New snacks aim to keep hunger pangs away
Too busy to eat? Too hungry to think? Craving chocolate?
If any of these scenarios sound familiar to you, I have just the thing: Extend Snacks. These delicious snacks can help stabilize blood sugar for up to nine full hours. Extend helps eliminate the drops in blood sugar that occur between meals, triggering hunger.
Developed by a leading endocrinologist, Francine Kaufman, who specializes in diabetes, Extend products contain a patented combination of slow-burning carbohydrates, protein and fat, which breaks down gradually, providing you with a continuous source of energy. This avoids the roller-coaster ride that most meals provide, leaving you more satisfied, with a content feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Extend Snacks do just what the name suggests – extend the time between meals. Unlike other snacks, which can digest into blood sugar in a short two-hour time span, plummeting blood sugars to tablecloth chewing levels, they convert slowly and safely to help extend the time between meals for up to nine hours.
"Research shows that Extend Snacks can reduce the calories consumed at the next meal by 21 percent," says Kensie Turnbaugh, health-care program coordinator at Extend Snacks in St. Louis. "(Extend Snacks) digest slowly at a rate of about 2-3 grams of carbohydrate per hour for up to eight hours."
Turnbaugh consumes the products regularly and notes that she doesn't really experience hunger.
"I have a shake with milk for breakfast, a bar mid-morning (about three hours later) and bag of crisps late afternoon (about four hours after small lunch)," she said. "I'm not reaching for the next unhealthy snack to feel satisfied, like I normally would."
I have also witnessed this "arrest-your-appetite" miracle in action. I am an avid cross-country skier. Gliding across a snowscape on my skis is my favorite aerobic activity, burning up to 600 calories an hour. When I am out in that white winter wonderland, I need sustained fuel, and ExtendBars are my snack solution. I carry one in my pocket, can quickly eat one and continue with my day. I love that I am not hassled with symptoms of hunger such as fatigue, irritability, growling stomach or headache.
"Extend bars come in five different flavors," Turnbaugh says. "The peanut butter and chocolate is the favorite flavor. If you haven't tried it, you are in for a treat. In addition to the peanut butter chocolate delight, there is mixed berry, apple cinnamon, peanut and chocolate."
The bars are made from uncooked cornstarch, a low glycemic index carbohydrate. Each bar has only 150 calories, 3 grams of fat, no saturated or trans fat, 0 grams of sugar, 5-6 grams of fiber and 20 grams of carbohydrate. Amazingly, only 1 gram of the carbohydrate content has any short-term impact on blood sugar levels. They score 2 points on the Weight Watchers system.
Extend Snacks come in a variety of flavors and textures to please even the most sophisticated snacker. Aside from the delicious bars, there are shake mixes and crisps.
These crisps are bite-sized morsels that come in a variety of flavors such as Italian herb, cinnamon, honey barbecue, white cheddar and zesty ranch. Turnbaugh's favorite flavor? "Zesty ranch, hands down. I love something with a little zip."
Extend also makes shakes, which whip up in no time after you add milk or water. Available in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, they were originally developed to help people living with diabetes.
Extend Snacks can help you whittle your waist as you gain control over your hunger. They can also help you enjoy improved sleep if used before bedtime, by reducing disturbing nighttime blood sugar lows by up to 75 percent. Extend products are excellent for athletes, providing those fueling an active lifestyle with a sustained supply of energy for up to nine hours. Extend bars have helped some people with diabetes compete and successfully complete a marathon. If you need sustained energy to get through your own personal marathon of life, try the new Extend products. I think you will agree they can help you be your very own success story.
Here is a delicious recipe using the Extend vanilla shake. The vanilla is so versatile, unlimited options exist for adding fruit or peanut butter to create your own signature shake. The pumpkin pie is the favorite of Jonathan Lindberg, assistant marketing manager at Extend Snacks:
PUMPKIN PIE SHAKE: 1 packet vanilla ExtendShake1 cup skim milk1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spiceWhipped topping (optional)Follow the directions for a Vanilla ExtendShake.Add pumpkin pie spice as you mix your shake.Place your shake in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until cold.Top with sugar-free whipped topping.

