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

We all react to foods differently. That's why OWL is a great phase of the Atkins diet---we can determine what foods are good for us and what foods aren't.

If you are craving sweets, you might want to re-examine your OWL menu and see if there has been any new food additions that could have caused this unstable blood sugar for you.

Also, the chocolate craving sometimes indicates a magnesium deficiency. A couple of months ago, I was craving chocolate and couldn't figure out why. Then I remember the magnesium deficiency thing. When I got my magnesium levels normal, I stopped craving chocolate.

Re: Atkins shakes

The shakes dont bother me, but then I am a slow loser and they may be a contributer. I never drank them on induction. I keep them handy in my fridge for days when I need to eat on the go which is not very often. I think it is a personal choice. You need to figure out if they stall you. If not drink them in moderation....They aint good for ya...anything with that many unpronounceable ingredients cant be.
