Re: Do you drink Atkins shakes?
Ania, nope. Most don't. The shakes really are NOT induction friendly. The new book pushes them because the Dr. isn't alive to take issue with it. He really wanted to people to get away from that kind of stuff and stick to less processed foods.
Now, if you read the thread on the extended induction forum on Eggnog shakes you may enjoy those if you are looking for something sweet and protein-filled.

Re: Do you drink Atkins shakes?
This board follows DANDR 2002 and not the "newer" corporate structure named for Atkins.
According to Dr. Atkins in DANDR 2002, bars and shakes should only be used in emergencies. If you compare the ingredients to the acceptable food list for induction, they clearly are not induction food.
Frankly speaking, learning how to eat whole foods rather than processed stuff yields better results as far as I've seen in my nearly six years on this board.
When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.

Re: Do you drink Atkins shakes?
I have one occasionally - I do keep them in my fridge. My husband has one every morning. He never used to eat anything for breakfast, so I'm glad he's at least drinking these. He has lost, so all is well.sigpic

Re: Do you drink Atkins shakes?
I have one in my fridge in case I need to take one with me in an emergency but I almost always feel the need to add a little fat with it somewhere to keep it from stoking my appetite.
I have also used the Endulge bars for a sweets craving (usually from consuming too much artificial sweetner!!) but rarely.
