what part of the diet are the nature valley bars supposed to fill? if fiber, then no. they contain very small amounts and are high in sugar. they're essentially candy bars. what you need to do is try a more balanced diet. breakfast could be something like bran cereal or maybe special k with a banana or strawberries, unsweetened oats or cream of wheat with some fruit. or even 2 eggs and whole wheat toast. pretty much anything in bar or shake form you can buy at the supermarket is gonna be crap food. not that you cant ever eat it, but thinking of it as a regular part of a healthy diet is misleading.
Sebani, try to eat a balanced breakfast (complex corbohydrates, and some kind of low fat protein). Throughout the day you need to be eating small meals. The other thing is that you need to be incorporating weights into your exercise regime. The weight lifting will give you a longer lasting fat burning effect. Your muscles will attrophy and in effect your body will start to use your muscle tissue and not your fatty tissue, which if you're burning your fatty tissue it will be used as energy too. Back to the eating you should be eating every 3-5 hours, this will make your body more efficient.
For example your daily meals may look like this:
Breakfast- raw grainy cereal (oatmeal), yogurt or whey protein.
Snack- yogurt or cheese, a piece of fruit (apple, banana)
Lunch- Tuna in a pita or flatbread wrap (don't be afraid to be creative with your tuna)
Snack- whey protein, yogurt
Dinner- Chicken or turkey, vegetables
Snack- yogurt or whey protein
Don't be afraid to eat, the more little meals, the more fat you will burn, you will see the results. The thing about the food is that it should be as pure and unprocessed as possible. The reason for your food to be pure and raw is that your body is working to breaking it down and digest it, thus your body is doing a workout while it is digesting your food. Hydrogenated oils are your worst enemy. In fact avoid oils altogether. The way I think of processed foods is that do I want some stranger or machine preparing my foods. The other thing that is important to remember think brown (sugars and grains). Try to avoid eating fruits and carbohydrates in the afternoon. If you are hungry eat some more protein, and drink a lot of water.
