the breakfast bars did stall me....they contain sugar alcohols that tend to stall some people. The shakes i haven't had a problem with tho and i have one every morning for breakfast....i can't eat eggs at all so i had to find something else. You can also have other things for breakfast...meat from dinner the night before...ham and cheese wraps...anything lc that you can stomach in the morning is fine.

Oh and about the shakes....don't pay the very expensive price for the atkins one.....slim fast makes a great one with only 2g of carbs in it and it is $5 for 4 of them....compared with the $7-$9 price of the atkins.

good luck...hope you find something that works for you!
