Re: Fuzzy math on Atkins bars? | | Glad to see that people are starting to gain an in-built aversion to those infernal bars...however, I believe the sanctimonious moralizing over using them that occurs in the many many threads where they appear is rather useless...best I can advise people is, before making your choice, remember two things...
1) Dr. Atkins cared about our weight loss because he was both a Doctor AND had weight issues, therefore, he had a vested interest in helping people overcome weight problems. This means, when he was alive, the bars had his guarantee because he could have a little more control over their ingredients.
2)Dr. Atkins is no longer with us. Atkins Nutritionals is now a company run by corporate fatcats that want to make money. They make money when we fail! If everyone succeeded no one would need their products. Of course this is typical of any and all corporate weight loss programs. Which means they do not have a vested interest in our success.
Those are the best two things to keep in mind before buying anything with the Atkins label.
