Actually you can buy any three promotional packs of kelloggs which says "free fitband" the price may vary according to what pack you buy.
I bought special k cereal bars £1 each so three packs for £3 only from sainsbury on offer and then pay £3 postage. There were other special k products on offer too but this was the cheapest.
Then just go on the url and pay for postage and wait for it to arrive which may take upto 3 week or more as i have experienced they send out the product late!

How are they 'packed with sugar' though? I mean, you don't ever say that when someone has cereal with milk, right? But why not? Semi skimmed milk has around 9.5g sugar per 200ml, so before you've even added cereal to breakfast you're getting more sugar than these cereal bars.
The stigma around these is hilarious to be honest, mainly due to the ridiculous Daily Mail articles, etc. I personally think they are absolutely fine as long as you don't sit on your **** all day expecting to lose weight! Low in salt, low in saturates, low in calories, but a pretty good source of vitamins, fibre and slow burning energy if you buy ones with nuts/seeds/wholemeal cereal etc. Sure there's a few bad breakfast/cereal bars - worryingly the ones aimed at kids, but then you should always read nutritional info, etc.
I'm really quite intrigued on how the HUKD Anti-Sugar Division Food Police survive without sugar. I'm amazed they have the energy to even browse this site tbh!

I think you guys need to so some research instead of shamelessly accusing people.
Sugars in milk come from lactose, which is a natural sugar produced by milk and enzymes.
This is different to added simple sugars present in cereal.
Honey has a high sugar content and is not as good a substitute as sugars present in fruit for example, from fructose. Fructose in fruit won't spike your blood sugar due to the high fibre content in fruit.
Not all sugars are equal.

What are the main features of my fitband?
The main features of the fitband are:
Step counter
Time mode
Distance mode
soon basically a pedometer.

The question you should be asking is... Does the fitband actually work?

The simple answer is no you won't get fit from a fitband

Seems to be pretty good for the price, seems a little better than a basic step counter, pretty much all a fitbit does really.

Yes thats whay the amount thats written says £6 minimum which includes postage and £3 packs of cereal bars! Or else you may choose any other pack which will be more expensive.

Heat. Worth the money to track how many steps are done in a day and a good motivator to increase physical activity. See how you get on with this device before you decide to upgrade to something like a Fitbit or Jawbone.

I know that. But members here seem to have such a stigma toward sugar in general. At the end of the day these are low calorie bars and they actually don't have much sugar in comparison to things people consume daily without thinking twice about. I mean, the 6.5g in Special K Red Berry Cereal Bars barely amounts to 1.5 teaspoons of sugar ffs.
At under 100 calories and about 6.5g of sugar they are actually pretty good for people wanting to diet while doing light daily exercise to lose weight. The calories from this would be burned off after a 1-mile 20 minute walk...

They have managed to type and string together coherent sentences, so can't be a sun reader.
But anyway, yeah as far as cereal bars go these don't seem that bad for sugar, mind you they are pretty small and you'll feel like you've not eaten anything once you finish, but still...

Thanks OP , have been thinking about getting something like this, am taking part in the GCC ( Global Corporate Challenge ) and am thinking that over the course of the 100 days I'm likely to lose the pedometer they give you, so this would be a handy backup if I can get it in time.

Low calorie is usually considered 5 G of sugar per 100g. I kinda hate the whole bar thing we have nowadays. You'd think eat natural and all those things are low in sugar, but for the same amount of calories you could have a whole fruit. And that'd have more fibre and vitamins, so not really a great option I think.
If I want a chocolate bar I'd rather keep it as a treat and have a real chocolate bar rather than a small substitute. They never seem as satisfying lol

Not really about the sugar, the carbohydrate content/GI index is pretty naff with most kelloggs cereal.
HOWEVER; cereal bars are made for people who don't have time for cereal in the morning. Having a cereal bar is far better than not having anything at all as your metabolism won't start burning and neither will your brain

Icannothinkofusername to Amy21

It is purely a step counter with time & distance mode. The pack says that it has a calorie counter mode but that is incorrect. It does not. BTW someone is selling one on eBay for £5.00 plus £3.35 postage!!!!!

Who said anything about cereal? That's junk food packed with sugar too.
These bars have 13g of sugar per 37g of product. That's over a 3rd of it pure sugar. It would be like having a bowl of porridge and making every 3rd spoonful from a bowl of pure sugar.
I find it offensive that this sort of promotion dupes people into thinking what they are eating is healthy. It's not, it's the worst kind of junk food and the worst possible way to start a day. Glucose spike at 9am, sandwich van by 11.30am guaranteed.
