When I had been on Atkins previously, I used their bars and I liked them. The first bite was strange, but after that they were tasty to me. I was not aware of the hidden carbs at that time and did well in my weight loss. I have not tried other bars and not real big on protein shakes.

I guess it comes down to a personal choice if a person feels they're worth the carbs or not. I know they helped me immensely and kept me from straying ... they were my sweet for the day.

I am interested to see what others come up with in this thread.
