Wouldn't recommend during induction
Hi cutiepie
Altho LC bars are LC, they are not recommended during Atkins induction.
Even on OWL, many people find that the LC bars cause their weight loss to slow or stall. Some people actually metabolize some of the artificial sweeteners (resulting in more carbs into their system).
Also, be prepared for gastric disturbances if you eat LC bars with Maltitol in them. After only 1/4 of a bar, I'm socially unacceptable within an hour or two (if ya know what I mean). Other folks get a more severe reaction (laxative effect).
Better, IMHO, during induction, is to stick to the basics exactly. Learn what foods are "induction legal" and try new vegetables. Eat legal foods whenever you are hungry and stop when you're full.
Later, if you try LC bars, be sure to listen to your body and notice what happens.
