A “REVOLUTIONARY” new health snack dreamt up in a Brentwood kitchen has made its way on to the market.

The brainchild of local men Lance Geringer and Robin Lynn, the new Fit and Trim bars are designed to make dieting easier by curbing hunger and cravings .

The bars come in two flavours – double chocolate and apricot and cranberry.

Lance, who is originally fro m Los Angeles and has a degree in exercise science, said the bars helped those dieting because of the taste .

He said: “If you don’t like the taste, you won’t stay on your diet or healthy eating plan for long.”

He added: “Diets fail due to hunger and cravings, and adding exercise actually increases both.

“I developed the Fit and Trim bars to answer these problems , allowing the dieter to continue on whichever eating plan they’re on and lose more weight.

“They are the only bars on the market that do this.”

The double chocolate bar contains 181 calories, and the apricot and cranberry bar 171. Both are also low in sugars and saturated fat.

Lance added: “Fit and Trim bars should also be used when you’re inarush and there is n o time to eat.”
