GREAT info!! Wish I had read it BEFORE I indulged.  Have hit an emotional rollercoaster the last 2 days, today being the worst. No cigarettes or comfort food to turn to so there was these chocolate decadence Atkins bars, 3 for £1.25. They called my name! "Pam, Pam! Over here. You know you want us!" No, I didn't eat all three. I ate half of one. I'm throwing away the others.

Congrats for not eating all 3! Probably nothing will happen from half, so no need to worry.  If you want to have something tasty, sweet and completely legal, you can soften cream cheese (~50 g) w/ butter (5-10 g) in the microwave, add 1-2 teaspoons of heavy cream and a little splenda... mix together... and voilą!

I made some mini cheesecakes last night with two blocks of cream cheese, two eggs, a splash of vanilla and splenda. Put them in muffin tin and baked at 350 for about a half an hour. Of course, then I ate too many of them. (It was an insane night.  ) |

On the Atkins website it recommends eating a bar or drinking a shake each day in between meals. They also say "Safe for All Phases" on them... Still "illegal?" |

Hmm... what do you the Atkins company cares more about -- your weight loss or their sales?

That might have solved my burning question of why I stopped losing weight on my first week of induction!!! I started last Monday I lost 3 pounds until Friday..but then I have not lost anymore...Could have it been that i was eating from 3-4 Atkins Bars and Shakes??? Also, I noticed that in the book they tell you to calculate NET CARBS by deducting the Total Carb Count from the Fiber Count ...But I have noticed that, lets say the Chocolate Peanut Butter ATkins Bars (that is sooo yummy....), has a total of 22 CARBS, adn 10grams of FIBER, 1 gram sugar..adn tehy tell you it only has 2 NET GRASM OF CARB..??? SHouldnt it have 12????? THANKS MUCH! |

How much do you have to lose? What are your weight and height? While Atkins bars/shakes may (most likely, are) be responsible for the halt, weight loss is not linear (Weight loss is not linear)... not even in induction. As frustrating as it is, sometimes we can do everything perfect and still see no loss the next day.  However, giving up the bars is, in my opinion, a good idea. First of all they are not "legal", and then they do stall many people... so you might be one of them. The apparently (or not) wrong net carb calculation is due to sugar alcohols. Here's a good article about this stuff: Marketing Tricks: Net Carbs, Sugar Alcohols, Tricky Portion Sizes
