What the media is saying ...

Deanne has "two things on her side -- organic ingredients and actual flavor."
-The Oakland Press

"This is very different from all those bars you find in the supermarket ... it's really important to
pay attention to the ingredients that Deanne is using ... you've really thought of every detail
and ingredient that's gone into them…Tastes nice, like some substantial food that you get."
-Deena Centofanti, Fox 2 News, Detroit

company. I found information about your products through my Lifetime Fitness Magazine.  
Great products!  Keep up the good work."

"I saw your ad in a magazine and decided to try the Sample Pack.  I can't decide which ones I
like the most - as I still have one left to try, when I do I'll send you  my order!  They are great!  
You'll be happy to know I ate one before my last triath
elon and it was PERFECT - not too heavy,
but enough fuel to get me started. "

I have a busy lifestyle and schedule so if I don't have something healthy to eat within reach I'll
fold.  Your chocolate chocolate chip bran muffins have become a regular, nutritional snack
for me that truly satisif
ies.
- Cherie G., Sequim, Washington

"Deanne's health bars are very satisfying; I usually have one for breakfast before heading out
for a long run followed by strength training. They give me the energy boost I need to train for 2-
3 hours without making me feel too full; and they actually taste really good, unlike most of the
energy/nutrition bars on the market."
-Amy H., Arlington, VA

”My whole family loves the Vivo Bars for many reasons.  Because I believe in the theories
behind the South Beach Diet, I am trying to stay away from refined sugar and white flour.  The
South Beach Diet emphasizes eating protein along with healthy fats, such as flaxseeds, and
complex carbs, such as whole grains too.  Vivo Bars help me stick to the plan when I need a
convenient meal replacement or snack.  I have lost twenty pounds and the Vivo bars are
helping me keep the extra weight off. Of course, Vivo Bars have the wonderful chocolate
chips that are not sweetened with sugar.  The ingredients provide all of us with extra energy
and protein.  My daughter likes to have one before working out at the gym.”
-Joan, Bloomfield Hills, MI

”I have tried a lot of protein/energy bars and have found that none taste as good as Vivo
bars. I actually look forward to eating them as a snack. And I don't know why, but they really
help reduce the symptoms of PMS.
-M.M., Washington, DC

I love Vivo Bars!  I like that I'm not just eating a meal replacement bar, but one with all natural
ingredients and nutrients (not fillers)...it's like eating dessert instead of a meal, and you're not
hungry after an hour...they're really satisfying!”
-Karen, Sterling Heights, MI

”Love the peanut butter/chocolate chip energy bars.  I was first introduced to Vivo Bars as a
new mom.  As most new moms will tell you, there is little time or energy to do anything but take
care of your newborn.  The energy bars saved me, I had little motivation to cook, but knew I
had to eat healthy - the bars fulfilled all my nutrient needs and were convenient.  Most
importantly the bars were healthy which gave me peace of mind because as a breastfeeding
mom I had to ensure that my baby was receiving all the nutrients she needed to thrive.  I have
returned to work and continue to eat a bar every day - the bars are my favorite snack and/or
breakfast because not only are they delicious, but I am able to sustain my energy level and
never hit a sugar low.  Thanks Deanne - you start my day off right!”
-Tamara, Baltimore, MD

”I really like to take Vivo Bars to work with me. They are convenient to eat right at my desk. I
have one for breakfast and I feel satisfied until lunchtime”.
-Nancy I., Troy, MI

”Vivo Bars have changed my life!  Ever since I started eating them daily about 6 months ago, I
no longer crave sweets (especially chocolate made from refine sugar).  I start my day out with
my favorite chocolate chip energy bar and that satisfies my sweet tooth.  Even though they
are not made with any refine sugar, the natural sweeteners do the trick.  It also helps me keep
my weight down because I am no longer eating all the other junk food I used to eat.”
-Sue B., Bloomfield Hills, MI
