You’ve probably seen the advertisements for the new diet bars sold under the brand Fullbar®, which were developed by Dr. Michael A. Snyder, a weight loss surgeon. According to Dr. Snyder’s website, people who eat two of these bars every day lose an average of 40% of their excess body weight in just three months.

Do they really work?

There’s really only two ways to find out -

• spend almost $200 to buy a case of real FullBar cookies all wrapped up in fancy wrappers,

• or just make some yourself.

You can find my recipe for “Fake FullBars” here. They use the same ingredients as the real ones, but cost a fraction of the price of Dr. Snyder’s diet bars.

And after you try your first batch, come back here and tell us if they worked. And we’d like to know what you think of the real FullBar diet bars too, if you’ve already tried them.  So far, the reviews of the real FullBar diet bars on the blogosphere have been mixed – so we’d really appreciate your opinion.
