• LA Weight Loss Bars can keep you on your diet

Features

• LA Weight Loss Bars are a mixture of sweet, crunchy and salty; all the things a dieter craves. They come in a variety of flavors like peanut butter, chocolate mint and chocolate crunch. The taste is more like a candy bar than a nutrition bar. They are prepackaged, making it easy to grab as a meal replacement or light snack.

Benefits

• The calories on a bar range between 150 to 200; not too bad for a snack. Snacking can be a dieter's friend. You may find it easier to stay on a diet if you have snacks to look forward to. LA Nutrition bars provide 8g of protein and 4g of fat, both of which are slow to digest and can help to curb your appetite.

Drawbacks

• While being low in calories is great, there really is not a whole lot of nutrition in these bars. If you are watching your carbs, plan on getting around 29g from each bar. There is less than a gram of fiber, which is not a good thing for dieters. The biggest drawback is the 18g of sugar. A Hershey bar with almonds has 19g of sugar.

Availability

• LA Weight loss Bars can be purchased at LA Weight loss Centers throughout the US. You can also buy them online from sites that are not associated with the center.

Warning

• If nutrition is what you are after, there are other options out there. If, however, you are looking a low calorie sweet treat, this is a good substitute. Also keep in mind that most LA Weight Loss Centers will require you to be a member in order to purchase the bars.
