Help, Can Anyone Tell Me About Atkins Shakes
 

Hi can anyone tell me about atkins shakes. The ones that are 1 g of carb. How many can I drink? I like them as a snack and also as a meal sometimes. Thankyou Suzanne :spin:

They aren't ment as meal replacements. They are ok as an occasional snack, Atkins recomends no more then 1 a day of shakes or bars. In some people they cause stalls, but if they don't stall you go for it. Personaly I prefer EAS carb control shakes.

I use them to replace breakfast. This works great for me because I am never really hungry first thing in the morning. :wave:

THANKS
 

THANKS SO MUCH GUYS. I JUST HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION IF THERE ARE ONLY 1 CARB IN IT WHY JUST ONE A DAY? :confused: :confused:

From the Atkins web site.

THANKS
 

Since i already lost 130 pds im past induction. I want to lose 80 more. I dont use them as meals maybe one a day and one for a snack but i eat no other carbs. Thank you :cheer:

Usually you only get the shakes while doing atkins during the first week of induction!

I don't see anything wrong with having s shake a day as a snack or a quick meal. After discovering the ready-made cans I rejoiced. If you stick them in the freezer for a little while, they get thick and yummy...a great substitute for a milkshake. It's a great way to have "dessert". When it's hot out I'm so used to going straight for something icy for dessert, but now that I'm on this WOE I can't, so the shakes work out great for me.

The whole reason Slimfast never worked for me was that I'd want to eat a meal AND have the shake....and now I can!

I love a good pun. Keep em comin'! :thup:

:hyper: I didnt get mamouths joke but i still dont understand if the shake is 1 g of carbs why there is any limit. Thanks Suzanne

They limit the shakes and bars, because in the end, calories still matter. a 220 calorie shake 3 times a day wil affect you mare than a few ounces of lettuce.

I think the reason there is a limit is mroe because they want you to get your nutrition from real food instead of "fake" food.

I usually have a vanilla shake for a shake a couple of days a week. They are very good. But I do limit myself to them.

I like the Shakes
 

The shakes help me bcz I got tired of eating in the morning . It was a chore any way I'm not really hungry in the morning. so I started to skip meals..I figured I better cut that out and broke down & bought shakes..usually about 3x's a week I drink break fast other times I eat.
