Default Re: Type I on Insulin Pump

Hi again Erin!

You asked about the Atkins breakfast bars on another thread, and at this point I would say NO! Stay away! Put down those bars! Especially since you are stalled, those (or any other type of bar/shake/frankenfood) would definitely not be something you'd want to eat just yet. Perhaps as you close in on your goal weight they could be used as an occasional snack. I'm pretty sure those have sugar alchohol, and the "net" carbs listed are questionable at best. Read what Dr Bernstein says about sugar alchohol, and I'm sure a quick search of "Frankenfood" here at ADBB will lead you to plenty of info on why we need to stay away from those sorts of foods. It's always best to eat whole natural foods, and for losing weight, nothing beats them. Look at Linda's Low Carb site Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home and you'll find some good breakfast options. Do you have any Atkins or other low carb cookbooks? I've found some excellent recipes over the years and have discovered more new ones each time I've done Atkins. Having a good variety of menus and recipes to choose from definitely helps to keep me on this WOE.

Take care!
Theresa
