Re: Atkins Bars --- Dis --- Gus --- Ting!!!

The one I like the most is the Chocolate Decadence bar.
I think they are good for maintenance.

Put this in perspective though..... because we have to import them to Australia, the price for an individual bar is anything from $4.50 to $5.50

haha, I shouldn't laugh but it's funny because I know what you mean!
Now, if you want to try something REALLY disgusting, try the Atkins shakes. It's like drinking dish water!! I was actually sick in Tescos car park after one sip after my best friend "high recommended" them.

I still don't know how she manages to drink them...oh my!

Hi,

Like the bars, I find the shakes hit or miss. I like the chocalate royal (net 2 grams) versus the 1 gram chocolate. It's actually kind of ... (wait for it)...good! The others are yucky.

A low carb protein powder that's good is ISO PURE. You can get a bucket of it from any GNC. Really, very palatable. The chocolate tastes kind of like a YooHoo. Not a meal replacement drink, but good for a snack.

But, bars I understand that one might buy, it's because we're used to bars.
But we're trying to get away from all that old bad way of living.
But why would someone buy those even more revolting gross shakes?

personally I love that line

food should be something that comes on a plate...something you sit down and enjoy and feed your eyes, nose and mouth...along with your body.... not in a package that you cram.....I am sorry I am so opposed to this kind of thing I can not tell you..they are completely self defeating ....

I live a very busy life and time is valuable to me ..so the excuse tht you need something quick even is not going to cut it ....those bars are unjustifiable crap ...but that is me and my opinion again!!!

if you need a "snack" in a hurry you are better off moving up a rung to get to seeds and nuts...or fruits ...whole food makes whole bodies Pres you re right they are disgusting ...on all levels!!!! but what a commercial success to make people think they are good

Re: Atkins Bars --- Dis --- Gus --- Ting!!!

For real?

All bars, Atkins and Low Carb should come with warning labels."Beware!! These Bars Will Stall Weight Loss"

Re: Atkins Bars --- Dis --- Gus --- Ting!!!

I think these Syntrax Whey Protein shakes are great! Zero carbs per scoop, very sweet, and a nice, welcome change from the usual Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla.

Re: Atkins Bars --- Dis --- Gus --- Ting!!!

I used whey protein to make smoothies on my pre-induction dieting and will again when I move up the rungs. They really are good. But I think there is a lot more nutrition there than in the Atkins shakes and bars. I'll never eat any of those again. Yuck.

Re: Atkins Bars --- Dis --- Gus --- Ting!!!

For real?

I don't trust a lot the Splenda-fied foods. I tend to add "total carbs" - "fiber". I don't trust the non-digestive theory. It just doesn't "feel" right.

better to go get a chicken leg.

Re: Atkins Bars --- Dis --- Gus --- Ting!!!

food I tell you ...cut up cook and eat real live food ...that is your best bet...but hey what the heck do I know???

[Heidi3]

Re: Atkins Bars --- Dis --- Gus --- Ting!!!

how on earth can some powder in a can or a bar...replace a plate of well prepared food? I do not get it and never will sorry ...you guys want that stuff ..eat it ...but I really want to eat something real!!! I think you avoid the same traps if you learn to appreciate every bite you take

[Heidi3]

Re: Atkins Bars --- Dis --- Gus --- Ting!!!

Fawn you turn me on too your veggie smoothies have me swoon and I am telling you ..at least you handle the food as you put it in the blender and nothing gets lost!!!.... you know what you are eating or drinking

[Heidi3]

Re: Atkins Bars --- Dis --- Gus --- Ting!!!

food is so sensual I do not get the point of being involved with it if you do not appreciate it and want a part of making it....

ok I am going to shut up now!!!! sorry

[cristylp]

Re: Atkins Bars --- Dis --- Gus --- Ting!!!

LOL Heidi.... when I was making smoothies it was all healthy and real food in it. I just put the whey powder in it for the protein. But I won't ever never eat the bars and canned shakes, I promise! And I ain't even doing the whey protein stuff right now!
