Hello Thomas! I found your channel a few days ago and enjoy your videos very much! Thank you! Question: I've watched some of the videos related to heat, ie. sauna, steam rooms etc.. Do you examined the practice of heat/cold types of therapy? Sauna/ice bath or shower..? I also noticed in one of your videos regarding Cryo-therapy. Interesting subject. I wonder if anyone has tried a combination of hyperbaric therapy in conjunction with cryo or heat/cold.
Thomas DeLauer love your videos! So helpful and I’ve learned so much about food and the ingredients in them. I appreciate you breaking things down and also doing these types of shopping videos to let us know what’s good and bad. You are truly amazing! One other note...what are your thoughts on the Atkins line of protein bars? Specifically the chocolate peanut butter pretzel bar? I tried the Kirkland protein bars and was not a fan. I haven’t tried the ratio bars or gomacro bars yet. I’m leary as they are both expensive and don’t want to waste more money on bars I’m not gonna eat. Also, I’m not on a keto diet, just trying to be more health conscious with my food choices. Thanks so much!
Hey, I’m a new Muslim and tomorrow Ramadan begins. I’ve never fasted before, and I’m not sure how to go about it. I don’t live in a Muslim community so I don’t really know what to eat. I was wondering if you could make a video about it.
He gave a lot of useful information on what garbage ingredients are, and also useful bits of advice such as whey protein isolate being the best protein.
I’m so glad the Kirkland protein bars made the cut for I’ve been eating them recently. I will even put one in my air fryer oven for about 3 or 4 minutes on the middle rack at 3:50/3:40 and oh my gosh they taste like a warm cookie. A little crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Great with hot black coffee.
Yay! I'm so glad I chose the right protein bar when I was at Costco. Thanks Thomas for educating me on how to choose the best/cleanest foods for our bodies while eating a keto lifestyle!
Thank you Thomas! I was in Costco yesterday. I didn’t get any protein bars. I got too confused by them. Thank you for helping! I appreciate all you do.
That cereal price is stupid expensive, 198g for $9.75 a box and you have to buy 4 at a time so it comes to $39, yeah right. The mark ups of low carb high protein foods is an absolute scam.
dana102083 the point is we’d like to support Thomas through some of these companies, but most of us don’t have that much disposable income to throw $40 at a product that isn’t a good value. We won’t eat, but trying to get through to the company that it needs to adjust their prices.
Thomas-Can you please advise on Perfect Bar...it’s in the refrigerator section? Costco supposedly carries it. I picked one up on a road trip a few months back and honestly, was the best protein bar I’ve ever tried.
I tested the Kirkland bar last week. My glucose starting was 87 and after a half hour it was 150! I was shocked! Do you know what ingredient could be causing that spike?
I really like the taste of most protein bars but I found that too many contain ingredients that I try to avoid. So, I started to make my own at home. There are countless recipes online and it's actually pretty easy
This is such a good video. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you picking up things you don't recommend and telling us WHY and explaining what those ingredients do. For so long I have been seeing Chicory Root Fiber as an ingredient in a lot of keto stuff and I wasn't sure what to think of it. Thank you so so much. I feel like this is something I can send to my family so they can understand why they shouldn't be eating this stuff. Because they do. Thank the Lord I do not anymore.
Thomas proved to everyone that keto doesn’t make you lose muscles, whoever questions that in my surrounding, I tell them to go and check Thomas Delauer’s RUclips:) He taught me how to do IF properly in order to get more from my work outs. I got so inspired that I’ve started my own channel, more so to track my progress and find some other accountability partners in my journey. I’d love some support/feedback from the keto family and community, so please hit subscribe and check it out. Massive thanks for all that Thomas does for us!
We would appreciate a Lakanto review -they have so many products and just taste great! Costco sells the Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener for only $8.00 and we've found that using 1/2 the amount for baking is perfect - no after taste or stomach pains. Also, Sprouts has a tons of their products.
April F that’s my only concern with it, and the reason I haven’t tried it yet. I bought 2 bags of Swerve and can’t finish them because even the smallest amount of erythritol cause me some awful gastrointestinal upset.
I started eating these after your last video on them and absolutely love them. What works for me is if I use them as a dessert/candy bar replacement rather than a meal/snack supplement.
