 Amazon Gold Box Deal Try September 14, 2008
I am glad I got this, got for a great deal. Don't think I would buy the drink mix or the breakfast bars, but the meal bars and the nice mix of trail mix was tasty
 Just buy the individual items you like instead of this September 14, 2008
In general I like South Beach products, and have been using them for years. When I saw this item on sale, it looked like a good buy.
I was wrong. When I actually got the box, I realized that I had only saved a small amount over buying these items individually. And one of the four items turned out to be useless to me, so I actually came out behind.
The Cinnamon Raisin bars are fine. The meal bars are pretty good, though you need to be aware that they're significantly larger and have more calories than the various South Beach cereal bars.
The Snack Packs are just OK, and no better than you could get from a variety of other sources. There's nothing that complex about mixing nuts and fruit.
The loser was the box of "Tide Me Over" packets. These are supposed to be mixed with a half-liter of water for an in-between-meals drink. But, unlike all other South Beach products I've seen, these are sweetened with aspartame (Nutrasweet) instead of sucralose (Splenda). I don't like the taste of aspartame, and if I consume very much of it, I get a headache. Various health experts recommend against aspartame, so I'm surprised that South Beach uses it in this product.
All in all, you'll do better waiting on a sale on individual items. The cereal bars, for example, often go on sale at two-boxes-for-$5.
I suppose if you are unfamiliar with all the products and want to sample them, this would be one way to do it. But don't buy this expecting to get any kind of fabulous deal.

South Beach and Amazon have done it again. The new snacks from South Beach and the combo pack that I've only found on Amazon are great. I started using South Beach techniques almost 2 years ago when I was told I had Diabetes, and in 6 months I was Diabetes free and have been since then. Don't believe the doctors, the drug companies and the Government, Diabetes can be beat, myself and 4 other people I know have done it just by following a good, low-carb diet.
very pleased! July 24, 2008

Awesome price on these items and a very good mixture. I enjoy many of the South Beach items. They are made by Kraft Foods...good or bad is up to you on that, but they made a quality product(s) here. I have read the South Beach Diet books. I don't follow the diets, but these products are pretty tasty and healthy for you, whether you are on the diet or not.
Dr Agastnon who made the diet is a big fan of a well rounded diet with exercise. Nothing magic...no magic pills...just healthy food, circuit training(walking), and a positive attitude. Enjoy!
