Yes, Kristine you've got a point there - the white flour and some other ingredients are not the best - but still if someone is only interested in the total carb count per serving - they are going to help a lot of people out. A lot of Atkins recipes are ridiculous to someone not doing the plan - and some of these don't contain the healthiest ingredients either - how much nutrition is actually in bacon??? and I doubt that people on Atkins would make Atkins recipes to eat every single day - but for special occasions they might - so it would be the same thing with these low fat/low carb combo recipes.
