Hi Carole,
I was strolling through the local drug store the other day and ran across some Atkins bars. I had no intention of buying them, but i still read the label and was confused. The front label stated X amount of net carbs. The nutrition label on the back showed a very high amount of carbs, and even when you subtracted the few grams of fiber shown, there was a big difference between the net carbs on the front label and the nets carbs resulting from the nutrition label on the back. Did you ever notice that? Do you know why?

How's it going, repoman? Haven't read anything from you in a bit.

I think it's the sugar alcohols. I've had both the Atkins bars & shakes when I first started low carbing two years ago. Soooo many fake ingredients and all that soy. Geez. I didn't know any better back then though. Anyways, they always made me ravenous shortly after I consumed them, so how good is that??? Now I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

repoman left the building long ago -- this is an old thread.

It is the sugar alcohols among other frankenfood ingredients in them. I bought a couple boxes for my mom and tried one of each before I started Atkins - they were the nastiest things to try and eat - I spit them out and threw them away. The real way of following Atkins is full of wonderful tastes -- this crap is just that -- C R A P!!!

Ok - we'll leave repoman to whatever he's been doing all these months and won't bother his thread again.

Wow. .it's a good thing it was Beginnings by Chicago (Transit Authority). It could have been worse. . .like Junkfood Junkie by Larry Groce. . ..
