Re: 1 particular craving

I find that when I am REALLY craving something sweet, I go and drink a fabulously cold Dr. Atkins shake! Now that I have been off sugar, everything tastes different. Yesterday, a stalk of celery was amazingly sweet!!!

Re: 1 particular craving

What Atkins shake do you like ?

I took a chance and bought a small 4 case at wal mart not knowing if I would like it or not and I picked out the Chocolate Royal Shake and it's OK , not great but it was OK ...

It kind of tasted the same as the Slim fast Chocolate Royal Shake ..

But over all I take small sips and it keeps me satisfied

Re: 1 particular craving

Watchout of these evil shakes.. These can stall you and really not recommended by most folks in this forum. When carvings strike, try what Dr. Atkins recommended, "L-Glutamine" 500mg or 100mg. These craving are usually common if you cheat or drink caffeine.

These shakes although have Atkins logo on them, they were not what Dr. Atkins had in mind at all.

I just made a dreamcicle shake type thingy that I am enjoying as I type. Tangerine Diet Rite, heavy whipping cream and a dash of vanilla. I mixed it with the stick blender thing (what IS that called!?), and it's smooth, creamy, cold and DELICIOUS.

Re: 1 particular craving

That's what i was going to recommend, if you are craving a MILKSHAKE and not just something sweet, perhaps your body is wanting some dairy or calcuim or whatever dairy gives us lol, maybe make a mock shake with your favorite rite right and adding some heavy cream to it.

I am looking at the can I have and it says ...
Atkins Advantage Chocolate Royal Shake
Total Carbohydrate 6g
It also states in the back of the can you can drink it in your induction phase 1

Is this OK to drink ?
You have me worried

Re: 1 particular craving

I am not sure why they say it is induction-legal, but here are the contents from Atkins web site,

INGREDIENTS: WATER, MILK PROTEIN BLEND (CASEINATE, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, WHEY POWDER), SOYBEAN OIL, COCOA POWDER (PROCESSED WITH ALKALI), CELLULOSE GEL, POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, SOY LECITHIN, SUCRALOSE, SODIUM ASCORBATE, CARRAGEENAN, ACESULFAME POTASSIUM, NEOTAME, MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE, MAGNESIUM PHOSPHATE, TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE, BIOTIN, CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE, FOLIC ACID, NIACINAMIDE, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE, THIAMIN MONONITRATE, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, CYANOCOBALAMIN, RIBOFLAVIN, ALPHA TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, PHYTONADIONE, CHROMIUM CHLORIDE, COPPER SULFATE, FERROUS FUMARATE, MANGANESE SULFATE, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, POTASSIUM IODIDE, SODIUM CITRATE, SODIUM MOLYBDATE, SODIUM SELENITE, ZINC SULFATE, MALTODEXTRIN.

Re: 1 particular craving

Well isn't this really interesting. I thought the vanilla shake was ok but you have me wondering too. Please be assured that I have one in a blue moon.... but they are good. Perhaps some of the veterans can let us know.

Wow. That sounds awesome. Now, I'm going to have to go and make me one of those. Thanks for the idea!

Re: 1 particular craving

the shakes are definitely not legal for induction, you have to wait at least until the legumes rung with it since there is soy in it.
that goes for all foods, check the ingredients (all of them) and eat them only once you are on the right rung.
also, why would you want to waste 6 precious carbs on that shake during induction when u only have 20.
you should be getting around 15 carbs from veggies alone, not saving your allowance for an "illegal" drink.

those who drink diet rite or whatever other diet drinks should also consider getting rid of those for a while because while you should learn to get rid of and control your cravings you are basically feeding them with those drinks.
