Many people use shakes (Atkins, EAS, slim fast, Carb solutions, designer whey and so on) for snacks and occasional meal replacments while on LC. For some this works great and offers variety. For others it means no weight loss and they have to wait until maintanance. You just have to figure out how your individual body will work.
I just bought some. I have no clue on the taste becaus eI havn't tried them yet. They only come in vanilla and chocolate so far though which is depressing. The bars are mostly malitol, so I will be avoiding them with a 10ft poll. I plan to follow the slim fast plan in which I have 2 shakes, 1 for breakfast and lunch, 3 snacks and a regular dinner. I will make all my snacks and dinners as low carb as I can though and have it more be a combination of south beach and slim fast.
Now before everyone yells at me, it's an experiment I want to try to se if it works for me. With my schedule being so hectic between work, school and kids I just don't have the energy all the time to plan meals and cook. This has ment lately I have been falling off plan. If doing this can keep me on plan, then it is the lesser of two evils.
