Can we have protein shakes?

August 20, 2008, 06:10 AM

I love EAS 100% whey protein.

Ingredients list- doesn't contain any sugar, but the last ingredient is sucralose. It does say it contains milk ingredients.

Nutrition label- Total carbs is 3g, and sugar is 1g (and also 23g protein).

Is this ok, or b/c it says it has 1g sugar and/or it contains milk ingredients, that I'm not allowed this on the Atkins diet?

Well, sucralose is technically ok, since it's the same as Splenda, but you'd have to count the servings. However, I wouldn't do it while in induction because of the milk products. You could probably try adding it in during OWL once you get to the dairy rung.

Good luck!

Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.
