Want More Energy? &#8211;  Improve Your Nutrition!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>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 &#8220;Healthy Home Cooking For Kids&#8221; 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 &#8220;Minions of Nutrition&#8221;. I figured I should share it with you as a big percentage of the people I meet at Expos are low in energy levels.<br \/>\nHi Tom,<br \/>\nThought it was about time I shared some of experiences during my Healthelicious Bar and Slice challenge.<br \/>\nI began slowly with the bars in the order you suggested and will attempt to talk about some of the more interesting results and experiences.<br \/>\nOn the taste side, I found them all mostly to be quite palatable.  The hardest one for me to eat was definitely the Thin &#038; 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&#8217;s a dangerously energetic bar indeed.<br \/>\nI also found the Bug Out Bar to be quite strong but palatable.  All the other bars was pretty easy to eat and tasted fine.<br \/>\nI 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.<br \/>\nCan you tell I am loving the bars?  I have more energy and it&#8217;s awesome.  I love that the nutrients I was obviously lacking could be squished so beautifully into a &#8216;super bar&#8217;.<br \/>\nLove your work Tom!<br \/>\nAs 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&#8230;..oh well, at least they were healthy&#8230;.<br \/>\nAnyway Tom, I really do feel a positive energy boost from eating these bars.  I just couldn&#8217;t seem to get it from even the &#8216;good&#8217; food I was eating.  My body feels energised and this is a wonderful feeling especially since I don&#8217;t tend to get a lot of sleep ( not through lack of trying)<br \/>\nAnyway&#8230;. Wow!  Thanks for sharing Tom.<br \/>\nA.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthelicious.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.healthelicious.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight I received an order from a girl who has been a regular orderer for a year or so.
