Without a doubt, the tastiest protein bars in my experience are the Carbwise High Protein selection - they don't taste far off the real thing.
If i'm looking for something a bit more nutritious, the Chemical Nutrition bars are basically oats + protein from what I can see - they taste a bit like sawdust though.

Hi adey! I am still on track, took a little blip over the weekend but am back now. I am definitelygetting psyched and am looking forward to being ripped. It is funny when i tell folks at work taht i am on a diet and they are incredulous. When i go on to tell them i have lost 20lbs they dont believe me.

That's because they might not know your secrets .

Right on bro! Keep it up until you hit your goal. I tip the scales at about 195-200 too. Its a good fighting weight for me.

What do you do to control your appetite? maybe because I'm an endurance cyclist, but my appetite is sometimes enormous, and I mentally cannot convince myself to abstain. Do you write down everything you eat, or make a plan for what you're eating each day? Or do you just eat the same thing everyday?

i basically eat the same thing every day. Down 24 lbs. I would not recommend this for an endurance athlete, in fact i am not sure i would recommend it for anyone! but it works for me. Low carb is the key for me to curbing appetite, as soon as i add carbs in i get hungry. I basically have supps and protein shake plus a banana for breakfast, left over protein (eg chicked) or protein powder and peanut butter for lunch. Fairly generous portion of protein plus salad or broccoli or coleslaw for evening meal. 40 grams of protein powder plus bcaas prior to workout plus bcaas after working out. free rein on sugar free jello.

fascinating stuff man. I agree about the carbs...but i crave them badly. I gotta stick to the oatmeal instead of the oatmeal cookies.

when i get closer to my goal, i add in natural oatmeal in the morning, mid morning and mid afternoon protein snacks. I also add in carbs with my evening meal, sweet potatoe, whole grains, you get the picture. however, in the beginning when i really need to lose, carbs really hammer your appetite resulting in those cravings.
As an endurance athlete you really need the carbs, i just sugest you spread your meals out and make sure you up the percentages of calires in your diet from healthy fats and protein.

I am, but for now I'm trying to stick mainly with small amounts of complex carbs and trying to forget simple carbohydrates. On weekends I add in fruits and natural juices for health porposes.
Hey Jbol, you must be doing some serious cardio as well, huh?

1 hour at lunch on the treadmill set at 14degree incline @4mph with bursts to 4.5. Little more on weekends.

I get great results with that too, usually only go for 30-35mins though.
