. Dr. Atkins also address controlled carb products, saying they were for emergency situations (7 years on Atkins, never had one of these "emergency situations". If I'm somewhere I can buy an Atkins bar or shake, I'm somewhere I can buy cheese, sliced meats, jerky in a pinch, salads, etc. - just sayin'
) and to be used sparingly....and yet...
