FullBars

Peanut butter is the first flavor I tried. Eat half a chocolate and half a peanut butter together and it taste like peanut butter cups.

Fullbars are a borderline scam in my opinion.

The problem with Fullbars is that they do not change your eating habits. All it does is expand in your stomach to help you feel full sooner than you normally would.

This causes another problem -- overeaters are used to feeling full as they eat, and they just keep eating. And guess what happens when you consistently overeat? Your stomach expands to fit the amount you're eating. So...overeat and your stomach gets bigger, and then you need more to feel full. Fullbar will do nothing to fix that problem, and in fact may just hurry it on the way.

So what happens when you stop using Fullbar? You won't feel full when you eat a normal meal. And the overeater is inclined to eat until they feel full...so you'll start eating more again and you'll be on a rollercoaster of weight loss and gain.

The bottom line is, if you want to lose weight, EAT LESS and CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS. Put the fork down and push away from the table before you feel full. Self-control, monitor your food intake, don't buy crap food that is bad for you, et cetera. It's not that difficult to do.

When I had a lot of weight to lose, I was put on a diet pill for 6 months. I got used to eating less food and my stomach shrunk but taking the pills was for the purpose of me getting used to eating less while I educated myself on how to eat after I went off the pills.
I think fullbar is pretty much the same thing.
Everyone knows that nothing is going to work if you go back to old eating habits.
It is difficult for people that are used to eating alot to realize when they're full so fullbars are a good thing to use for a crutch for awhile until the weight comes off or good to eat as a snack instead of a bag of chips and sometimes I use them in place of a meal.

Not true. My eating habits have changed in three short weeks. I am not eating as much. That's a change.

You need to watch the video on the fullbar website.

The whole point is to change your eating habits. It takes approximately 11 weeks to change a habit. If fullbar helps us do this....I don't see a problem.

It's easy to give advice when you haven't experienced it for yourself. Are you overweight and losing? Have you been overweight and accomplished weight loss from sheer will power? Or are you just another thin person with a lot of theoretical advice? Perhaps you have accomplished this in your life but many people have not. Fullbar was created by a Bariatric doctor, which means they are being marketed to people who have weight issues. Duh, right? Some of us that don't qualify for weight loss surgery (we don't weigh enough) have only two alternatives. Either eat enough to gain weight to qualify or limit the amount that you eat. Fullbars help to accomplish this goal.

It's not all cut and dry either. Studies have shown that overweight people have issues with Leptin production/utilization, insulin resistance, hormones, genetics, etc. You say it's not difficult to do (put the fork down and push away) but millions of people would be inclined to disagree.

If people are losing weight with fullbar then it's not a scam.
