Thanks for the warning. That photo of the box of SlimFast bars brought back memories. 😬

You and me both! Wild to look back now and see what passed as “healthy”. I appreciate you reading!

Excellent review, Brittany! My thought: How did David get his fine physique? By rigorous activity and eating ONLY NATURAL FOODS. ;-)

the food industry keeps changing the names and descriptions of the ingredients we are trying to avoid

Gutsy review! Vibrant energy is acquired through sustained hard work and nutritional awareness, not bought in a pretty wrapper.

Absolutely. No one single product or food is the key to health.

I don't think of this as a diet product - I imagine the people who buy these are more interested in muscle hypertrophy than weight loss. I also kinda like the embrace of food science here, and the focus on nutrients, rather than on minimizing the ingredients list.
