Hullo there again , MakeMeThinner Forum Readers ~

Chocolate Divine Bars have not only been reformulated, they are also renamed. They are now called Chocolate Bars.

The Chocolate Mints have become Chocolate Mint Madness and the Lemon Fantasy are Crunchy Lemon Fantasy bars.

Here’s the latest update from TSFL regarding the reformulation of the meal replacement bars.

Newly formulated Bars Now in an Order on their Way to You!

In addition to the new Beef Vegetable Stew and Vanilla Pudding that we introduced the week of October 16th, we are excited to announce that we are in the process of reformulating our bars to improve them; and the delicious new Medifast Chocolate Bar and new Oatmeal Raisin Bar are now being shipped in all orders.

The Chocolate Bar is crunchy and has soy crispies in it, giving it a chocolatey, crunchy texture. This new bar has NO High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in it.

Likewise, the Oatmeal Raisin Bar tastes similar to an Oatmeal Raisin cookie with a delightful coating on it, and it too has NO HFCS.

Medifast recently adjusted the recipes of the Medifast bars to improve the overall taste and flavor. The recipe change has slightly affected the texture and size of the bars, so it is normal if your most recent shipment of bars looks and tastes a little different than what you've enjoyed previously.

Questions about the High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in our bars???

Here are the answers!

Medifast is committed to providing great tasting, healthy foods using only the highest quality ingredients. As noted above, Medifast is currently working to reformulate its line of Medifast bars to provide a better source of carbohydrate.

Therefore, we will be removing High Fructose Corn Syrup from all bars.
While the current bars have only a very minimal amount of HFCS and no trans fat, the new bars will contain no HFCS, no trans fat, will be slightly lower in total carbohydrate and will also have more protein and fiber.

The new Chocolate Bar and the new Oatmeal Raisin bars now shipping do NOT have HFCS (they are the NEW formulation!).

The rest of our delicious bars will be available without the HFCS sometime after the first of the year.

We encourage your feedback on these new bars and hope that you enjoy these great tasting, new and improved bars!"

There you have it, Folks – we have eaten and sampled out our first box of the Chocolate Bars.

The consensus is

We orderd more because we like 'em!
We gave some to our neighbors for Halloween treats!

re: Take Shape For Life website and the IT System.
As many of you know, TSFL implemented a new computer system on August 1, 2006. It presented ‘issues’ for us all so…over this last weekend of October 28th-30th, TSFL reverted to its original platform. Thus said, we expect that some of you will have trouble logging onto the TSFL Shopping site as the system may be down intermittently.

Some of you are new TSFL clients, joining us since August 1st - TSFL is feverishly working to enter your data into the current computer system. There will no longer be ‘usernames’ rather each client will have a computer-generated ID number and a client-selected password.

Long-time clients may also have trouble logging in; your ID number remained has remained the same as it was but your password may be wonky. If so, contact your Health Advisor or a call rep at TSFL’s Call Center to assist you with your ordering process.

Their number is (800) 572-4417

Here’s to living healthfully ever after!

Thanks for the opportunity to try the new crunchy chocolate bar, Nancy. Mike and I have ordered some (and the Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Mint Madness, and Crunchy Lemon Fantasy bars). I'm totally psyched!! I thought I was in heaven when they figured out how to give the caramel nut bar the texture of actual caramel, but now crunchies in the chocolate bar! Such blissful healthiness!!
