A Review Of The Medifast Bars

I've lost over a lot of weight on medifast and I find that many people mistake this as a diet that's made up of mostly protein bars and shakes. Although both are very popular and tasty options, they are only one choice out of many. There are over 70 food choices on this diet. The bars just happen to be one of them.

That said, I understand why the bars are so popular. They are good, filling and extremely convenient. They are also guilt free at only about 150 calories each, with only about 10 grams of sugar, 11 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fiber. Admittedly, the portion size is a bit small at first glance, but they are more filling than you might guess. Here are the flavors available and my take on how they taste:

Chocolate Mint: One of my favorites. These remind me of the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies. These have more of a crunchy, rather than chewy, taste. I have several of these per week.

Oatmeal Raisin: Many people feel this one taste like oatmeal raisin cookie dough. This one is probably most similar to what you would envision when think of a protein bar, sort of like the Quaker variety. This one has more of a chewy texture.

Lemon Yogurt: I'm not sure where the yogurt comes in here. I don't taste it. I can taste a lot of lemon flavor though, almost like the filling for lemon meringue pie. This bar has more of chewy texture as well.

Chocolate: This is your classic chocolate bar, but it has a crunchy texture which I really like. If I had to compare this to something you might recognize, I'd have to say a nestle crunch bar, mostly because of the texture, but the taste is pretty good too. I believe this is probably most people's favorite.

Fruit And Nut / S'more Granola: These are your typical granola type bars. I don't like granola in general, so these are my least favorite.

Caramel Nut: Again to use the candy bar analogy, this one is a bit like a Twix.

Peanut Butter: This one taste exactly as you might expect. Peanut taste with a crunchy texture. I love it. Also a favorite.

I really do love the medifast bars. They allow me a bit of a dessert or candy indulgence without the guilt.