Great info, as always. I like keeping the Kirkland Signature on hand for times when I can't get to clean keto. They stick with me for a couple hours when I have them but I don't rely on them for meal replacements. Thanks so much!
Moral of the story cook your own healthy protein bars. You will have a much better idea of the ingredients and you will save loads of money. By the way this is one of the most informative and knowledgeable channels on RUclips.
Thank you for the great video, wondering what brand of protein bar and protein powder do you recommend for bodybuilding, I’m not doing any special diet. Thanks for all the great info
I eat the Kirkland Chocolate Brownie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ones. They are pretty good for a snack. The other variety pack comes with Cookies and Cream and Chocolate Peanut Butter. I watched a reviewed on another channel that tasted all 4 and the Cookies and Cream were not that good, but the Chocolate Peanut Butter was. Too bad Kirkland couldn't shuttle the flavors for different varieties or just package single flavors.
Hey Thomas, is this a topic you could revisit? The Costco brand you recommended has reformulated their bars and now has solvable corn fiber as a top ingredient
I love all your videos, I learn a lot from the information that you provide. This video re protein bar ingredients is great! I don't eat protein bars, but so many of these "no" ingredients are in other foods. I know all the common "no" ingredients, but a lot of the ingredients you warn us about I've never heard of (super helpful). And, I really appreciate that you tell us WHY the ingredients are bad and specifically what each one does to our bodies, because that helps me remember those ingredients. Trying to decipher ingredient lists can be so overwhelming!
Awesome video Thomas thank you! Hey as a person with Ulcerated Colitis, I've come to the realization that my gut biome is messed up. Do you have any videos on how to reset or improve your gut biome?
Tommy, you could have told us the 2 best protein bars and shot this video for 2 minutes but thank you for taking your time and explain to us the harmful ingredients so we can know what to look for. Thank you!!!
Bro seriously without your videos we’d probably eating these without knowing about the consequences, at least you’re doing the right thing and letting people know what’s good and bad... Thanks a lot !
VERY HELPFUL VIDEO THOMAS 👌. We only buy the Kirkland protein bars in our house, those others in the past when we tried them caused autoimmune flare up.
I tried the Kirkland Protein bars 3 years ago before Keto. One of the ingredients in that bar would cause my throat to want to close up and I had trouble swallowing the bar so I returned them. I didn’t really think they tasted that good. Maybe they changed the formula and they are better🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for all the info! I’ve been using the Bulletproof Collagen bars. Clean ingredients, 7 grams net carbs, and excellent taste. What do you think of those bars?
I just started intermittent fasting and I’m currently on the keto diet, and I’m really confused about what and how much I should be eating during the eating period. Could you do a video about it, you’d be a big help! Also love your channel!!
I like how the kirkland bars taste but the texture is just too chewy. I still buy them. Never had the ratio bar before. Don’t know if costco still sell them. I’ll keep an eye out for it. Cheers! 👍🏻
Hi Thomas, since this video from April/20 Costco has changed some of the ingredients for their Kirkland Protein bars. I had not purchased them for a long while until yesterday when I realized the changes. The new ingredients that worried me because I do not know exactly what they mean, and sound awful are: "Soluble Corn Fiber" and "Isomalto-oligosaccharides" . When you have a chance could you please enlighten us on those? I much appreciate your help. Always!
I wish we had someone in the UK who was as knowledgeable as Thomas and was making similar content. We don't have these brands here although alot of the ingredients are the same. I really enjoy these videos anyway.
Bro i just saw a video with your face in it talking about dirty shoes on your own video. Surely you aren’t paying youtube to run ads to promote your channel on your own vids?
I’m someone who avoids any Candy or keto snack with maltitol as the sweetener. But in that bright yellow box, wasn’t maltitol the LAST ingredient? The ingredients are in order of how much is in it, so there’s probably more rat droppings in those bars than maltitol. Plus idk if you were just being cheeky Thomas, but obviously the reason they put sugar and Splenda in bars is to manipulate the labeling to make the sugars listed seem less egregious. Plus any sweetener combined has a symbiotic relationship- it takes less of each to equal the same. That’s why in many cases we see in recipes , erythritol and stevia, or xylitol and allulose. Even in LC cooking it works. We see sometimes honey + sugar or maple syrup plus sugar.
