| January 2007 What's most important for weight loss and nutrition is the ratio of protein to carbs," said the New York nutritionist and chiropractor Richard Kowal. "The optimal ratio is one-to-one, and I've got just the bar!" he enthused. The one he recommends to his patients is the Proti-Bar, made by Bariatrix, a Canadian company. The Caramel Nut Proti-Bar exudes 15 grams of carbohydrates and 15 grams of protein. It's also the best-tasting of the enormous field because it's neither rampant with eraser dust and crushed quartz nor throat-burningly sweetened to cover up the chalk and minerals. As a postmodern plus, there's no wrapper cant extolling the manufacturer's virtue. In fact, there's nothing on the wrapper at all except name and ingredients. And you don't need a prescription to get it. |
