I commited myself to losing weight. I discovered these bars at Costco (unfortunately, they no longer carry them). I eat one for breakfast every day. I also bring a bunch with me when I am travelling so I don't have to eat junk food on airplanes etc. These are so filling and so large compared to other bars. I love that they are also gluten-free.

They do taste like a candy bar - that's the best part! I don't feel like I am dieting. This is my favorite flavor, although I also eat the Brownie Crunch to mix it up. You will not be disappointed! I've gotten many friends and coworkers to eat these too. Everyone loves them!

We love these bars because they are low sugar and high protein for a reasonable amount of calories. However, some of the bars seem to be old or dried out, and one bar was very strange looking with spots all over it.

I couldn't find an easy way to get a partial refund or replacement of only one out of ten bars, so that one bar was simply a waste of money. The product itself is excellent, but we're unsure whether we ultimately save money by buying it from Amazon when we may randomly have to throw away bad bars.

Bottom line: awesome product, but there are some issues with quality control.

have eaten various protien bars on the market for well over 15 years. The ThinkThin Chunky Peanut Butter bars have the best taste, excellent texture and fill me up when I need it.

I highly recommend them. I buy them by the box and if I could find a place where I could buy them by the case with a bigger discount, I would.

Protein Bar Gluten Free

Protein Bar Gluten Free

I have tried most of the flavors from the Quest Bars and loved every single one of them. Was def disappointed by this one. Tasted like a burn chocolate hard chewing candy- just to try explain it. Moving on to other flavors and not purchasing this again.

I love these bars because they are low in calories for having 20g of protein. They taste awesome, better than the other Quest flavors I've tried so these are my new favorite after gym snack

Protein Bar Gluten Free

It's got a great nutritional composition, and is an easy way to snack at work with something healthy, but very dry and requires water to wash it down. I wouldn't describe the taste as pleasant, but it's certainly not offensive.

Not sure about how it affects weight loss, it certainly didn't cause any weight gain, but I'm at a point where I'm trying to cut the last few fat% off...and this definitely didn't help.

It doesn't feel heavy though, like other protein bars, taste is ok. Prefer cookie dough. But if you like deep chewy chocolate, you should enjoy this flavor very much.

After reading about these bars on the Ideal Protein alternative site I was so excited to try them. I was so disappointed, tasted like a tootsie roll with not much flavor (I'm not a fan of tootsie rolls). I didn't like the texture and the flavor was disappointing. I will not order again. I much prefer the Power Crunch bars.

It was tasty and satisfying. I would recommend this to any that like banana nut muffins. I will be buying more

I get a lot of questions about the Medifast shakes. I believe that this is because, without a doubt, these are the most popular and well known component of (and food on) the diet. They are tasty, easy to prepare, actually good for you, and pretty filling. But, people often want to know exactly what are the ingredients in (and nutritional value of) them. I'll go over many of these issues in the following article.

Information About The Most Popular Medifast Shake First: The 55: I would venture to say that the 55 shake is the most widely used in the Medifast diet. These shakes come with the women's basic plan / package and they are in my opinion the most tasty and versatile on the plan. They come in a variety of flavors, but the nutrition is for the most part the same no matter whether you chose one of the chocolate and vanilla varieties or the fruit flavors. Generally, these contain around 90 - 100 calories, have around 11 - 13 grams of carbs, about 11- 15 grams of protein, less than 10 grams of sugars, and at least five grams of fiber. This combination helps all of the foods put your body in fat burning mode because the carb to protein ratio is quite friendly.

In general, all of the Medifast shakes are low in lactose, are relatively gluten free, are kosher, and are vegetarian. These options are generally very nutritionally sound. For example, the 55 shakes contain anywhere from 15 - 60% of the daily requirements for vitamins and minerals like vitamins A, B, C, and D, iron, magnesium, folate, zinc, copper, selenium, and biotin, to name only a few.

The 75 shakes are very similar to the 55, but they contain more protein and are generally recommended for men or for very active folks or women who are athletes or are serious about building muscle.

Other than the 55, the momentum line is probably the next popular. These items are meant to boost your metabolism and to that end they contain additional caffeine and the active ingredient in green tea. Other than that, the rest of the nutritional information is mostly the same. There are three different shake options on the momentum line.

Nutritional Information About The Medifast Ready To Drink Shakes: All of the options that I have previously discussed have required that you mix them. You can either use the little shaker cup that comes with them or a blender. (I have better results with a blender.) So, some people really like having the option of using a shake that doesn't require any preparation and that's why many really like the ready to drink. This option comes in a box with a straw. All you have to worry about doing is opening and then drinking it.

In general, the caloric and nutritional content is very similar on these. They run around 90 calories and have 12 grams of carbs and protein. They are a little light on the fiber at only 3 grams, but they are full of all the vitamins and minerals, providing 40 percent of your daily calcium needs as one example.

Specialty Shakes: In addition to the items I mentioned above, this plan does offer some specialty shakes. Examples are diabetic, heart health, joint health, antioxidant fortified, and hormonal health options. In general, these are basically the 55 with some supplementation added in. For example, omega 3s are added to the heart health meals and herbs meant to deal with menopause are added into the hormonal health.