New subscriber to Thomas here. I buy the Costco bars all the time, and was really praying they would make his list, and I'm so glad they did! Also after watching his other Costco video on protein powders, I now have the knowledge to determine which stuff is good. Thank you so much.
I'm glad I just watched this as my husband just left to Costco and he'll be buying the Kirkland protein bars, can't wait. Thanks for the recommendation.
Hahahha I sat there one day and compared the ingredients on all of them. The Kirkland brand was by far the best. Best price and they taste great in my opinion. My break time snack at work. Almost anything better than the vending machine.
I have been a beneficiary of the immense value you’ve added over time, but a video about how to fast during Ramadan would benefit me and millions around the world right now! I totally understand if proteins bars at Costco are more of a priority for your channel and viewers though. With respect.
As someone else mentioned-make your own bars. Several online to suit your goals & taste. Dedicating time to your health is worth it, especially with C-19 right now. I’ll be experimenting in my kitchen. Thomas, thanks for your time!
I appreciate your lesson on whey protein isolate. My son completely stopped consuming dairy to clear up pretty severe acne. It worked! I wondering if he could consume whey protein isolate?
Hey Thomas! I’m not sure how many of your subscribers may relate to this topic, but I’m having bariatric sleeve surgery in a few week and my dietician says I’m essentially going to be “a form of keto for life”, so I get to maintain my keto diet (hooray!). I’d love to see a video for keto for people who have had bariatric surgery. It would be interesting!
I love ratio bars!! I have one every morning with my coffee for breakfast. Currently, I am almost finished my box, but non of my local Costco’s have it in stock.
thx Thomas. On the KIRKLAND bar , the tapioca starch can cause an insulin blood sugar spike. Type 2 Diabetic's, like myself, should test blood sugar levels before and after.
I bought some bars from Costco a few days ago and wanted to see if I had a decent one. I read all the ingredients and actually chose the Kirkland. Yay me.
I was scared to watch this video fearing you were going to bag on the Kirtland bars and phew you gave them a thumbs up. Because of my work schedule I normally eat breakfast at 4 or 5 am but don't get to eat lunch til noon so occasionally I eat one of these to hold me over. They are pretty tasty
Kirkland bars just changed their recipe. FlavCity says to avoid them now because of isomalto-oligosaccharide added to the ingredient list. What are your thoughts?
hi sir, I love ur videos. keep making. I am not rich to buy those bars. my diet is a poor man protein diet. can u make a poor man protein diet for runner.i am runner I don't care about carbs and fat. i am 10 km sub 35 minutes runner and 21 km 1:17 hrs.
Hey Thomas! What about Non-GMO protein isolate? My daughter is a huge believer in Juice Plus products ( not sure if you've heard of them) but they have bars AND shakes and curious your thoughts on this. Please answer this question.
@Thomas DeLauer Thanks for the Protein bar Costco review. I'm glad the Kirkland brand made the cut, esp for the reasonable price/bar. However, I tried one that had been on special, one new to Costco, the "CanDo Keto Krisp", for which seems to have healthier ingredients and they are delicious. They are a bit expensive at the regular price of $18 for a box of 12 but as my first food intake of the day a few hours before dinner, they do satiate my appetite. It would be great if you give your thoughts on this product in the future or share your thoughts in the comment. Thanks again.
I got the Pure Protein Bars at Costco today and I actually like them. My mom was like no those are bad be she gets the Kirkland ones. However I am 15 so I kinda like the sweeter ones more. I don’t like the powdery taste the Kirkland ones have
Yay! So happy the Kirkland ones make the cut. Obviously not the best (“natural flavors” are Sus), but best bang for your buck and quality against the other options. Thanks for being so educational as I’m learning more about clean eating
Hi Thomas, I am a huge fan and follower of your videos. You explain IF like nobody does.😊I have a question ,I am following ADF since 2 weeks now and lost around 6lbs. I just want to ask my doc has prescribed me a multi vitamin. It has 5.6 calories. Will it break my fast ? Pls reply pleeease !
