Are Diet/Protein Bars a healthy snack?

The market is flooded with protein & diet bars that all claim to be good for your health. But are they really?

Well, that depends on what the ingrediants are. If the first few ingrediants listed is any form of sugar, give that particular diet bar a miss. Why? Because foods high in sugar trigger the release of the hormone insulan, and insulan encourages the body to store fat. It also makes you feel hungry a short while later and increases your craving for more refined carbs and sweets. And the more refined carbs and sugar you eat the more you crave it and the bigger you get.

Insulin also stops stored fat from being burned, definately not a situation that you would want.

Become an avid label reader, and avoid all food (not only protein bars) that have refined carbs and sugar as the main ingrediants.
