Re: Atkins Shakes
It's been the collective experience of ADBB that shakes, bars, etc. have a tendency to stop or slow down weight loss in some people. Since the first 14 days of Induction are very important because the results you get will help you plan the rest of your Atkins, we discourage their use during the first 14 days.

Re: Atkins Shakes
ask yourself if you want to be like the repeat Slimfast folk shedding the pounds fast but gaining them back over and over again. Use chapter 11 food lists so you can learn to eat in the real world with portion control and acceptable foods and recipes to help you morph your body to be the healthier smaller person you want to be.

Re: Atkins Shakes
no don't start again just leep going and know your induction results might be off slightly when you use the charts for metabolic ressitance and estimated CCLL.

Re: Atkins Shakes

Re: Atkins Shakes
Gosh, now you can't take anything, right?! My friend told me they are even banning gel bras. GEL BRAS. Can you imagine going to the airport and being told to remove your bra for the flight? Ack!

Re: Atkins Shakes
Had to laugh when I read about the "gel bra" removal at the airport!
As far as shakes go, I don't stall when I drink them, but I do stall when I have a bar. Everyone is different. I think moderation is key, just don't have the shakes or bars everyday.

But advisable to have neither the bars or the shakes in the first 14 days.Originally posted by bhrungoHad to laugh when I read about the "gel bra" removal at the airport!

Re: Atkins Shakes
One of the main reasons we discourage the use of bars and shakes is that in the end, they too are processed, and Dr. Atkins devised a program of whole and healthy foods, getting rid of processed foods and replacement bars/meals shakes, to jump start your metabolism into ketosis and weight loss.
Our modern "dieting" society has been pushing all these diet foods, low-fat/lowcalorie replacements foods for many years now, but yet, our population's obesity problem keeps getting worse. Most those here on ADBB who go by DANDR tend to do much better with plain regular food, not replacement processed food.
If bars/shakes stall you on Induction, how will you be able to determine your metabolism status, as Dr. Atkins wrote in DANDR? The same goes for cheating.
I've never had any bars or shakes. If I've been in a situation where I was going to miss a meal, I tried to prepare ahead of time with good nutritious snack, or tried for find something wholesome and good. At the worst, I would recommended eating something from a rung in OWL (ex. nuts, yogurt) rather than have a bar or shake. Or instead of a shake, have a cup of tea with a little sweetener.