I just picked up a box of Kirkland protein bars from Costco today before I watched your video. Thank goodness it passed your test. I feel preety good about my purchase now. Thanks for the well detailed video. 😎👍
Hey Thomas, what’s your opinion on Munk Pack Keto bars? I ordered 1-6pk variety pack for $15 off amazon and the ingredients seem pretty clean to me. I think the price is kinda steep but they all tasted really good. Could eating these and other bars with substitute sweeteners trigger sugar cravings?
Maybe you should an updated video on keto snacks since there’s so many new ones on market now and give more insight about sugar cravings and how substitute sweeteners can or can’t derail us sugar lovers.
I was (still am?) addicted to Kirkman protein bars - low sugar and very filling compared to high-sugar bars. I'm not hungry immediately after eating them. They seemed pretty good for what they are (highly processed), and compared to other similar options. Don't want to overdo them, though, which I did for a while. Thanks for this video, I was pretty curious about some of the other options, and I love the ingredient breakdown.
Hi Thomas! I'm loving your channel and all your helpful video's...thank you! I was buying Kirkland's protein bars for a long time...the flavor is good and they would fill me between meals in a pinch when I didn't have time to make breakfast or lunch. The reason I stopped buying them is because the wrapper looks like it's lined with plastic/foil and it's always stuck to the entire bar so bad that I have peel it off! I became concerned that the bars are exposed to warmer temps in transit and the plastic/foil is sticking to the product and possibly leaching chemicals onto the bar. I know plastics are harmful to the body...I already have hypothyroid and estrogen dominance..... so I was worried that even in small amounts from the bars over time it could cause issues. What do you think? Should that be a concern enough not to buy them? Thanks : )
I enjoy every video you release. If you’re able could you number your items that you are rating. Thanks I’ve lost over 50lbs since Aug. of 2019. I’ll keep following you in the journey to a healthier life. Keep up the amazing work! Also would you be able to do other warehouse stores like Bj’s & Sam’s .
We have the brownie and chocolate chip cookie dough Kirkland bars. The ingredients don’t even look remotely the same. This has soluble corn fiber and isomalto-oligosaccharides. Is that ok?

Thanks Tom been eating those Lenny's not alot but that is my go to Def stay away from that
You mentioned that Fiber is "Bloat City" , does that mean we should avoid fiber,or should we restrict fiber intake?

I’ll save you 19 min and 38 seconds of your life. Get the ratio and/or kirkland bars.
Sadly where’d all the ratio bars go? Been out for months
This video can save more time of your life we should be grateful to receive this info for free
-If you care about your health of course
He gave a lot of useful information on what garbage ingredients are, and also useful bits of advice such as whey protein isolate being the best protein.
Thanks
Thank you. I fell asleep twice
I’m so glad the Kirkland protein bars made the cut for I’ve been eating them recently. I will even put one in my air fryer oven for about 3 or 4 minutes on the middle rack at 3:50/3:40 and oh my gosh they taste like a warm cookie. A little crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Great with hot black coffee.
👀👀👀 I’ll have to try that with the brownie flavor. Maybe it’ll feel like warm fresh baked brownies.
No way!!! I am going to try this great idea.
OMG!!! I just tried this with the chocolate chip cookie dough kirkland bar. IT MAKES IT 100x BETTER!!! Thanks for the idea!
@@kellybrooke1057 You’re welcome (glad you enjoyed) but I did get the idea from another youtuber😀. Quest cookies are awesome too to air fry. Yummy,
Oh wow, yummy 😋
The quaker granola is full of protein. The Kirkland protein bars are the best. 21g protein 190 calories 10g of fiber.
Yay! I'm so glad I chose the right protein bar when I was at Costco. Thanks Thomas for educating me on how to choose the best/cleanest foods for our bodies while eating a keto lifestyle!

I came here for Kirkland protein bars. In my opinion it’s one of the cleanest and cheapest protein bar. Thank you for confirming 😊

I agree! I can't justify spending $10 for a 7oz. box of cereal. They really should adjust their price point if they want more sales.
Then make it yourself or dont eat it?

@@4beachpeaches The cereal you used to buy costs cents to make, this cereal costs dollars to make, it should be obvious why the price is how is it is.
Also low carb based on super small ‘portion size’...hmmm...
I actually LOVE Costco’s brand protein bars. The brownie flavor is awesome.
Thank you Thomas for always putting in so much work for this community 🔥
How do they make "brownie flavor" if it is not a brownie?
