I've used a fair bit of the Bike Food range. The raw food bars are fantastic - great energy and taste lovely too.
As for the raw protein powder... well I saw an article in Cycling Weekly a month or two ago which mentioned the benefits of protein first thing in the morning helping to 'regulate' your appetite. I took that to mean it meant you ate less.
Now for me my main problem is not so much eating healthily but eating too much. I cycle a lot but just end up eating more and more so that although I lost weight initially I’ve pretty much stayed the same weight for a while now.
The article mentioned the hemp protein powder and I thought I’d take a chance and see how it goes. Ordered it online and received the package in about three days (great service by the way).
The stuff itself tastes rank, looks horrible but bloody well works. Almost immediately I found that I hardly wanted an evening meal some nights, and other times even when hungry I had the same portion as my girlfriend - I’d normally have 2or 3 times as much.
I’m not sure if that alone helped me lose weight – that was probably the extra non-cycling exercise I started doing - but within a relatively short time my moobs began to shrink and I could really notice the difference.
I’d recommend it seems to work well for me at least. That and it’s vegan – result!
