Did you try those zero-sugar candy bars (often labeled as protein bars)? They work quite well for me, no messing with GLP-1 necessary.

- j-conn 8mo agoWhich do you like? Barebells salty peanut and chocolate dough over here. Though the sugar alcohols certainly aren’t great for you either, I think they were recently linked to stroke risk
- bitwize 8mo agoMunk Pack is a good brand. They're like Kind bars but sweetened with allulose.
- amelius 8mo agoThanks for the link. I also hate the sugar alcohols. However: > But allulose isn’t approved for use in Canada or Europe. There, it’s considered a “novel food,” which means it hasn’t been available long enough for sufficient testing, according to those governments’ standards. > And it’s important to know that the FDA’s GRAS status doesn’t mean that allulose has been rigorously tested. > “We don’t have studies regarding the safety of allulose at this time,” Dr. Hazen shares. “But if it follows similar trends to what we see in some other sugar substitutes that are sugar alcohols like erythritol, I would suggest there’s reason to be cautious about how much of it you consume.” https://health.clevelandclinic.org/what-is-allulose https://health.clevelandclinic.org/what-is-allulose
- bitwize 8mo agoI don't consume more than like a few grams per day to sweeten things like coffee, as well as the 5g or so in a single Munk bar. I seem to tolerate it well.
- amelius 8mo agoI'm a Barebells Coco Choco "fan", though I'm aware of the stories around sugar alcohols. I think those bars are way too sweet anyway. They could use far less sweeteners. Would love to hear about more responsible options.