Thank YOU for watching!
chocolate and butter
cookie dough flavor is better.. 🤫

So far I've not had any issues. I buy a new box every couple of weeks.

I finally tried the Kirkland protein bars. I was surprised how good they taste, ateasr the cookies and cream.
I rely so much on bars when on the road. They're so helpful in emergencies when out and about. They prevent me from eating something u shouldn't =)
Thats definitely understandable. Stay safe on the road. Thanks for watching!
You are better off stopping at a burger place and eating the meat with no bun instead of these ultra processed protein bars.
@@mansoorwahab8934 that meat patty doesn't have as much protein packed in it tho does it?

I appreciate your lesson on whey protein isolate. My son completely stopped consuming dairy to clear up pretty severe acne. It worked! I wondering if he could consume whey protein isolate?
Whey is dairy
Are the keto slim fast bars any good? Because I’m addicted to them
Honrarri 9K RPM They give my husband some seriously unruly gas. Peww! 🤢
How do you feel about Quest Bars?
stay tuned for a part 2
Hey Thomas. Curious what you think about the protein blend in Magic Spoon?
Hey Thomas! I’m not sure how many of your subscribers may relate to this topic, but I’m having bariatric sleeve surgery in a few week and my dietician says I’m essentially going to be “a form of keto for life”, so I get to maintain my keto diet (hooray!). I’d love to see a video for keto for people who have had bariatric surgery. It would be interesting!
What's your thoughts on fairlife? I don't think Costco stocks this but I hear it's solid none the less
The Kirkland bar seems to be a cleaner version of the Quest bar... speaking of which.. what do you think of those?
I love ratio bars!! I have one every morning with my coffee for breakfast. Currently, I am almost finished my box, but non of my local Costco’s have it in stock.
thx Thomas. On the KIRKLAND bar , the tapioca starch can cause an insulin blood sugar spike. Type 2 Diabetic's, like myself, should test blood sugar levels before and after.
Could you do a video about dry fasting and immunity, since Muslims are going to dry fast for a whole month
I would love if you made a video suggesting how you would make your own homemade protein bar. Love your videos and thank you.
This was an entertaining video, and educational. I'll be more aware the next time I go shopping for protein bars.
I bought some bars from Costco a few days ago and wanted to see if I had a decent one. I read all the ingredients and actually chose the Kirkland. Yay me.
I was scared to watch this video fearing you were going to bag on the Kirtland bars and phew you gave them a thumbs up. Because of my work schedule I normally eat breakfast at 4 or 5 am but don't get to eat lunch til noon so occasionally I eat one of these to hold me over. They are pretty tasty
Thank you for the video....I've learned alot to be able to scrutinize protein bars.
Kirkland bars just changed their recipe. FlavCity says to avoid them now because of isomalto-oligosaccharide added to the ingredient list. What are your thoughts?
Very informative video. Ordered the Kirkland bars and wanted to make sure I made a good choice. Thanks! :)
I think instead of eating protien bar we can eat peanut butter or peanuts rosted.100 gms we get around 25gms protien.
Not bad. Just trying to help people that DO like protein bars. Thanks for watching!
hi sir, I love ur videos. keep making. I am not rich to buy those bars. my diet is a poor man protein diet. can u make a poor man protein diet for runner.i am runner I don't care about carbs and fat. i am 10 km sub 35 minutes runner and 21 km 1:17 hrs.
Meat is better for protein
Hey Thomas! What about Non-GMO protein isolate? My daughter is a huge believer in Juice Plus products ( not sure if you've heard of them) but they have bars AND shakes and curious your thoughts on this. Please answer this question.
Compared to whey protein isolate is pea protein good it’s much cheaper that’s why I’m asking.
@Thomas DeLauer Thanks for the Protein bar Costco review. I'm glad the Kirkland brand made the cut, esp for the reasonable price/bar. However, I tried one that had been on special, one new to Costco, the "CanDo Keto Krisp", for which seems to have healthier ingredients and they are delicious. They are a bit expensive at the regular price of $18 for a box of 12 but as my first food intake of the day a few hours before dinner, they do satiate my appetite. It would be great if you give your thoughts on this product in the future or share your thoughts in the comment. Thanks again.
