Re: Atkins Bars
Atkins bars and shakes are notorious for causing stalls and most people on this board, including me, think the atkins shakes and bars are not good and may cause weight loss stalls. You should be eating whole foods and try to avoid those frankenfoods at all cost and if you have to use them...use them only in emergency situationsStarting Weight: 175.2

Re: Atkins Bars
whew!! I totally agree. I had a bit of hunger growls one day while studying and I went to the nearest health store just to check out what they had ... I bought ONE strawberry atkins shake that stated safe for induction and I will NEVER drink it again. It just ISN'T safe. Especially during Induction. I'm so glad I decided not to buy any more ... Plus, they're expensive for a pack! I just can't wait to be through with Induction and slowly start my OWL/Rungs. Although, I really need to review all of the information!
Good luck Amy, best wishes

You may want to read this article, I think it will clear up any questions concerning Atkins bars:

Re: Atkins Bars
As with all foods with ingredients in them (apart from plain meat and veggies) you need to look at the list of those ingredients to decide which phase of Atkisn they are 'legal' for.
If the list includes stuff not allowed on induction then the food is not 'induction-friendly' and needs leaving till you are at the correct OWL rung/level that does allow them - assuming your body reacts favourably when you try it out.Last edited by Elizellen; April 26, 2010, 11:24 AM.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: Atkins Bars
It probably won't kick you out of ketosis but like mentioned it can stall you out. So I'd avoid them unless you are in a situation where on plan food just isn't available, then it's better than eating off plan. For now stick to real food.Atkins Start date: 01/18/2010--Now off plan for med reasons, still an Atkins lover!
