Tonight I received an order from a girl who has been a regular orderer for a year or so. A was referred to me by her sister who loves my bars too. I was about to ask her if she had children as I thought she did but did not want to send her a bonus “Healthy Home Cooking For Kids” book with her order if I was wrong. So I scanned our emails. And I came across this one where whe told me exactly what she thought of my “Minions of Nutrition”. I figured I should share it with you as a big percentage of the people I meet at Expos are low in energy levels.
Hi Tom,
Thought it was about time I shared some of experiences during my Healthelicious Bar and Slice challenge.
I began slowly with the bars in the order you suggested and will attempt to talk about some of the more interesting results and experiences.
On the taste side, I found them all mostly to be quite palatable. The hardest one for me to eat was definitely the Thin & Satisfied. I found it a little nasty to eat but the peppery taste and smooth consistency just made it edible for me. On the up side, I had half the bar at 10am at work and it kept me awake all day, even on the train trip home where without fail, I always fall asleep! I however had so much energy I found it hard to wind down that night. It’s a dangerously energetic bar indeed.
I also found the Bug Out Bar to be quite strong but palatable. All the other bars was pretty easy to eat and tasted fine.
I ate the bars in halves for breakfast and found I went a good 3 hours before I felt hungry. This was great as previous to this I found I would eat breakfast and be hungry very soon after. In fact I found I would eat more and more just to stop feeling hungry. After finishing the bars, I have been taking half a Nutrition Booster Bar daily at breakfast and as with the other bars feel full and satisfied. I also find that my muscles have energy. This is most noticeable walking up and down the 48 stairs at the railway station daily and when I go to the gym after work after being awake for 15 hours. Previous to Healthelicious, I could feel my muscles always feeling empty and constantly feeling hungry no matter what I ate.
Can you tell I am loving the bars? I have more energy and it’s awesome. I love that the nutrients I was obviously lacking could be squished so beautifully into a ‘super bar’.
Love your work Tom!
As for the slices, they were all wonderful. Yum. They did taste super sweet after eating the bars for a couple of weeks though. I am pretty sure my kids loved them too as some mysteriously went missing from the fridge, never to be seen again! They ate my Choc chip slice that I had been saving until the end…..oh well, at least they were healthy….
Anyway Tom, I really do feel a positive energy boost from eating these bars. I just couldn’t seem to get it from even the ‘good’ food I was eating. My body feels energised and this is a wonderful feeling especially since I don’t tend to get a lot of sleep ( not through lack of trying)
Anyway…. Wow! Thanks for sharing Tom.
A.