• ExtendSnacks to be Featured On Popular CBS Television Show, “The Doctors”
For Immediate Release
ExtendSnacks to be Featured On Popular CBS Television Show, “The Doctors”
The Doctors TV Show Discusses the Role of ExtendBar in the prevention and management of diabetes.
St. Louis, MO (April 23, 2009) – “The Doctors”, an extremely popular TV program syndicated throughout the U.S. and Canada by CBS Television Distribution will be providing prominent exposure to ExtendSnacks in a segment focusing on the use of ExtendBar as part of a diabetes prevention and management lifestyle plan. For the past six years, ExtendSnacks have built a loyal following across the country and are now commonly recommended by doctors and registered dieticians to assist patients with issues related to blood sugar control and weight management.
CBS will air the segment Friday, May 1 as Francine R. Kaufman, MD, a world-renowned endocrinologist, past president of the American Diabetes Association, and inventor of ExtendBar will discuss this cutting edge product and its usefulness in the prevention and management of diabetes.
"The Doctors" TV segment will focus on how ExtendBar can help a pre-diabetes patient control blood sugar for up to nine hours. And further, how the use of ExtendBar as a snack has been clinically proven to help control hunger, avoid blood sugar lows and highs, and provide energy that lasts – benefits that are of great value for diabetes, weight management and fitness-minded consumers. ExtendSnacks are backed by multiple clinical studies published in peer reviewed journals and have earned 17 patents worldwide to date.
ExtendSnacks are the first and only healthy snacks clinically proven to help control blood sugar for up to 9 hours. ExtendSnacks (including ExtendBars, ExtendCrisps, ExtendShakes), is the first ever brand to offer an “around the clock glucose control program.” This offers tremendous benefits and a new alternative for the millions of people who struggle with blood sugar, weight management and diabetes issues on a daily basis. The best part is the program is simple – just eating 3 snacks throughout the day as part of a healthy meal plan will help keep blood sugar stable and in control, around the clock.
“No other snack food brand is backed by such in-depth and credible science; yet, is presented as such a simple glucose and hunger control program. This simplicity makes a real difference in our everyday lives,” says Vijay Chauhan, President of ExtendSnacks. “This high-profile exposure on “The Doctors” will no doubt have a profound impact on consumer awareness of the need for people of all ages to monitor and stabilize blood sugar,” says Chauhan. He added, “Moreover, the credibility of Dr. Kaufman will further reinforce that ExtendSnacks are the most effective and convenient healthy snacks on the market from the standpoint of patients, physicians and nutrition professionals.”

• ExtendShakes: The First-Ever nutritional shake formula clinically proven to help control blood sugar for up to 9 hours
Released 11/19/2008
ExtendShakes: The First-Ever nutritional shake formula clinically proven to help control blood sugar for up to 9 hours
St. Louis, MO (November 19, 2008) –New ExtendShakes formula is the first-ever clinically proven to help control blood sugar for up to 9 hours. ExtendShakes are the third snack platform in the expanding line of ExtendSnacks, the first brand ever to offer an “around the clock glucose control program.” This offers tremendous benefits and a new alternative for the millions of people who struggle with blood sugar issues or diabetes on a daily basis. The best part is the program is simple – just eating 3 snacks throughout the day as part of a healthy meal plan will help keep blood sugar stable and in control, around the clock.
Backed by 6 clinical studies, the formula in ExtendSnacks is clinically proven to help control hunger, avoid blood sugar lows and highs, and provide energy that lasts – benefits that are of great value for diabetes, weight management or fitness-minded consumers. Developed by respected endocrinologist Dr. Francine Kaufman, Extend Snacks have earned 15 patents worldwide to date. Dr. Kaufman is current head of the Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, a past president of the American Diabetes Association, and is featured regularly as a medical editor/advisor to the media.
Controlling blood sugar is the most important aspect of managing diabetes, but it has traditionally been hard to achieve. When blood sugar is controlled, the risks associated with diabetes greatly diminish. This is exactly why ExtendShakes were created, to allow consumers and their families to indulge themselves with a thick and creamy shake – without any guilt – because they are in control and making healthy choices for their bodies.
ExtendShakes complement the existing ExtendBars and ExtendCrisps to offer a new and innovative blood sugar management solution. Simplicity and variety are the keys to providing a program that consumers will adopt and stick to. ExtendSnacks have met both of these criteria with their diverse line of great tasting bars, savory crisps and velvety smooth shakes. “No other snack food brand is backed by such in-depth and credible science; yet, we present a simple glucose and hunger control program. That simplicity makes a real difference in our everyday lives,” says Vijay Chauhan, President of ExtendSnacks.
ExtendShakes are sold in convenient 32g powdered packets that mix easily with skim milk or water; there are 5 packets per retail carton; and they are available in three consumer favorite flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry. ExtendShakes are low in fat, packed with 15 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, fortified with 24 vitamins and minerals, contain just 2g net carbs, and only 1g of sugar.
All ExtendSnacks are superior nutritionally to conventional pre-packaged foods currently on the market. Their unique, patented formula contains a scientifically selected mixture of soy protein, complex carbohydrate, and dietary fiber - only using premium and healthy ingredients. Whether a consumer is looking for gluten-free, sugar-free, kosher, cholesterol free, low carb, low glycemic, high protein, or low-fat snacks, ExtendSnacks provides choices. In addition, each snack is individually packaged to deliver just the right amount of nutrients to help with portion control, diabetes management, and heart health.
ExtendSnacks endeavors to become the one brand people with diabetes, pre-diabetes and people looking to live a healthier life can count on to assist them in managing blood glucose levels twenty-four hours a day. By providing high quality, easy to understand products to consumers nationwide, the ExtendSnacks brand is not only revolutionizing the way people shop, but changing the way they think about how they live their lives.