I got the Pure Protein Bars at Costco today and I actually like them. My mom was like no those are bad be she gets the Kirkland ones. However I am 15 so I kinda like the sweeter ones more. I don’t like the powdery taste the Kirkland ones have
Kirkland recently changes their ingredients. Is this bar still okay now?
Why'd you skip the cliff builders??
Yay! So happy the Kirkland ones make the cut. Obviously not the best (“natural flavors” are Sus), but best bang for your buck and quality against the other options. Thanks for being so educational as I’m learning more about clean eating
Hi Thomas,
I am a huge fan and follower of your videos. You explain IF like nobody does.😊I have a question ,I am following ADF since 2 weeks now and lost around 6lbs. I just want to ask my doc has prescribed me a multi vitamin. It has 5.6 calories. Will it break my fast ?
Pls reply pleeease !
This is great! Do you know the chocolates they use are real (with caffeine) or artificial? Otherwise, Kirkland and Ratio are the ideal bars?
You’re totally the best and I just lost few pounds!
🙌🏻
I just picked up a box of Kirkland protein bars from Costco today before I watched your video. Thank goodness it passed your test. I feel preety good about my purchase now. Thanks for the well detailed video. 😎👍
I love these Costco videos, keep em coming!
Hey Thomas, what’s your opinion on Munk Pack Keto bars? I ordered 1-6pk variety pack for $15 off amazon and the ingredients seem pretty clean to me. I think the price is kinda steep but they all tasted really good. Could eating these and other bars with substitute sweeteners trigger sugar cravings?
Maybe you should an updated video on keto snacks since there’s so many new ones on market now and give more insight about sugar cravings and how substitute sweeteners can or can’t derail us sugar lovers.
What do you think about quest bars they have whey isolate and milk isolate and very low sugar I tried it and it seems very good?
Can you elaborate on why soluble corn fiber is bad?
The Kirkland brand bars are being discontinued in some Canadian cities. Vancouver and Edmonton don’t carry them anymore.
I was (still am?) addicted to Kirkman protein bars - low sugar and very filling compared to high-sugar bars. I'm not hungry immediately after eating them. They seemed pretty good for what they are (highly processed), and compared to other similar options. Don't want to overdo them, though, which I did for a while. Thanks for this video, I was pretty curious about some of the other options, and I love the ingredient breakdown.
Many people have tested and the Kirkland bars will kick you out of ketosis. Idk if every flavor does though.
Thomas, you are better than having a personal shopper! Thanks for this info. And thanks for teaching us how to “fish”!
Can I use protein bar in ketogenic diet? I have a protien bar and its per portion is 14g of carbs.
Thank you so much for all the amazing information! ❤️
What do you think about the Slim Fast Keto products?
Stay tune part 2!
You should do a review on the new bars at Costco for 2021
I ordered the cereal. 2 boxes of each one. Couldnt stop eating it. Thanks for the link Thomas
Dude, G2G bars, they are all organic, natural with no preservatives and they are kept in the refrigerator section of Costco.
Hi Thomas! I'm loving your channel and all your helpful video's...thank you! I was buying Kirkland's protein bars for a long time...the flavor is good and they would fill me between meals in a pinch when I didn't have time to make breakfast or lunch. The reason I stopped buying them is because the wrapper looks like it's lined with plastic/foil and it's always stuck to the entire bar so bad that I have peel it off! I became concerned that the bars are exposed to warmer temps in transit and the plastic/foil is sticking to the product and possibly leaching chemicals onto the bar. I know plastics are harmful to the body...I already have hypothyroid and estrogen dominance..... so I was worried that even in small amounts from the bars over time it could cause issues. What do you think? Should that be a concern enough not to buy them? Thanks : )
I enjoy every video you release. If you’re able could you number your items that you are rating. Thanks I’ve lost over 50lbs since Aug. of 2019. I’ll keep following you in the journey to a healthier life. Keep up the amazing work!
Also would you be able to do other warehouse stores like Bj’s & Sam’s .
We have the brownie and chocolate chip cookie dough Kirkland bars. The ingredients don’t even look remotely the same. This has soluble corn fiber and isomalto-oligosaccharides. Is that ok?
Costco fucked up the protein bars. Shoulda left them alone but instead they added those trash ingredients :/
