NuGo Goes to India

December 28th, 2011

Mat Zucker posted this great photo and message on our Facebook page about his recent trip to India.

Thanks NuGo – we just did 3 weeks in India and I can’t eat Indian Food (food allergies! I know, ridiculous) but one thing I can eat is NuGo Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip so I brought 27 with me. Here was my stash 1/2 way through the trip. Really helped me survive and enjoy a great adventure. Thanks!”

Seriously, Nugo bars are my new favorite food/thing in the world. The first one I tried was the chocolate pretzel with sea salt when I was upstate over the weekend and I literally had to hold back tears this thing was so good. It seems that something that good could never be healthy, but they are definitely Jen (that’s me) approved. Every bite had a touch of sea salt and if you are crazy about salty/sweet combo’s, these will swoon you.”
Jen at NuGo Obsession

The Chocolate pretzel bar is the best chocolate bar I’ve ever tasted Perfect texture, Perfect salty sweet combo.
James

I have to restrain myself from eating too many chocolate pretzel bars — they are that good. I’m so appreciative of a vegan protein bar that tastes so freaking good!!!
Carney

That is the best bar ever created.”
Jan

Dark Chocolate Pretzel with Sea Salt rocked my socks off after a define body class. The sea salt was something you never see in a protein bar, and it definitely enhanced the flavor. 10g of protein is nothing to shake your head at either.”
Elizabeth at Don’t White Sugar-Coat It

For around 200 calories, the dark chocolate mint, salted pretzel and chocolate chip are an amazing, healthy, perfect snack. If you are a fan of the salty, sweet combo, the salted pretzel flavor will be your absolute favorite!”

Do Artificial Sweeteners Help You Lose Weight?

November 27th, 2011

Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen posted this fascinating article, “Sugar vs. Artificial Sweeteners: Which Is Healthier and Safer?” on the RealAge YOU Docs Daily blog. The two popular doctors coauthored the best-selling YOU books. If you are eating foods with artificial sweeteners, they can have a negative impact on your health and may actually cause you to gain weight, not lose weight!

In fact, sweeteners have been studied far more than most drugs (there’ve been at least 100 studies on sucralose/Splenda alone). The problem is that they subtly mess with how you react to food.

Sometimes it’s a mind game. For instance, diet sodas can cloud common sense, making you think your no-cal drink “cancels out” the fat calories in burgers and fries.

Sometimes they make you eat more, not less. Because no-cal sweeteners essentially don’t register in your brain’s satiety center, instead of satisfying a sweet craving they can send you hunting for something else . . . and then something else. They also train your taste buds to go PING only when they detect intense sweetness.

Sometimes there’s something going on no one even understands yet. Recent Texas research has linked drinking diet soda to bigger waists — 70% bigger than in people who didn’t touch the stuff. “Huh?” That’s what we said. More to come on this. But Dr. Mike, who used to drink a daily diet cola (or six), is glad he gave ‘em all up over a year ago.”

There’s also evidence that fake sugars and diet sodas don’t help you lose weight, and up your risk of metabolic syndrome, which precedes diabetes, heart disease, and more. So it’s hard to be enthusiastic about them.”

NuGO Slim Sample PackDr. Oz and Dr. Roizen recommend significantly cutting back on sugar and eating dark chocolate and fruit as desserts. With NuGO Slim high protein bars, you can enjoy REAL dark chocolate in a low sugar, all-natural snack with no artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. We are sure Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen would approve!

The Magic Spell in NuGO Slim

November 16th, 2011

We received so many great reviews of NuGO Slim almost sugar-free high protein bars, but this new review from Mary at Fervent Foodie is one of our favorites.

What’s ASTOUNDING about these bars is the taste. Apparently the folks at NuGo concocted some sort of magic spell that makes 2 grams of sugar sufficient without the need for fake sugars or sugar alcohols. 

Let me repeat. These bars taste GREAT and they only have 2g of sugar. Real sugar, not the fake crap. My world has been rocked.

The magic spell she is referring to is Real dark chocolate and chicory root. We discovered this revolutionary potion, which allows us to make a delicious low sugar protein bar without artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. Fervent Foodie describes the bad aftertaste and gastric problems associated with sugar alcohols.

Every low sugar bar I’ve tried to date has come up short. Quest Bars, Think Thin Bars, Atkins Bars… all absolutely horrible in my opinion. The most common failures for these low sugar bars are the texture and that horrible taste fake sugars give things. Blegh! I hate that… just thinking about it makes my teeth hurt! Not to mention that the sugar alcohols always seem to upset my stomach and make me regret eating the low sugar bar in the first place.

Mary wrote that she has searched for years to find a tasty low sugar bar since she is hypoglycemic. We are delighted that Mary has finally found her magic treasure!