• ExtendSnacks Launches First and Only Crunchy Snacks that help Manage Blood Sugar
RELEASED 2/25/2008
Extend Snacks LAUNCHES FIRST AND ONLY Crunchy Snacks that Help manage blood sugar
Healthy Snack Leader Extend snacks Debuts Five Great-Tasting crunchy crisp Flavors Featuring patented formula that helps control blood sugar for up to 9 hours.
St. Louis, MO (Feb. 26, 2008) – Extend Snacks, creators of the ever-popular ExtendBar®, transforms American snacking into a healthful culinary delight with the launch of ExtendCrisps®. Patented technology, utilizing uncooked cornstarch, make ExtendCrisps® the first and only crunchy snack clinically proven to provide up to 9 hours of glucose control. And with a classic taste and crunch that consumers expect when snacking, it's almost impossible to believe ExtendCrisps can be a healthful addition to your daily eating regimen.
With a built-in consumer-base for ExtendBar®, Extend Snacks reached out and asked its long-time, loyal customers what flavors they missed most in crunchy snacks. The five resultant consumer-inspired flavors include White Cheddar, Italian Herb, Honey BBQ, Cinnamon, and Zesty Ranch. Debuting in January 2008, these all-natural crisps have no trans fat, are a good source of protein and fiber, and will retail for approximately $1.49 for a snack-size bag.
ExtendCrisps® were specifically designed to help stabilize blood sugar levels for up to 9 hours. Its patented formula converts gradually to blood sugar over 7-9 hours instead of all at once like so many other snacks. ExtendCrisps® are clinically proven to help control hunger by suppressing appetite, reduce blood sugar swings, avoid low blood sugar even overnight, and sustain energy during exercise and recovery.
Where bad snacking usually gets in the way of good health, ExtendCrisps® provides consumers the choice of replacing junk-food snacks with healthful options without sacrificing taste or crunch. Extend Snacks is committed to combating the dual epidemics of obesity and diabetes with each and every bite. Visit http://www.extendbar.com/ for more information about managing your blood sugar and your health.

GOOD-BYE SUGARY SODA, HELLO EXTENDBAR!
Local Doctor/Inventor, Dr. Kaufman Introduces ExtendBar to Southern California Retail
LOS ANGELES, CA (January 21, 2008) – Francine R. Kaufman, M.D., a key figure in the LA Unified School District banning of sodas, is launching a uniquely healthy food bar into Southern California retail. ExtendBar®, which helps control blood sugar levels for up to nine hours and a very popular direct to consumer product since 1999, is now available in Albertson’s, Ralph’s and Walgreens locations throughout Southern California. Dr. Kaufman hopes that making this product more easily accessible will enable families to make lifestyle choices which produce lasting health benefits and reduce risk of disease. Over the last decade, obesity and diabetes have reached epidemic proportions in America and worldwide; Dr. Kaufman created ExtendBar as a response to the challenges of these growing epidemics.
ExtendBar is an innovative snack bar that is specifically formulated to help control blood sugar for up to nine hours, longer than any other snack on the market today, and holds fourteen patents. Sugar is the fuel that provides energy to our body’s cells for everything from movement to thought. Dr. Kaufman designed the bar (in her own LA home) using slowly metabolizing carbohydrates to extend the release of glucose into the bloodstream. By doing so, ExtendBar has been clinically proven to naturally reduce hunger, minimize blood sugar swings and prevent low blood sugar levels, and provide a continuous source of energy which can help for strenuous activities. With a balanced nutrition profile ExtendBar is a healthy product for anyone wishing to improve or maintain their health.
“After seeing thousands of patients suffering from the effects of abnormal blood sugar levels – ranging from loss of energy and focus, to unpredictable mood swings, to seizures – I desperately wanted to do something to improve their health and their quality of life,” says Dr. Kaufman, and she has. As an internationally respected endocrinologist, she has authored over 150 medical articles and has been a guiding force in the fight against obesity and diabetes. Dr. Kaufman is the head of the Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles; the past president of the American Diabetes Association; author of Diabesity; and a distinguished professor of pediatrics at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
Most recently, the Discovery Health Channel presented DIABETES: A GLOBAL EPIDEMIC, which follows Dr. Kaufman as she tours the world. Over a six-month period, Dr. Kaufman journeys from Los Angeles to Cape Town, South Africa; Chennai, India; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Melbourne, Australia; and Helsinki, Finland, in her quest to increase focus on the prevention, treatment and care of diabetes.

With ExtendBar, Dr. Kaufman has endeavored to build a brand that people with diabetes, dieters, healthy actives, and their children can count on to assist them in managing their blood sugar levels and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. ExtendBar has built a loyal and passionate consumer following over the past seven years, and is committed to growing this audience by making its products more readily available to consumers in the retail outlets they shop daily. “We believe partnering with Albertsons, Ralphs and Walgreens is a great opportunity for more people to experience the ExtendBar brand and what so many of our loyal, long-time customers have discovered about us,” said Vijay Chauhan, President of Clinical Products, LLC. “Our products really work!”
