Re: Hot shake?
I don't think heating it would alter the carbs... but, beware of shakes and bars... they stall soooo many people! You could probably make hot chocolate by using cream and water, cocoa and splenda...

Re: Hot shake?
heating an Atkins shake will do nothing to the chemistry of the shake ..so to answer your question ...nope does not change the net carbs

Thank you both!
>>but, beware of shakes and bars... they stall soooo many people! You could probably >>make hot chocolate by using cream and water, cocoa and splenda...
I will probably do the cream and cocoa after I get off Induction, but with Stevia instead of Splenda -- but for now I feel safer with the shake. I don't use much of the shake in my coffee -- one lasts about 3 days -- believe it or not I like it better than cream in my coffee!

I'll post an introduction on that thread soon . . .

Re: Hot shake?
Glad they (shakes and bars) are working for you. Some people do do ok on them, it's true. But... if you should hit a stall, that's the first place I'd look and the first things I'd ditch...Before and after:

Re: Hot shake?
jean, you may find out as you get further along in this that what didn't stall then, might stall now. so keep tabs on that.
