The Luna Bar website is quite an interesting place to go. A Luna Bar. Adults need all of these, but the blurbs say that women of childbearing age especially need folic acid to fend of neural tube birth defects and that women under 50 need 18g of iron per day, over 50 they need 8g. Here we take a look at wh at feeds your strength. And they are indeed doing some good things on that page, all by way of encouraging us to incorporate Luna Bars into our lifestyle.
Do I object to that broad kind of marketing? Not necessarily. In a capitalist economy the bar that can lodge itself into our brain and become associated with our healthy and active lifestyles is the bar that will do the best.
For me, I need to be cautious of my motives for purchasing things like this. If I like them too much, then they become regular parts of my diet when they only deserve to be occasional. Current project: a work-in-progress book on imperfect veganism. View all posts by Tracy I. Like Like.
These are delicious! There are protein bars out there that will give you 20g of protein or more. But 9g of protein? I started buying Luna bars for my kids for a quick snack at school that had a decent amount of protein to keep them satisfied, but without as many crappy ingredients.
I keep a few with me in my purse, in case a quick snack is needed by either them or me. Luna bars ranked as the worst nutrition bar on the market! Quest bars with 20g of protein ranked as the second best. Thanks for the link. They were completely and unremarkably fine. The breakfast, the snacks, the ostensibly healthy bars -- all loaded with sugar or some form of sugar substitute.
This, the packaging taught me, is because women are always thinking about dessert. That would make them fat. These snacks are attempts to approximate dessert without the calories. Not unless you eat double the portion at each sitting.
More than anything else, I needed variety going into Week Two. Seven days of eating out of wrappers made me desperate for something fresh. So when a friend mentioned a salad brand called Organic Girl , I knew I had to find it. Whole Foods had it. Organic Girl was everything I was looking for.
Not only because it was green, but because its girliness came with no justification -- neither the legitimate type vitamin fortification nor the fat-shaming type lower-than-normal calories.
It was also fantastic. Stuffing a plant into my face after a week of processed sludge felt like pressure-washing my insides. Special K egg-and-cheese breakfast sandwiches were a godsend, freeing me from the tyranny of a candified breakfast and standing in for a few dinners. But the real treats of the week were the two products I had to order by mail: beef jerky and trail mix.
The execution is more Hooters than Curves, though. Losing weight is all about making choices that you can live with for the long haul. And for me, having a Luna Bar in the morning is delicious, satisfying, and, most importantly, it works for me. Sure, making an egg white spinach omelet would also be healthy and tasty, but I work like crazy and have three kids, so time is always of the essence—and these bars are ready to go when I am.
