I lost most of my weight having an atkins bar for lunch. Note I had the atkins bar for LUNCH, not as a snack. I found they satisfied my hunger and did not cause me trouble. I would not use them as "free food" while doing OWL, since I have always believed that in the end it was the calories (or lack there of) that caused my weight lost. I find Atkins very helpful in regulating my eathing.
