Dear Weetabix,

Thousands of Slimming World members including me have enjoyed your Alpen Light Bars as a healthy extra B choice (a great choice for breakfast or a snack) on the Slimming World Plan for a long time and we are upset you have decided to change the recipe making most of your bars over 4 Syns rather than being a free food (HEB choice)

A lot of people I know have been stock piling the old recipe bars so it won’t be long before they are replaced in many supermarkets with your new recipe bars which may taste better than the old ones but are no good to us Slimming World members. They contain more calories and less fibre and as a result of the change and can no longer be classed as a HEB by Slimming World

Slimming World members buy boxes of these every week and are really going to miss these; the new bars are not worth the 4 syns from our daily allowance of 5-15 so I certainly will not be bothering when for 2 more Syns I can have a Cadbury Curly Wurly.

Here are the latest nutrition details for the new Alpen Light bars:

Summer Fruit 21g, 79 kcal, 1.8g fibre =4 Syns per bar
Cherry Bakewell 23g, 88 kcal, 2.0g fibre =4 ½ Syns per bar
Apple Sultana 23g, 86 kcal, 1.9g fibre =4 ½ Syns per bar
Lemon Drizzle 23g, 85 kcal, 2.0g fibre =4 ½ Syns per bar
Chocolate & Fudge 23g, 89 kcal, 2.0g fibre =4 ½ Syns per bar
Double Chocolate 21g, 81 kcal, 1.8g fibre =4 Syns per

More people in the UK choose to attend Slimming World groups each week than any other weight loss group. Have you thought about the drop in sales that you will certainly have as a result of making this change????

If you are a Slimming World member and feel the same way please sign this petition to encourage Weetabix to bring back the old recipe bars.

The response to this has been overwhelming and it shows how many people truly miss the old bars. I am exhausted from the constant back and forth but seeing this level of support keeps me focused on getting a real answer.

Please bring back lower calorie bars. You are going to lose a lot of fans if not.
