A Rugged Elegance Inspiration Network Exclusive by Timothy Fredel
Healthy living is a natural part of the lifestyle in San Francisco. Many people here are following low-carb diets such as the Zone diet. One of the biggest challenges in following a carb-reduced diet is finding convenient between meal snacks. BALANCE bars are a common solution to this dilemma providing the Zone-recommended mix of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 30% fat.
The downside to the BALANCE bars is that they can cost up to $2 per bar when you buy just one in a convenience store. You can buy BALANCE bars by the box in locations such as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and Costco. Typically, you pay about $18.99 for a box of fifteen or about $1.26 per bar.
For those of you who want even more convenience, you can now find a box of BALANCE bars at Amazon.com for $13.99 or $0.93 per bar. You can qualify for free shipping if you order two or more boxes at a time, which puts you over the $25 free shipping threshold. When checking out, make sure to select the "Free Super Saver Shipping" option.
Eat right. Live better.
