Has anyone out there used Atkins bars for protein supps? How does the "net carb" thing relate to GBS patients?

I have used them...but i find i like the taste of the EAS advant EDGE carb control bar int he flavor peanut chocloate crisp. I am picky and some just taste nasty.

I count the full carbs never the net carbs like atkins.
I think as long as the sugar and sugar alchols carbs and protein
are in balance and you like the taste go for it!!

I like the South Beach Meal Replacement bars better than Atkins. I went through a phase where the SB ones were too sweet, but I've recently started liking them again. They're not quite as dense as the Atkins ones.

I haven't found any that are under 15 carbs. That was the magic number when I was diagnosed with diabetes. They said to count everything like Lisa said. I am still trying to watch my sugar intake. I eat enough fruit and nuts as it is lol

I used to eat the Atkins bars when I was on Atkins, and beleive me there are other brands out there that tast much better.

I used to like the Carb Control brand, but since I have not been following that WOE for a while I don't even know if they still make them.

I was looking at those today at the store, the atkins, and some other ones... they have protein yeah, but GOOD LORD!!! Look at the sugar and the carbs. Way too much for me! I havent had the surgery yet, but my nutritionist showed me how to read labels, and there are bars out there that are way more healthy than that.
But good question!!

Phyllis im so glad your nutritionist taught you had to read the labels~
ITS very important.
THATS why i have really only had the EAS lo carb bars when i found them at walmart!
YOUR gonna do well being taught those guidelines!
