My wife and daughter made a batch the other day out of almond butter, dark chocolate and butter. She has the recipe if you want. They used just a tiny touch of honey because neither can tolerate artificial sweeteners. Put them in molds that are about the size of Reces Penut Butter cups.

I have had one to try it but we really have never gotten into those. The reality is, as long as I get about a pound and a half of meat a day along with the other low carb vegies, I have very little desire to eat anything in between meals. If I do eat something, it is usually a meat stick (you have to really search to find the ones without added sugar. Iowa Smoke House makes some good ones), a cheese stick or some pork rinds.

If a person is trying to lose weight, you have to be a little careful with the fat bombs. It is possible to still over eat fat. A person really wants to burn body fat and not the fat going into the mouth. Too much in the mouth and the metabolism never gets to the body fat.

I think snacks like fat bombs are good transition tools. For the person that is transitioning from a high carb diet used to eating a granola bar or snickers mid morning with a Coke and mid afternoon snack a bag of chips with another Coke, the fat bombs get people away from the high carb sugary snacks and into burning fat (ketones) instead of glucose. So from that perspective they help transition a person from bad habits to better.

But it is my opinion, once transitioned to a flexible metabolism (able to burn glucose or ketones equally well) from a diet that has been burning almost exclusively glucose, a person is way far ahead to just eat two or three good, healthy meals a day and skip the snacks. Fat bombs might not spike insulin much, but the body still has to process that intake. If it is burning the fat bomb, it is not burning the body fat.

We do indulge in pork rinds though when watching tv or videos at night. That replaces our "popcorn" we used to have. If you want some really great ones, try the freshly microwaved kind by Lowreys. It is kind of a trick to get the microwave time down just right (ours takes 1 min 48 sec) to get them to turn out perfect, but once you do they are ohhhh soooo good. They have regular and spicy hot (which are not all that hot).

It is surprising what a person can get done when he is not eating all the time.
