BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb atkins bars/shakes

are these thing real? the net carb count says like 2 or 5 but the carbs are 22 and fiber is like 10 without sugar alcohols....i know this question is prolly old and has been asked but i'd like to know if these things are good, bad, or ugly! thanks

I work the nightshift so I drink a shake (1 net carb) every morning to satisfy me until I get home to eat a big breakfast. I eat the snack bar (2 net carbs) when I get up in the late afternoon to hold me till dinner. They both are pretty good especially the bars with peanuts/nougat and the peanut butter cups. Once you stop eating sugary foods you get used to it and the shakes and bars taste sweet. The only downfall is there expensive - but worth it.

If you search on lowcarb.bellaonline.com (the content website that goes with this forum) you'll find I've reviewed a ton of the Atkins bars and shakes over the years. I personally drink EAS shakes because I like their flavor better but Bob often drinks Atkins shakes. It all depends on which flavors you personally like.

I'm not a big breakfast fan in the morning so an EAS shake gets me the nutrients, protein, fiber I need for my body without making me "eat" something. It's definitely important for your body to get it some nutrients to work with when you wake up.

EAS shakes??? Can you tell me a little bit more about this shake. I've looked all over this website and didn't find any info on them. Thanks

Okay I found info on the EAS shakes (new to this website stuff) I'm gonna give them a try. I drink the strawberry atkins which is pretty good so i'll see if I can compare. Thanks

well the bars i've eaten 2 days in a row for after dinner snack and creeped back up the scale some.....now im scared of them.....have not changes from about 20 carbs a day....do they stall or hinder anyonelses progress and i will look into the EAS shakes thanks!!!

A single bar really shouldn't have that kind of an impact on your weight, it is more likely that you were perhaps less active? How your body acts on a given day is prone to ALL sorts of things. Heck, if your period is about to start you'll naturally gain weight. That's why weighing day to day really isn't helpful. You can only track trends over a week or two, to see if you're heading up or down long term.
