From Michael, Fullbar creator:

In working at my nationally recognized Bariatric Center of Excellence, I came to realize that there was a gap in what I could provide to people. Sure, I was treating those who had severe obesity, but what about everyone else?

Now fast forward 4 years and over 50 formula changes later! Together with a food scientist, we created Fullbar, which uses the same principles in weight-loss surgery to help you lose weight. Fullbar's all natural ingredients help increase the sense of fullness that you feel before your main meal so that you eat what you want, but not as much. You still achieve appetite satisfaction, but with less food. When you don't have hunger pains, dieting is easier and you lose weight. Click here to view our TV ad that tells you more about how weight-loss surgery works and how Fullbar uses those same principles.

We put Fullbar to the test and found that after a 3-month weight-loss study, people lost an average of 40% of their excess weight and 95% of trial participants were successful in losing weight!*

Fullbar - The Weight Loss Method that Works and that you can AFFORD!

In fact, you may even SAVE MONEY by using Fullbar. The Fullbar formula is a simple one. Enjoy a Fullbar and 8-16 ounces of water 30 minutes before you are going to eat a meal. After eating your Fullbar, you will be more in control of your hunger and already starting to feel fuller. When you feel full, you eat less. When you eat less, you lose weight. With Fullbar you can eat real food; you will just want to eat less of it, and you will lose weight.

How much less am I going to eat?

During trial studies, 95% of the people who had 10 or more pounds to lose lost an average of 11.5 pounds in 12 weeks. A pound represents 3500 calories. That means that participants had about 40,250 calories in weight lost! They ate 12 Fullbars per week and ate them for 12 weeks at an average of 170 calories each. That means they ate an additional 24,480 calories in bars alone. The trial members lost the calories of the Fullbar AND the weight lost. They lost a whopping 64,730 calories!! Fullbar use displaces a lot of calories - those from the bars themselves in addition to calories not eaten due to the feeling of fullness before meals.

How much would eating those 64,730 calories cost?

If you were to eat those calories in a restaurant or from a fast food window the savings would really add up fast!

64,730 calories is like eating:

• 231 6" Subway sandwiches around $4 and 280 calories each - that would cost you $925
• 76 servings of lasagna from Olive Garden around $6 and 858 calories each - that would cost you $528
• 124 Chicken Taco Salads around $5 and 520 calories each - that would cost you $620
• 432 servings of Chinese Beef with Broccoli around $5 and 150 calories each - that would cost you $2,158

Even if you did your best to prepare meals at home with items bought from your local grocery store the savings of using Fullbar shows in your wallet and on your waistline!

64,730 calories is like eating:

• 380 4 oz. servings of lean ground beef around $0.28/oz and 170 calories - that would cost you $426
• 1078 servings of Starkist Solid White Albacore canned tuna around $0.73/serving and 60 calories - that would cost you $787
• 239 servings of Barilla Spaghetti Noodles with Ragu Tomato Sauce flavored with meat around $0.69/serving and 270 calories - that would cost you $523
• 963 servings of Progressive Light Chicken Noodle Soup around $1.50/serving and 70 calories - that would cost you $1387
• 674 servings of Yoplait fat free yogurt around $0.75/serving and 100 calories - that would cost you $485
• 269 South Beach Frozen Kung Pau Chicken meals around $3.25/serving and 250 calories - that would cost you $841
• 210 Lean Cuisine Frozen lasagna meals around $2.50 and 320 calories - that would cost you $525
• 337 servings of Special K Red Berry Cereal with a serving of fat free milk around $0.49/serving and 200 calories - that would cost you $316

144 Fullbars could cost you $288. That small investment toward reaching your weight loss goals will more than pay for itself in food not eaten as you can see!

The biggest challenge to any weight-loss diet or program is controlling hunger and cravings. Weight-loss surgery works as a hunger-management tool so that when an individual who has had surgery eats, he or she feels full on much less food. This fullness leads to appetite satisfaction, so that he or she is much less inclined to overeat. Thus, he or she loses weight.

This is why bariatric surgery is so successful at helping people lose weight. Consider this: Dr. Snyder, Fullbar's creator, has performed more than 2000 surgeries and has helped people lose almost 150,000 collective pounds! If surgery is so effective as a hunger-management tool, can a product be created that has the same effect without surgery?

