I keep seeing the term "slider foods"...Could someone please give some examples of what these are and why they are not good to eat...or are they? Thanks!

Liquids are sliders. Ice cream and shakes are sliders. For most of us, processed junk food is a slider, like chips and cookies. Chocolate is a slider food because it melts.

Slider foods are food that immediately pass right through the band. When you eat 3oz of protein, you have to be careful not to get suck and if you over-eat chances are you're going to feel it. With slider foods, they just go through the band like a liquid so you can pretty much eat it unlimited with no physical repercussions.

I personally don't believe any food is off limits, including sliders, as long as you eat it them in moderation and within your daily calorie allowance. You just have to be very aware when eating slider foods so you don't accidentally eat too much.

Thanks Missy!
