I have one thing to say BARS, BARS, BARS! I bought some and ate only one so far. 2 net carbs sounds great and it tastes like CHOCOLATE! What could be wrong with that? Then I started reading on the boards how all these people are stalling and they can have up to 20 plus hidden carbs in each bar! Yikes! I have 6 more left in my cabinet that I am only saving for DIRE emergency (like it's either eat the bar or inhale and entire box of captain crunch!). The only reason I'm keeping them at all is because they were expensive and I feel like I can't just toss money in the garbage.

I'm not too sure about the shakes but I suspect from the other replies you have been getting they will put you in the same boat. All in all don't give up. This WOE is great! Stick with real food-- there is A LOT you can eat and it tastes GREAT! Give it one more try!
