My main goal is weight loss (350lbs) and I have had success in the past by eating protein bars(2) (Kirkland brand) and 2 pieces of fruit during the day and a balanced meal at night. I would like to try finbars but I am not sure if they are appropriate at this time. I am moderately active, lifting, walking, swimming and stationary bike.
Thanks!
They will provide nutrition just fine, but that is a VERY low protein diet no matter what bar you eat. Super low calorie too. Given you are 350lbs now and lost wieght in the past, I imagine you regained to 350. Do you have a more sustainable approach you intend to employ after a drastic approach like this?

I am just doing this to kick start my weight loss for a couple of months, it’s my version of a velocity diet which provides plenty of protein but, I have failed at shakes only in the past and this has worked. I was considering adding 2 shakes on top of this to up the protein with minimal calories. I did maintain a 100lb weight loss for 5 years mainly by doing hot yoga and staying out of bars! My sustainable approach is not drinking alcohol during the week which derails my otherwise healthy approach of a “Green faces” diet I saw on this site a few years ago.
Thanks for your response

The velocity diet does, yes, because it’s a lot of high protein shakes. 2 Costco bars is 40g of protein. Unless your balanced dinner at night is 2+lbs of steak, this is going to clock in pretty low.

Some interesting thoughts on a hybrid Velocity Diet approach here.
