Bars have always been a weakness of mine, low carb, high protein, high carb, it didn't matter. I got used to being able to eat clif bars when I was running alot and was in the habit of eating bars regularly. Last Jan. 1 I decided my goal for the year was to drop all bars from my diet. I have made that goal and am going for a second year with no bars in my eating plan. For me, it's all or nothing. If I have just one bar, I'll end up eating more. The great thing is that my husband loves bars and always has them around. He likes the high protein Metrx bars and cookies. I have really had to learn to use my willpower this year since they are all over the condo.
