Atkins shakes

[journey00]

I was something sweet soooo bad that I physically put an oreo in my mouth & spit it out whole! I had some chocolate Atkins shakes that I bought a while back but had not drank because I've read so much that they stall. Well, I downed one & it hit the spot. Has anybody drank these things & not stalled?? I figured that was better than half a bag of Oreos. Anyone know?

Re: Atkins shakes

Im not sure about the shakes, but for my rare craving for something sweet I go for sugar free jello. Its not quite chocolate but maybe it will work for you. Remember to watch your sweetner intake though.

Those cravings can be killer, can't they! Some folks are able to use the shakes without problems, but most can't. Why don't you read through the recipe forums to find healthier alternatives the next time you just have to have something sweet! You can do amazing things with cream, cream cheese, unsweetened cocoa and Splenda!

What is in the shakes? If they contain milk then they need to be saved till you reach the dairy rung of OWL.

AS others have said it is possible to make yourself some 'legal' induction recipes with sweetener in if you like - make sure you stay within your max of 3 servings of sweetener a day.
