Food Bars and Meal-Replacement Shakes

Dr. Diana Schwarzbein shares her views on food bars and protein shakes or other types of liquid shakes as meal replacements. 
.They are not real food.
.They do not contain healthy ingredients.
.They are not a balanced meals; they either have too many carbohydrates or too many proteins.
.They usually are filled with refined or artificial sugars.
.They usually contain too much salt.
.They are poor sources of protein.
.They contain damaged fats and another toxic chemicals.
.They go through your digestive system and enter your bloodstream too quickly, causing unwanted hormonal fluctuations.

However, if you can find food bars that do not contain chemicals and are made from healthy foods, you may eat them as a snack as long as you balance them with the food groups that are missing.
