Forze GPS Bar Giveaway

Nothing too exciting to post today…my eats are basically the same as they have been for oh...3 days?  I’m sure you’re bored of it, so I’m going to tell you about something way more exciting!

----

Hey Everyone!  Are you ready for another giveaway!? 

Get excited because not only will one person win a box of mixed Forze GPS Bars, but TWO WINNERS will be selected! I don’t know that many of you have heard about these bars, so let me give you a bit of background:

I found these bars when I went to the Pre-race Expo for the San Antonio Rock n’ Roll 1/2 Marathon back in November and after having a few small samples, couldn’t help but ask if I might have a few to review for my blog!  I tried out the Chocolate PB Flavor back in December and reviewed on the blog how much I loved it!  I also tried the Cranberry Nut Bar when I was in Orlando the other weekend and really enjoyed that one too!  I can’t believe how much flavor these bars have and how they’re not too sweet!  And props that they hold their shape too!

Anyhow, I’ve got a bit of info to share with you about their bars from their website to entice you to enter the giveaway.  I promise you won’t be disappointed!

The Forze GPS bars come in 4 different flavors and each range between 150-160 calories per bar:

  • Cranberry Nut

 cranberry-nut-bar-forze-gps  

  • Chocolate Peanut Butter

forze-gps-chocolate-peanut-

  • Caramel Chocolate

FORZE-CARAMEL-BAR

  • Chocolate Decadence

FORZE-CHOCOLATE-BAR

From the website, it explains how the bars work, with their ultimate goal of being able to keep you satiated for longer and help maintain your athletic performance weight:

Forze GPS is the first and only nutrition tool formulated especially to help athletes reach and maintain their optimal performance weight. The key to getting leaner is appetite regulation. Specifically, your objective is to sustain a diet that satisfies your appetite each day without supplying more calories than you need. Most people, and even many athletes, find it difficult to satisfy their appetite each day without eating more calories than they need and consequently accumulating excess body fat stores.

Forze GPS solves this problem by satisfying your appetite in a calorically efficient manner. Simply put: Forze GPS provides more satiety (or appetite satisfaction) with fewer calories than any other food. By adding Forze GPS to your diet you will naturally eat less over the course of the day without feeling hungry, and as a result you will become leaner and perform better.”

It also has a very interesting discussion about appetite, the clinical studies, and scientific evidence behind their research for their bars.  That’s some dedication right there!  I can’t say I’ve seen that for many other bars before!

Forze GPS is actually made by Pacific Health Laboratories, who also created and sell Accelerade and Endurox products!

Now, how can you win some of these awesome bars?!  Here’s several ways to enter:

  • Leave a comment letting me know your favorite type of exercise!
  • Link this giveaway on your blog, then let me know through another comment or email.
  • For another entry, tweet the following: “@TryingToHeal is holding a giveaway for a Mixed Box of Forze GPS Bars! Enter here: http://bit.ly/7ijsf7” Then come back and leave a second comment telling me you tweeted!
  • If you don’t have a blog, let me know what flavor you’d like to try!

You have until Thursday at noon EST, 21 January EST to enter and I’ll announce the winner Thursday night!

Good Luck!

I just had knee surgery from a sports injury. My favorite form of exercise is playing ultimate frisbee (which is how I got injured). It's so fun because you're running like crazy (think soccer) but you aren't paying attention to how tired you are. I'm still recovering, but I could definitely use some bars to fuel my physical therapy workouts!!!

Natalie Rae said...

I really like to take long weekend 1/2 marathon walks around the city of Seattle.

molly bloom said...
