Atkins bars

[hybridchild0o]

Ok why is it that the actual Atkins companys says that some of these bars are ok on all phases if there not??!!! Are they screwing with us? Why not just put that they arent ok on all phases. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh! It really grinds my gears!!!

Re: Atkins bars

They only market the atkins bars, shakes and other products to make a profit. If you read DANDR 2002, you would know that those frakenfoods should be used only in emergency cases when you cannot get to any atkins friendly foods. So your best bet is to completely ditch the atkins products

Re: Atkins bars

It's been our collective experience on ADBB that the bars and shakes have a tendency to slow or stop weight loss in some folks. So we don't recommend them during Induction Phase.

Also, you have to remember that the Atkins Company is out to make $$$$$$$$$. Since they got out of the nutritional supplements business (vitamins) and gotten into the "functional foods" business, they promote their products.

Re: Atkins bars

I use atkins bars (and only bars - no shakes/cereals or anything else) for emergencies only - when I am surrounded by people eating large chunks of chocolate cake and I can't get away and I'm in a place which is the opposite of heaven. Other than that I do not touch the stuff. Even for day trips I make a safe lunch box with safe foods.
I have had complete failures on atkins with the bars. It says 23 carbs on the side and to me, that IS 23 carbs. oh well.

Re: Atkins bars

Those chocolate peanut butter ones are my personal devil. I will not touch them this time until I am waaaay down the road and know that I can have the willpower to eat just one, not one a day!
