I have trouble with the Atkins bars/candy, too. I can never figure out how they come up with those low-carb figures. I know it has something to do with the sugar alcohols. I find that if I eat those more than once every couple weeks, I gain weight. Same with the shakes.....I limit myself to one every couple days (and oh, how I love them!!). Did anybody try dumping the shake into the blender and adding lots of ice to it? When you chop the ice up with the shake it makes it REALLY thick and yummy! I get more than a quart of shake doing it that way and it's such a treat!
I feel like I'm really "getting away" with something!!!!!
