx bars

The bars contain milk and soy, both of which are not allowed during Induction. So the bars are not allowed either.

Your weight loss at the end of the two-week Induction is important in order to determine your degree of metabolic resistance (see page 158 in the book or this link), so you don't want to skew the results.

What are the ingredients? If the ingredients are on the acceptable foods list, then the food might be legal---depending on the amounts.

Also, 310 calories for one bar has the about the same calories as 4 extra large eggs or a serving of dressing and a cup of celery sticks!

The sugar alcohols stall me -- badly!
