Hi Megs,
Dr Atkins pretty much says to use the bars for emergency use only - if you are out and have no access to other LC food for example.
The problem with the bars is that they contain sugar alcohols. Now Dr Atkins insists that they don't affect insulin levels, and that is true for many people, BUT many others find their weight loss stalls when they eat the bars.
Sugar alcohols can also have a most unfortunate laxative effect.
You'll find more info about sugar alcohols (and a lot of other things) in "Low Carb Tips" on the orange bar at the top of the screen.
Personally I think you are better off sticking to fresh whole foods at least during Induction. How about checking our recipe sections for some ideas?
