It becomes obvious that there is far more to know about it as I expected. In my opinion you made some good points in your posting.

dios mio man! you got the doctor-guy to write in and defend his product. i thought for sure people would’ve flocked to my article about not being able to wait for 2012, but hey skinny is the new black, so i’ll let all the kids in on the secret(s): meth, energy drinks, over-exercise in bad neighborhoods, and last but not least: poverty.
hail satan!
(that’s right, i worship the devil now)

Thanks for the “provocative” write-up. I am intrigued at your skepticism at who I am, what I do, and what I have created. I am happy to engage you in a thoughtful discussion about the scientific basis of FullBar and related products that I have invented. And, based on our presence in over 35K stores, I think America has spoken loudly that “this works for them.” I AM a bariatric surgeon and have 3 nationally-recognized, centers of excellence. This is who I am and what I do. I am not a “scam artist” (as is implied) and I take all that I do as seriously as I do my consumers and patients. So, if you would like to discuss this at length, I would be honored to do so. I think the reality is far more compelling than the “simulated” controversy. Thanks for your time. Be well, Michael A. Snyder, MD, FACS, PC

Yes, I am THAT Mary Kohler. I only just read what you have written about me! Just the fact that you compared me to MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. brings me to tears. I could not be more humbled, especially since my thoughts have been with his Family and his Memory, especially, this being Black History Month.

Over the years, I have been asked by several different people to write a book. I have always felt it self-serving and folly. Do you agree or do tou think it has merit?

THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL,
Mary Kohler

I don’t think that Spencer disagrees that within a set balanced diet that Fulbars can achieve weight loss. I don’t speak for him, but guesstimate that he can see that any plan set within a balanced and aheard too diet will drop pounds.

What Spencer is in objection to is a world where people, who get their stomachs stapled to be smaller, are given a Fullbar to give them a full feeling, to help them limit their calories, and they get a bigger stomach as a result.

Of course any diet will work, but as Tiffany pointed out above, hardly any diets have long term effect besides drastically altering ones lifestyle.

Fullbars may work but to pitch them as a lose weight quick seems a bit shady.

They are working for me, although I am using them as a meal replacement because I don’t think it makes sense to eat 160 calories AND then eat a meal. Plus, I’m way too full to eat anything after I have the bar and 8 or more ounces of water.

I have to say that they really do make me feel very full for quite a while. I have to wait about 4 hours before I can even consider eating something after having one of these.

Sorry the writer disagrees so strongly. Did you try the Cocoa Chip ones? Maybe that would change your mind

I must admit I have not read the back of the box. (Yet, I will now) Sorry of the information seems redundant. I am not trying to advertise the product, and If you can get the same effect from an apple, by all means, eat an apple. That would be far better for you. Apples never worked this well for me so I will continue to use what works for me. Lost another 2 pounds this week!

Greg: Did you copy and paste the first part of your comment straight from the full bar website or did it come off of the back of the box?
