| This product was awesome! I am new to watching my calories, fat, and carbs as a recently diagnosed diabetic and a person trying to lose weight. I bought a box of 10 to try, and my son who loves Slim Jim's, liked these more. The BBQ flavor is so tasty! I took a few to work for friends who are also watching what they eat to try, and of the six people who tried them, they all liked them a lot. I just ordered 4 more 10 packs. |

| Have tried them all. Great snack with high protein low fat content. Natural flavor is best in my opinion. Pepper is a bit too peppery and BBQ a little too sweet for my taste. I carry them in my work bag and golf bag. |

| Yum, Yum & more Yum...What more can I say. Fabulous snack on the run, or anytime you need a quick picker-upper. My fav's are the Ostrim Teriyaki & BBQ flavors, but really they are all great. Note: My 13 yr old loves these.. I have to hide them and ration them out or I would never get one...LOL |

| I just love the Beef Teriyaki. A lot of protein for a small portion. These are sooooo much better than the regular beef sticks, because there is no greasy residue on the roof of you mouth. I've had a gastric bypass 6 yrs ago, and keep one of these in my purse and one in my gym bag for a quick filling snack. The spicy pepper one is really spicy. I used to be able to eat really hot things, but this doesn't sit well. The Barbecue flavor is ok if you like BBQ, but I will stick with my Teriyaki. |

| I love this product! They are delicious, contain little fat and are perfect for a snack on the run. I'm a total "slim jim" fan but like these even more and have made converts of many friends and family members. And Netrition's price is the best I've found ANYWHERE. My favorite flavor is the "Natural" flavor but I also enjoy Barbecue and Teriyaki. THANK YOU Netrition, for offering these yummy treats at such a great price! |

| Great value for the money--they taste great, too. The pepper one is probably too spicy for me, but my son likes it. They are high in protein, and so convenient to send with the kids to school or eat on the go. |

September 04, 2010 Reviewer: Sloane in Oregon |
| I loved the calories and protein count on this one. Then was happily surprised that I didn't have to give up flavor to have low calorie and high protein. These are the perfect snack, sometimes I do get sick of protein bars. Even if I broken down and ate 2, which they are good enough for that to happen, I'd still be under the calories and over in protein to that one 200 calorie, 20 gram protein bar I like. I love having high protein choices that are so satisfying. I also miss corned beef. I took one of these and just took off the skin (which was very easy) Used my Ninja and have a very flavorful corned beef hash flavor with a red potato. Much more healthy than traditional corned beef would have been!!!!!!!!!!!! :) |

May 02, 2010 Reviewer: Matt in Texas |
| What more can you say, a quick and easy way to get extra protein without any fat or carbs. BBQ is not for me, just doesn't taste good or natural (or like other BBQ flavors). Natural and Pepper are my fav, Teriyaki is just OK, not as good as others at the store. |

March 13, 2010 Reviewer: Jean in New York |
| My husband and I are on a high protein, low fat, low carb AND sugar free "Protocol Diet." The BBQ, Natural and Pepper flavors comply with the protocol since they are sweetened with Splenda, not sugar. We like the Natural and I LOVE the Pepper (not too spicy, but with a little kick) flavors. Did not like the BBQ as much. These meat sticks are great to keep in your desk, or toss in your bag when you are going out and may get hungry before you are able to stop for a healthy snack or meal. Specifically I like them because I prefer a salty snack to a sweet snack and this fits the bill. Thank you Ostrim for a great product. AND thank you Netrition for carrying this product at a good price. |

| Wow....this stuff is amazing. I just got some in yesterday and I love it. It's a healthy slim jim for grown ups!! I got the bbq and natural. I want to try the beef snack version next time. Great for those little hunger pangs and it wont ruin your diet!! TONS of protein and little sodium and fat makes this a great choice. This is now on my "must buy" list with Netrition!! |

| I was a little skeptical when I first looked at this, but after reading all the positive reviews I decided to give it a try. They were right! Taste is great and comparable to other unhealthy "meat stick" products. And unlike other "healthy" snacks, it actually feels like you're eating real food and is fulfilling. I travel a lot, and these are convenient and easy to toss in the luggage - don't have to worry about the container opening or anything spilling or leaking out. |

| I have been using Ostrim products for quite some time now. I keep these handy for snacks around the house. I take them with me to work for between meal snacks. I keep a couple in the gym bag for an after workout snack. The shelf life is long and they are not loaded with chemicals. I like the fact that they are not "greasy" and are not loaded with sodium. I have tried almost all of the Ostrim products. They will always be a staple for me. Buy these products with confidence. |

| Ostrim is an excellent snack. I've eaten only the Natural to date, but have just ordered the Barbecue and Teriyaki flavors. I expect them to be as delicious as the Natural flavor. They're very handy to carry in a purse or small bag and especially excellent when one is eating low carb. |

| I love the Natural and Pepper Flavor. I have been using them for about 8 months and have ordered them several times. In fact I just submitted another order for more. I have recommended them to many of my friends, who are now themselves buying them. They taste great, yet no greasy coating in your mouth like so many other meat snacks. These are great!!! |

| This product is of consistently high quality, and tastes great. Of equal importance is the portability - since they are individually packaged, one can toss a couple in their pocket in the morning, and have a quick, nutritious snack at one's convenience. This has become a staple of my snack food consumption. My favorite flavor is the teriyaki, but they are all pretty good. |

July 30, 2008 Reviewer: Gloria in Florida |
| This is a great product. I always liked Slim Jims and now that I am doing low carb, low fat, Ostrim meets the need. It is just a bit salty but not bad enough to stop me from consuming it. I have had the natural flavor and am now going to try the barbecue. What is so great also is that if I want to limit my beef intake there is no problem because it is not beef!!! It is worth the price (which is not that bad) to eat healthy! |

March 31, 2008 Reviewer: A customer in Colorado |
| These are fantastic! I've only tried the natural flavor, but I'm going to try the pepper as well. Do not believe reviews that these are 'oily'....it is simply not true. Take any Slim Jim and bite the end off and give it a squeeze and you will see the orange fat ooze out. Gross! That does not happen with the Ostrim sticks. They are on the drier side, but certainly more moist than standard jerky sheets. If you like the flavor of Slim Jims (but hate that orange fat), try these! |

| I love this product. It gives the texture and feel of eating a high fat meat snack, but without all the fat! I have tried all the flavors, and they are all very good. It's nice to find a high protein snack that isn't sweet like most energy bars. I would not recommend these product to anyone watching sodium intake, as they are still processed packaged meat and do contain high sodium. |
