Acceptable or NOT acceptable?

[AllTheBoysWANTme]

Land of lakes makes a heavy whip cream that has 0 carbs and 0 sugars, can I have like half a can a day

What about the atkins shakes? The vanilla has 2 carbs, 2 fiber, and 1 gram of sugar for a whole shake at 150 cals.

I am a college student, work full time, and take care of my aunt so this is something I would use daily (say breakfast), I only have time to prepare meals a day and most of day I am away from home.

THANKS YOU GUYS!

Re: Acceptable or NOT acceptable?

I responded to your question about the cream on your other post.

As for the shakes - as some other posters said on that thread, the shakes are often found to be a problem by other members and most people feel they are better left till later on your Atkins journey.

You quoted the carb content but didnt mention the other nutrition info.

I did a quick check on the Atkins company website and found nutrition info which sowed that they contain quite a lot of protein (about twice as much as fat) so I feel that if you 'ate' just these for a meal with no vegetables or extra fat that you would be overdoing the protein.

Remember, Atkins is NOT a high protein way of eating, but a high fat one - the usually mentioned ratios for induction are 65% fat/30% protein/5% carbs.

Dr Atkins told us in DANDR

make sure you are not consuming excess quantities of protein. When eaten to excess, protein converts to glucose.
