Second time on induction; Question about Atkins Shake

[shadyimpala]

Hey guys,

I have a quick question about certain things I'm thinking about eating/drinking. I'm currently on induction and I was wondering if I am allowed to drink the atkins shake. I purchased the choclate delight and on the Atkins website it says it is ok for phase 1 but I just wanted to make sure.

On the box it says its 2g net carbs, 1g sugar, 57mg sucralose. Is it ok to drink this without worrying about anything?

First time I did Atkins was 3 years ago, I stayed on induction for 6 weeks and I did not use any of the atkins products. I went from 205 to 175. I just want to make sure it wont affect my weight loss this time around, so if anyone has any input that would be great.


Thanks.

I asked the same question when I was on induction and the answer was do NOT drink the shakes. They seem to stall a lot of people and on induction it is good to use mostly whole food.

Maybe this time you should plan to do OWL as well. I find that it is helping me make good food choices that hopefully will stay with me for a long time.

Liv is right. I used to drink the shakes all the time a few years ago and looking back they were definately stalling me. And please move to OWL after induction. I have lost 29/35 pounds on OWL, not induction. It so important to add foods back in and learn to eat this way for life so you don't become a second timer like me!

I try to avoid those products like the plague, especially those bars. But today I was caught between a rock and a hard place and sucked one down fast before I went to a meeting. I don't like them in general but I guess if you are stuck its better than going hungry and lowering your metabolism. I don't know what do you all think??

If you have to and are stuck the shake is better than say going to McD's but I would never drink them regularly.
