Anyone been using the Glucerna bars or shakes?

I'd love to hear about your results. I've tried eating a bar for lunch twice now, and it really fills me up, and my BG didn't shoot.

I'm very interested in how anyone is doing with this product with weight loss and BG control?

I'm not sure I really want to do it as a "plan" - I'm having such success with southbeach - but for those days when I'm really on the go, I like to have something easy on hand.

Thanks for any input,

Hugs,

Diane

Diane,

I haven't tried the glucerna shakes...I guess I have visions of them tasting like slim-fast shakes, and I thought they were gross! But I do keep some of the meal bars and snack bars in my car and in my locker at work for those times when I need to eat something but I know it's going to be awhile until mealtime, or at work, if it's crazy and I can't sit down to eat. I also have noticed that the meal bar (I only tried one) did fill me up pretty well, and my blood sugar was fairly stable. :-) I wasn't thrilled with the flavor of the meal bar I tried, but the snack bars I've had are pretty good. Also, I'm really not using it for weight loss, because if I'm supposed to have a meal, I would rather have a meal...like you, I use them as a "just in case" thing.

Hope that answers your question.

I have the shakes on hand (not the weight loss shakes) and they are ok. It's a nice "reach for something quick" drink! I also have the snack bars and the chocolate/carmel bars are good. Just be sure you drink a lot after eating them b/c they can stop you up like no body's buisness!!! HA!
