that Dr Atkins would sell bars with hidden carbs...

He stresses making sure you find hidden carbs then promotes a product with a super high carb count.

I sure am glad I found this out early on, but I agree with you Em, they would be a lifesaver for times when you just can't eat the right thing. No matter how hard you plan, eventually you get stuck with no way of getting anything low carb.

And for those of us with busy lifestyles they would be a dream come true.

Maybe these are things that should only be used when you get to OWL...or maintenance. If so, somebody should shout that out loud for all us newbies! LOL
