Go Lower Bars Now Available in US!

Way back in March of 2005 I wrote a review of a great product that came from England, Go Lower Bars.

Here is an excerpt, but read the whole thing:

Folks, for long-time readers, you know that I usually can't abide low carb "bars." Most of them are just filled with maltitol, and I don't know how anyone can stand the consistency let alone the after effects; gas, bloating, etc. I have taken to eating nuts. I let my kids eat the Carbwell Cereal bars because they only have 3g of maltitol, but I wish they had none.

The employees at the Go Lower company from England read my site and said that they had low carb bars that I would like. Even though they currently don't distribute in the US, they kindly sent me some to try. All I can say is, "nirvana!" These things are the absolute best!

To my readers in England, run to try these out! And for those readers in the States, join me in begging them to distribute them over here! The Brits definitely have it over the Americans in the low carb bar department! For adults who are interested in health AND good taste, I haven't seen another product that even comes close.

Well, Andrew from Carbsmart just emailed me to tell me that he now carries these Go Lower bars in the US and they are available on his site (click here to order). These get my highest endorsement!

THANKS so much for sharing about these GoLower bars FINALLY coming to the United States. I remember when you first blogged about these bars, which made me curious about them, too. The first time I tried them, I was HOOKED!

Keep up the great work telling us about EXCELLENT low-carb products!

I try to live low carb, but that breads and pasta are my 'vices'. I want to tell you about something I have found, you may want to pass this along to your readers if they are carb lovers like me and occasionally endulge in more carbs than Atkins/Kimkins would recommend. There is a product that has gotten FDA structural function “OK”, it’s purpose is to nuetralize starchy foods/comfort foods like pasta, bread and potatoes, so that your body digests them as FIBER rather than SUGAR! and that is a good thing! It helps with 30-40% of those carbs. SO, you can’t have a loaf of bread, but you can have a dinner roll, or a sandwich or a healthy serving of pasta, and get a little help from Phase II. You can learn more about it at Phase2Info.com

Breads are the devil to me too! But these bars are awful and the feeling i have after eating them are nauseating. Maybe this will work? Thanks Anthony - http://gastric-bypass-network.com

Hey the office for the go lower bars is in edinburgh scotland where I live. The bars are nice but I still think they are a bit high in carb. The part where you said we have it good with the low carbing over here you are waaaaaaay wrong we have nothing and no supermarkets do any low carb stuff. Its very very difficult to find anything over here and usually I have to buy it from america.

Blue Bunny Ice Cream makes ice cream bars that are blackberry flavored...oh my god, they are good, and only 1 net carb! How did they do that?

I’m wondering what other people think. I’ve been doing some research on healthy eating and low carb diets in particular and came up with this one site called OpposingViews.com where there are debates by experts on various subjects. There is one debate called: “Are Low Carb Diets Healthy?”.
I like the idea that these people are experts in their fields, but this one guy says something that gives me pause. He says something to the effect that eating whole plant foods is associated with having good health but diets high in animal protein and fats are not. He also says that in a global sense, a sustained low carbohydrate diet which comes mainly from animal foods creates significant challenges for the planet and also other health issues for people such as antibiotic resistance.”
What do you think he means when he says that a diet which comes primarily from animal proteins is bad for the planet? That’s the first time I ever heard that. If you have time, take a look and let me know what you think by posting your comment. Thanks! http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/are-low-carb-diets-healthy

A great find, reading this blog, as I'm a carb-lover and have a hard time finding a good low carb bar.

@Cordelia: Whoa whoa whoa - blackberry flavored ice cream bars that only have 1g net carbs?

I was Googling low carb ice cream for an upcoming post, saw your comment, and I'm DESPERATELY searching for these! I don't think any stores in my area have them, but they sound so good I can seriously taste it melting in my mouth!

I've been doing the Atkins diet for a couple of weeks now. Do some reearsch on it! For the first 2 weeks you limit yourself to 20 grams of net carbs. You can stay at that rate until you're within 5-10 lbs of your goal weight and then increase your carb intake by 5 grams every week or two until you figure out how much your body can take in without gaining weight. Good luck.