Fullbar works on the same principle; it is a hunger management tool. When you eat a bar before a main meal, you feel full and thus eat less of your main meal, yet still feel the appetite satisfaction we all crave after a meal. It is a simple and healthy tool that doesn't need any potentially health compromising weight-loss additives to be effective.

Dr. Snyder and Dr. Robert Lothrop, our food scientist, worked for over 4 years to develop Fullbar with the following principles:

• Fullbar uses normal everyday natural food ingredients which, in combination, have a significant effect on fullness (click here for the bar ingredients and be sure to click the nutrition facts link for each bar flavor)
• Fullbar is not designed to suppress appetite...the ingredients, when put in the stomach, simply have the affect of telling your brain that it is full.
• Fullbar is not designed to increase metabolism...its a hunger management tool.

Fullbar is not like any other diet because its not a diet! It simply helps you eat less of your main meals, so you successfully loose weight, yet still achieve appetite satisfaction. No more diets that keep you from sharing valuable meal time with your friends and family, these are important moments in your full life!

Fullbar is best eaten 12 times per week. This plan allows for two bars per day on each of the weekdays, Monday through Friday. Then you can choose one of the following:

• Two bars on one of the weekend days and none on the other weekend day or
• One bar on Saturday and one bar on Sunday.

Either of these plans will allow you to get a recommended "break for cheats" on Saturday and/or Sunday.

So, to help you understand how we arrive at a 3-month supply of 144 Fullbars: at 12 bars per week (10 bars from Monday through Friday and 2 bars on the weekend), that is 48 bars per month, and 144 bars for 3 months.

Plan some cheats! Perfect is boring and cannot be maintained. If you allow for reasonable cheats, you will not be overwhelmed by your temptations. No impulse eating is required. You will KNOW that you are supposed to cheat on the planned days and times!

This is a recommended program that we find works well for people. but feel free to experiment and adjust the use of Fullbar to your partcular needs. Some people have told us that they use Fullbar as a snack in-between meals to help them with their food cravings.

Fullbar was not originally designed as a meal-replacement bar. We do not fortify it with ingredients to approximate or replace a meal. Its main purpose is to help increase the sense of fullness that you feel before your main meal so that you eat what you want, but not as much. You still achieve appetite satisfaction, but with less food. When you don't have hunger pains, dieting is easier.

Dr. Snyder, the Fullbar creator, performs weight-loss surgeries to help people control their hunger. Thus, they eat less and lose weight. He designed Fullbar to control hunger, the same way as in weight-loss surgery, but without the surgery. It is comprised of natural ingredients to help give you a sense of fullness.

People do tell us that they use Fullbar as a meal replacement or as a snack in-between meals to help control cravings. You can decide for yourself how best to use Fullbar.

Our food scientist, Robert, is the best person to answer this question.

Research regarding satiety shows that it is not simply achieved by eating a fiber source such as bran; there needs to be a combination of ingredients to provoke the response (this would be one reason why after drinking a fiber supplement, one does not feel satisfied). The combination of ingredients is: a fiber source, a protein source, shear bulk with low calories as well as water. This combination has the best effect in specific ratios which we have perfected here at FullBar™. So, yes it is much different than eating some bran and water before a meal, plus it tastes much better.

We did a weight-loss study with Fullbar that was 3 months long. On average, 95% of the people in the study lost weight, with the average weight loss being 11 pounds. We want you to have the same kind of success and recommend using Fullbar over the same period of time to get the benefits experienced by the people in our study.

We will give you three different perspectives on the use of Fullbar.

• From a Diabetic who tried Fullbar;
• From Dr. Michael A. Snyder, Fullbar creator and a Bariatric Surgeon, who has a great deal of experience in managing carbohydrate issues and diabetes in his weight-loss patients;
• And, from Robert Lothrop, Fullbar's developer and food scientist.

