Customer Reviews

"I have been using this product with two other products that were suggested to me by a fitness/health expert. You have to understand that you just can't take the pills and expect miracles.
 

You have to induce your body into Homostasis (hope the spelling is correct) to really make this work for you. If you don't do this, you will have a tougher time making things happen. Homostasis is when you feed the body throughout the day, which in turn let's you body know that it doesn't have to store fat. It will not store as much fat, because it knows that it is getting food at a continual basis. Eat 4 small meals/snacks a day and a dinner that is fairly normal, normal being what you typically eat. Mind the fact that you need to keep everything in moderation... " - By S. Lockhart "Average Guy" (USA)

Customer Reviews


"I love this Whey Protein! It really tastes great, I usually mix it with vanilla soy milk or 2% milk and it tastes great either way. I have been using this for a few weeks and have noticed my muscles getting harder and bigger (with light workouts) and am very happy with the results so far. I have been drinking between 1 and 2 shakes a day, usually 1. The great thing about this shake is I have it before bed sometimes (I work out a little before bed) and it fills that sweet craving a lot of people have before bed. Great thing too is that it has very low calorie and carb content compared to some shakes. As others have said, it does change the way your bowel movements smell (gives them a distinct smell) not a terrible one but a distinct one. I know this is kind of gross but I thought I would let people know. Another issue (that isn't that big of a deal) when I bought this it was ~50 bucks at GNC but now they are having a sale on these older flavors (I think rich double chocolate etc are..."

Clif Bar Builder’s Bar, Chocolate Peanut Butter

Clif Bar Builder’s Bar, Chocolate Peanut Butter, 2.4-Ounce Bars, Pack of 12


Clif Builder’s will fuel your muscles with added protein, especially when your day requires a little extra oomph. When work feels like a workout.


Product Details

  •     Pack of 12, 2.4-ounce peanut butter protein bars (28.8 total ounces)
  •     High-protein bar made with 20 grams of the best quality soy and nut proteins
  •     Made with 100% natural, 30-35% certified organic ingredients, free of trans fats, hydrogenated oils, and high fructose corn syrup
  •     Includes 23 vitamins and minerals, and no GMOs


Reviews

"Plain and simple, these Builder's Bars are one of the best tasting protein bars you can get. They are crispy and chewy at the same time and they aren't super sweet like a candy bar. And at 2.4 ounces a piece they are large enough and filling enough to be a meal replacement.

And the one thing that I really like is that when I read the ingredients, I actually know what the stuff is! Nothing weird or unnatural, just real ingredients!

Out of the four flavors available (Chocolate Mint, Peanut Butter, Chocolate, Cookies `n Cream) I prefer the Chocolate Mint and Peanut Butter, mainly because they taste even less like a protein bar. I'm not saying the plain Chocolate and Cookies 'n Cream are bad tasting, just that I prefer the taste of the Chocolate Mint and Peanut Butter ones (they are all really tasty).

These are just awesome, 100% natural, high protein, real ingredients, and they taste great! I just love them!" - By J. Brooks (Nampa, Idaho United States)

Customer Reviews

"I have both the soft and medium eggcersizer and both work well. I usuaaly use the soft green egg in the morning when my hands are quite stiff and sore and switch to the medium blue egg in the afteroon. " - By Daniac (NY, USA)

"I bought the medium and the extra soft. The medium is almost a bit firm for a woman's hand, but is a definite work-out and has increased my strength. The extra soft is just what someone else said, like a big gooey gum drop. It's addicting to use and keeps my hands busy without fatiguing them. It doesn't work as a great hand work-out for increasing strength but it will reduce stiffness. I like it (the extra soft) because I wanted one to keep me from picking my fingernail beds, which is a bad habit of mine. I use it at home and take it everywhere with me. The medium I use for a short time each day at home to increase strength. They are not too sticky and seem to hold up well. " - By veggiess (Minneapolis, MN)

  •     20 Vitamins & Minerals
  •     Lactose Free


Customer Reviews

"I review supplements that I have a great familiarity with and have used in comparison with others in its genre. I have been working out for about 3-4 years now and have used a variety of protein shakes on the market. For guys who are not born genetically able to build rapid muscles without a strict diet plan, gaining size in muscle is extremely difficult.

With MuscleMilk, i'm just going to jump straight to the point. If you're looking to build muscle fast along with your regular workouts, I strongly recommend this product. It'll put the weight on you faster than anything i've ever used. However, beware of the calorie content in Muscle Milk. I haven't found it to be exactly a "lean formula" as it promises, but it does help add on some extra pounds for building muscle on the other hand.

If you're a hardgainer, go for MuscleMilk. If you're looking for a protein to help you build muscle but keep a very lean, cut frame, then I recommend Nature's Best Isopure (if your... " - By Daris McInnis (TX)


"This is a really good product. Being a gym owner and trainer in Southern Calif. for over 20 years I've seen and used a few products and this one ranks near the top. Most of the fats are M.C.T.s and are used for energy, not to make it taste better! Protein NEEDS fat to be properly utilized by the body!The carbs and sugars are low, which make this a true LEAN GAINER. Keep your protein high ,your carbs moderate and get some good healthy fats like flax or fish oil and you've got the diet to grow some muscle with.

Customer Reviews

"Being a person who hasn't ever joined a gym, I never knew stuff like this existed. I was very interested in this item because I've been walking for exercise but wasn't really sure I was reaching my target heart rate consistently.

The monitor, which displays the time as well as your heart rate on a watch, works in conjuction with a gizmo that you strap around yourself, just under your chest. (I will tell you, since I was concerned about this, that it's hardly noticeable once it's in place...it's a 12" or so long piece of plastic with an adjustable elastic strap...not very bulky at all!) The monitor also features a stopwatch and an alarm, so that after you set your minimum & maximum desired heart rates, you can be alerted when you are out of range. The alarm is a "beep-beep" that I can hear over the book on tape I drag along with me. Your heart rate is updated every second or two so you will always know if you need to pick up the pace a bit.

Although I have..." - By Favorite Children's Books (FLA USA)
