Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased these bars as a convenient and tasty way to manage my weight. For years, I have enjoyed these as a snack -- great taste, great price, highly convenient. These taste like a chocolate bar so it satisfies my craving for sweets and hunger at the same time! I used this mostly as a meal replacement. In my opinion, it's equivalent to the fullness of a small meal IF YOU DRINK WATER WITH IT -- I don't get hungry again until about 2 hours later. It's also highly convenient as a quick meal on the go.
However, recently I've put myself on the strict induction phase, hoping to shed a few extra pounds for an upcoming party. For days, I went about carefully counting my carbs but I couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing more than the couple of pounds of water weight. Getting ketone strips confirmed that I wasn't in ketosis. Finally, after carefully reexamining everything I ate, I realized that these bars are questionable.
Here are nutrition facts from the label:
Calories 240
Total Fat 12g
Saturated Fat 6g
Protein 18g
Total Carbohydrate 22g
Dietary Fiber 10g
Sugar 1g
Sugar Alcohol 0g
(You can also confirm this on the Atkins website [...])
The way net carb should be calculate is
Total Carbohydrate - Dietary Fiber = Net Carb
So 22 - 10 = 12 net carbs
If you do a little interest research, you'll find forums that talk about this more in detail.
Eliminating these from my diet has finally put my body into ketosis. As I stated in the beginning, these are great tasting convenient bars to manage your weight but they're not appropriate for induction, despite what the Atkins website says.