From Debbie, Age 40 years old. Type I Diabetes Mellitus, insulin dependent**:

In summary, your bars are GREAT! I have found that I take 1.5 units of insulin w/each bar. My ratio for carb to insulin is 1:15 in the afternoon and evening. Your bar has the same effect on my blood sugar as a large fuji apple. I took the same amount of insulin for a large apple (1.5 units). I think the bar is more filling than an apple. I just wanted you to know, I eat a bar once a day at breakfast. I take 2 units in the morning to cover my blood sugar. I even have a bar for a snack at school for lunch. Your bars are the best. They are not sugary, they don't leave me craving other carbs after I eat them. All other bars have to much sugar in them, thus leaving more hungry after I eat the bar. I like all the flavors. I really don't consider your bars, bars. I consider them food. I think that is the biggest difference to me. They are great for any diabetic. Just FYI, for any other bar I eat at lunch or dinner, I always, always take 2 units per bar. Your bar, I only take 1.5 units. I think it is the fiber that helps with the lower intake of insulin w/the Fullbar. I also send the bars in my kids backpacks. My daughter said she has given many bars to her friends. They all seem to enjoy them as well. I really think you guys are on to something great. Good luck. Below is my blood sugar numbers for the bar/apple blood sugar comparision. I used a large fuji apple.

Here is my information comparing and showing the impact of the apple and the FullBar on me, each with 1.5 units of regular insulin to manage thecarbohydrate impact:

• Day 1 BAR
  12:15p: blood sugar before eating the bar: 110
  1.5 units Reg insulin taken
  2:15p: blood sugar: 107
• Day 2 BAR
  12:45p: blood sugar before eating the bar: 127
  1.5 units Reg insulin taken
  2:40p: blood sugar: 133
• Day 3 APPLE
  11:46a: blood sugar before eating apple: 128
  1.5 units Reg insulin taken
  1:40p: blood sugar: 136
• Day 4 APPLE
  12:55p blood sugar before eating apple: 87
  1.5 units Reg insulin taken
  2:55p: blood sugar: 76

From Dr. Michael A. Snyder

Although not specifically formulated for diabetics, in America today, many people who suffer from diabetes have weight issues. So, it goes to follow that controlling one¹s weight is often a cornerstone of diabetes treatment. We have shown in our clinical trials that people who used Fullbar for 3 months have an average of 42% loss of excess body weight. If you feel that this would be beneficial to you, then by all means discuss this with your primary MD and consider trying it. People who have tried it have told us that the money they save from their appetite control more than makes up for the money spent on the bars. See our web site for an itemization of the all-natural and Kosher contents--www.fullbar.com. Also, this will allow you to calculate the effect on your sugars with consumption, noting that you will most likely be eating fewer calories and effective carbs with the bars¹ use. I think that you will be pleased. The results of our marketing efforts have been very strong nationally. People WANT this type of control. And satisfaction is very high!!

From our Food Scientist, Robert Lothrop

Most pieces of fruit have about 15 grams of carbohydrates; for instance an average apple has about 14 grams of carbohydrates of which 11 grams are sugar. Most diabetic patients are eating an apple every now and then. A piece of bread has about the same.

The following Fullbar flavors do not contain meat, chicken, fish or dairy (do contain honey):

• Peanut Butter Crunch
• Cocoa Chip
• Cranberry Almond
• Fresh Berry Bliss

The following are suitable for Lacto and Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians, as these bars do contain dairy product (Zesty Lemon Lime also contains honey):

• Caramel Apple Crunch
• Zesty Lemon Lime

We do not add processed sugar to Fullbar. The sugar in a Fullbar, which is about as much as an apple, are natural sources of sugar such as brown rice syrup, agave syrup and honey.

Some of the individual ingredients in the bars, such as the dried cranberries, the chocolate chips and the caramel, have small amounts of processed sugar.

If you would like a bar without any form of processed sugar, the Peanut Butter Crunch bar is for you!

Fullbar is simple and safe and although it uses the same principles as weight-loss surgery, it is not a replacement. Dr. Snyder originally designed this product to broaden his reach and be of help to those who are not candidates for surgery and common guidelines apply. If you have a BMI of 40 or higher, surgery may be a good option for you (What is BMI?). Surgery eliminates a time factor that may be necessary to control diseases like diabetes and other severe obesity health risks. Still, Fullbar can be there for you in recovery, as it has been used by post-op patients as a tool to control hunger. Use Fullbar well and make the right choice for you and your needs and as always consult your doctor.
