Greetings, Products Forum Moderator here.

DarciJJ, you're in a way cool position to let us know about new Atkins products (and others, too?!?) as they come on the retail market. Be warned, however, that it isn't JUST the fiber carbs that were being 'deducted' (actually, left off altogether from the Nutrition Facts label, which was and is illegal per the FDA), but the sugar alcohols and glycerine as well, which are legally carbs. That being said, have a look around this forum some more, you will find some interesting posts to help you round out the information you have received from the Atkins representative (and thanks for sharing with us, please keep doing so ).

Kodi10, when enjoying the Atkins Endulge (or the Carbolite chocolate bar or the Ross chocolate bar or the Delites ... well, you get the picture, there's lots of them out there, actually), remember that you need to be cautious because as you said, candy is what you know (and what probably got you here in the first place). Read labels, learn to use the Hidden Carb calculator here at this site, and make sure the hidden carbs in these candies do not affect you. If you don't feel well, or stop losing weight, these are your FIRST suspects, K?

Good luck to you both on your new Way Of Life!
