Hungry? Trying to Lose Weight? Try the New Forze GPS Hunger Control Bar
Since reading Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for Peak Performance, I have been interested in the Forze GPS Hunger Control bars, which are mentioned in the book. The Forze bars are designed to stimulate the production of a hormone called cholecystokinin (CKK), which sends a signal to the your brain telling you that you are full and should stop eating.
I had some trouble finding the Forze bars locally. The local store that was supposed to carry them didn’t have them on the shelf. Recently, Road Runner Sports had a one-day sale on a box of 10 bars for $14.99 (they normally retail for $19.99) and I bought some.
The studies that have been done on the Forze bars indicate that they give you a feeling of fullness for up to 3.5 hours. After having eaten a few of the bars, I can confirm that it does give me a feeling of fullness for 3-3.5 hours. Toward the end of that period, I would say that my stomach feels a little emptier, but I still don’t feel any sharp hunger pains.
The Forze bars taste good and have very few calories, only 160 calories per bar, much less than most other bars. The technology behind them is designed to provide maximum feeling of fullness with the lowest amount of calories. They are specifically designed for athletes, but could be a valuable tool for anyone looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
The bars come in four flavors: Chocolate Peanut Butter, Caramel Chocolate, Chocolate Decadence, and Cranberry Nut. They are made by Pacific Health Labs, the same folks who make the Accelerade and Endurox products.
If you can’t find Forze bars for sale locally, they can be found at Road Runner Sports and they are currently on sale (Aug. 13, 2010) on Amazon for the incredible price of a box of 10 bars for $1.75, plus shipping. At that price, they won’t last long! I bought three boxes.
