  • Just noticed something interesting at Atkins.com

    I've notice several threads complaining about the "new" Atkins.com site, so I decided to go visiting. Everyone's right -- its nothing more, now, than a big commercial for the products.

    I did notice that they have a new frankenfood -- The Caramel Nut Brownie Bar (or something like that). Which, they say, in big bold letters, has no sugar alcohols. Maybe my two years of ranting against SA's didn't totally fall on deaf ears! (Of course, as we say, low carb junk food is still junk food.)

    I suppose the carb counter could be quite useful.
    A PDF version can be downloaded.

    It quotes "per portion", which is a pain becuase I like to see carbs per unit weight or volume - then I can do my own arithmetic.
    Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
    he said, 'Don't count calories.'

      And, as in the old site, the lettering is grey and not fully black. Now there is a cazy design feature - designed to make it difficult for some to read.

        LOL Chris even though some consider it "porn" you could have linked us to the bar and not made us go looking. no sugar alcohols is right but they upped the net carb count to 8 for the bar from the 2 effective net carbs it used to be.

        it still has the glycerine the polydextrose though
