I have been reading Dr. Phil's book also. I saw in his menu plans that he includes a meal replacement beverage or bar nearly every day, so I wasn't surprised when he came out with his own beverages and bars. I was surprised when I looked at the ingredients that are in the bars. The fudge brownie bars contain:
