“I have been eating PROTEIN BAR for a little over two months now, and it has not only incredibly changed my lifestyle and confidence, but I have lost 15 pounds! In addition to eating at your place, I have been regularly exercising and eating right, but with my hectic lifestyle I truly believe your restaurant has made the difference.” − Ashley, Chicago, IL “In the 3 months that I have been coming to PROTEIN BAR, I have lost 21 pounds. I eat at Protein Bar 3-4 days per week and even stock up for the weekend. I’m really excited to have a place where I can get good food.” − Andrea, Chicago, IL "I was recently diagnosed with a gluten and dairy intolerance, making eating at restaurants quite challenging. Protein Bar is able to cater to those very specific needs, which allows me to enjoy a varied menu of healthy and delicious foods. Protein Bar's staff has also been very forthcoming with nutritional information for modified menu items, which helped me lose 65lbs over the summer and successfully keep the weight off." − Deborah, Chicago IL Protein Bar
