Author Topic: NOVUS BARS! (Read 4090 times)

Just because Chris throws a couple of dollars your way doesn't mean his products are worth a shit and you should not be spamming his products. It is already known his products have given members here the shits. I will stick with quality brands such as ON and Labrada.

Do they make you poop your pants?

I don't think AtLarge Nutrition puts out a lot of crappy products, but I personally stay away from most protein bars because they're loaded with sugar alcohols. So I have nothing against Chris Mason or his company - just not a "protein bar" kinda guy!

i've been giving out samples of the cookie dough bars both at work in the gym, to my clients, and i will be bringing some to the show of hands this saturday for everyone to try! I'll be honest... it's been very hard to put them aside for samples and not eat them like candy. VERY low carb, very filling, tastes FANTASTIC and they don't have the chalky taste that most meal replacement bars do and with 36 grams of protien..they deliver more bio-available macros than any other bar on the market that i've sampled! AWESOME BARS CHRIS! Also for those trying to watch their diet but are having a hard time giving up the sweet stuff like me.. i've been having a cookie dough bar as a replacement for cookies and candy bars with a glass of milk a day and it's much easier to leave the bad stuff be when i have these on hand. i keep a few in my office at work for when i can't make lunch with back to back clients and my girlfriend even has them stashed in her purse now whenever i get dragged along on "shopping trips" and start to get cranky from lack of food 6 hours in.. guys i know you know what i'm talking about!

no chris doesn't pay me..but i am one of the ALN athletes and get product samples to try and only try the ones i'm interested in. I've yet to meet anyone that didn't like anything they've made after giving it a shot to date. I'm a big protien bar guy just because i'm also so damned busy wiht work and LOVE this.. i used to eat the big100 bars but didn't like how chalky they got but they tasted better than anything else i tried until i got my hands on these bars. Trust me, if i didn't like them, i wouldn't bad mouth them, but i wouldn't advocate them either. Even my clients that have particular stomachs are having zero issues with these. definately worth a try..

Sugar alcohols can cause intestinal discomfort, but said effects vary with the individual and type of sugar alcohol. Maltitol is not quite as bad from my experience as some others and that is the primary form in Novus bars. In fact, maltitol may have some health promoting effects.

On a personal note, I had tried some bars that had sugar alcohols in them and I DID have issues, but NOT with our Novus bars.

In addition, I have sponsored more than one Getbig contest, and unlike some of the sponsors I actually have sent the products to the winners when provided what they want and their addresses. So, I think someone mentioning a new product of ours on this site is not out of line.

If you want to promote here I believe you should post a lab assay of your Novus bar. I am skeptical about whats actually in some products.

LAB ASSAY?

Otherwise I will continue to place your Novus bar in the GARBAGE category.

you'd be the only one i've ever met to say that.. everyone that got to try the samples at the grip comp loved it and had alot of requests for other aln product samples or even if i had some one hand to purchase at that moment. I shoudl've went more prepared. People were eating them and those interested were taking results, trying opticen for those who didnt' get a chance to have breakfast, etc. Not a single person said anything negative nor did i find any aln products that didnt' get finished in the sample cups. I asked for actual critical feedback and the only negative comment i got was that i didn't bring anything but chocolate...

go figure.

LAB ASSAY OR STOP SPAMMING THIS GARBAGE. MY GUESS IS THAT THE LABEL IS ALL BULLSHIT AND ITS FULL OF SUGAR!!!!!!

thewickedtruth · « **Reply #20 on:** April 17, 2009, 12:06:15 PM »

again if you're in the DFW area and would like to try a sample of any of the ALN products that I have on hand feel free to pm me and i'd be glad to hook ya'll up..

a few people have sent me text messages, pm's, and phone calls commenting on how they liked the novus bars from the meet and wondered if i actually carried any on hand to buy them up now..

Why?

It's still 28 grams sugar alcohols which causes stomach distress/discomfort in a lot of people.

Mmmmmm!!! maltitol, sorbitol....

elite_lifter · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2009, 07:27:05 PM »

These bars are shit and I am sure of this because Chris Mason the owner of AtLarge Nutrition refuses to post a lab assay of the contents of this bar. Any legit compnay would not be fearful of publishing this information. This bar probably is comparable to a snickers bar and I am sure a snickers is more nutritionally sound. So what Chris, you offered $50.00 in free supplements, your cost probably nil, to the winner of a pull-up contest and now you think you have the right to advertise here, get lost, lets bring this issue up with Ron!!!!!!

thewickedtruth · « **Reply #24 on:** April 23, 2009, 08:33:15 AM »

i'll keep fielding pm's as they come.. just keep them rolling guys! if you're curious about hte bars or other sample products feel free to pm me as well and whatever i have on hand i'll be more than happy to send out your way for you to try.
