Also, I have TMJ issues and may have to have surgery on my jaw. That means a liquid diet................Protein shakes will be my best friend as I will throw up if I would blend up steak and salad for a shake.

Long ago, I had my mouth wired shut after I busted it upon a car accident. I made a "shake" out of chef boyardee. It's surprising what you can drink

Re: Atkins bars and shakes- 1000th post
Ok, I am the first to advocate eating whole, fresh foods. However, I do believe the Atkins shakes (NOT the bars) have an appropriate place in this WOE.
For instance, I get up at 3:00am and need to have something on my stomach with in 30 minutes of waking, says Dr A. in the book (2002) version. I don't like to eat food at that time of the morning.
Yes, I do have a protein shake until my stomach can handle food.
Also, I have TMJ issues and may have to have surgery on my jaw. That means a liquid diet................Protein shakes will be my best friend as I will throw up if I would blend up steak and salad for a shake.
If you step foot in my kitchen, you will see nothing but real, whole, fresh foods. Except for the shakes.
I have no issues with having 5 shakes a week as my breakfast.Leave a comment:

I couldn't agree with you more Kevin, great post! These bars and shakes are not good for us...that's the bottom line.
We need to stick to the "real" foods and stop eating processed junk.
Cheers!

Atkins bars and shakes- 1000th post
OK!
For the 1000th time this week!
Atkins bars and shakes are Frankenfoods.
Don't use them on induction!
I don't care what the Atkin's website says.
Dr. A has a list of foods to follow in the book.
Have you read the book?
Second, they have sugar alcohols and nasty stuff in them and probably should be avoided all the time.
Eat real food!
Learn what real food is, stop relying on prepackaged convenience foods. There is a reason they can sit on a shelf for two years. Try that with a steak or a head of lettuce.
Many people on here have written that these bars and shakes cause them to stop losing weight or cause gut problems. It's not a good thing to eat.
Ok, I think that covers it enough.
