began taking these bars about 6 weeks ago. They seem fantastic to have such a high protein and lo carb content. The chocolate bars taste pretty good too. Only trouble is, I've had a couple of recent bouts of nausea, which I have never experienced before in my life. Thought I had an ulcer, even went so far as to get blood and breath tests for the helico pylori bacteria. Stopped taking these for a week. Then had a little nibble of about 1/5 of a bar not much at all just a couple of hours ago. Could feel the same feeling of nausea coming soon afte...Read more

When I've let myself get too hungry while I'm out-and-about, it's way too easy for me to grab a "quick fix" food from the supermarket that gives me a sudden burst of energy, and that's usually chocolate! Whenever this happens, however, I almost always eat too much too quickly and my blood sugar hits the roof before crashing in nearly no time at all. Just last night at around dinnertime, I wasn't even close to being home and picked up one of these (chocolate-flavoured) HPLC bars that were on special for $4 at Coles to try instead of resorting to...Read more

These bars are fantastic for a post-workout, and contain just over 45 grams of protein, quite a reasonable amount of fibre and low carbohydrate and sugar content. My only issues with these bars is that it would be great if there were more flavours - I've been sticking with the caramel as I tried the Choc Crunch today and well... It reminded me of dog biscuits (yes, I know what dog biscuits taste like). Currently selling in Woolworths (where I get them) for $5 a bar, they're a little on the pricey side but if you use these to substitute large s...Read more

To a certain extent, I would say that I am somewhat of a health nut. To incorporate into my controlled eating plan, I would need to find a high protein bar with the lowest sugar content possible and this absolutely ticked all the boxes on my list. These sorts of bars do not overwhelm you with a sugary taste like most cheaper non-health related chocolate bars.

There are two ways in which I take them, either through a cardiovascular bike ride, or a gym session or as a meal replacement when I'm busy on the go. These bars are not to be consumed ...Read more

* Great protein hit - 45 grams is tops in any language, relatively low carbs and fats
* Fills you up if you eat it between meals
* Excellent after a workout
* Never really noticed getting thirsty after eating one of these, like some of the other reviews have stated here, but I drink plenty of H2O anyway so I might not have noticed. Drinking water is good for you, so it might be a good thing.
* Anyone who eats protein bars for flavour is seriously kidding themselves - they are a nutritional supplement not a marinated steak and salad on the ...Read more

Having generally kept away from convenience foods in the past, I only have the Muscletech Nitro Bar against which to compare this product. Whilst the Nitro Bar has considerably better flavour than the HPLC, I find the HPLC bar somewhat easier to eat and I can get to the end without suffering severe jaw ache. Trying to masticate through a Nitro Bar is a workout in itself (value adding?). At the end of the day, I am eating this for the nutritional value when "real" food is not available so the flavour is not a big worry. Like the advisories o...Read more

I'm on a weight-loss/ management diet and eat one of these every day.

I love the caramel rough and choc crunch bars. They're almost like rice-bubble bars in texture and keep me feeling full. I break mine in half and eat one half for morning tea, the second for afternoon tea, between my three bigger meals.

The choc covered bar, however, is not yum. It has that distinctly artificially-sweetened flavour to the inside portion. If you're trying to sate that chocolate craving, better to get an Atkins Indulgence/ Advantage than nibble the coatin...Read more

HPLC bars by Aussie body's are great!! I'm a girl who has recently started lifting weights and eating super healthy, meaning for a chocolate lover such as myself I had to find a replacement and with out wanting to always head down to my local supplement store I came across these awesome bars just in the health food isle at woolies! Have tried all the flavored and found the caramel one was a bit to sweet, the choc crunch is my favorite but it has soy protein instead of WPI which is a negative so I tend to just eat the chocolate one which has a s...Read more
