Atkins food products.

Atkins - Products - New Products

Should I try these? Are they safe to eat, do they cause you to stall?

[Georgiana]

Not all those products you linked to are allowed on Induction.

Many people are stalled by bars, but not everyone.

Why do you want to eat products instead of eating real food?

[Big Baybee]

I don't, just checking it out is all.

[Elizellen]

As Georgiana said, many of those products will not be induction-legal no matter what the labels say.

The Atkins company seems to have forgotten rule 4 of induction when considering their ingredients for induction-suitable foods

Eat absolutely no fruit, bread, pasta, grains, starchy vegetables or dairy products other than cheese, cream or butter.
Foods that combine protein and carbohydrates, such as chickpeas, kidney beans and other legumes, are not permitted at this time

So you need to check just which products will be suitable for your Atkins phase by checking the ingredients list.

Ok. I thought you're looking for convenience, in which case we could have made better suggestions.

By all means, suggest me better products. I've only been on the diet for 2 weeks. I've lost 16 pounds, and I'm just looking to see whats out there.

I can't buy/use hardly ANY low carb type products. I briefly tried low carbing before, years ago, and started buying the bars... they ended up not being meal replacements, but dessert/candy bar replacements. I didn't lose squat once I started eating them. I also couldn't stop WANTING to eat them and would eat too many in a short period of time.

I stay far, far away from the bars, shakes, etc. I would only go purchase them in an emergency, I think, and would probably pick up lunch meat and a hunk of cheese first. I found them really addictive and not helpful in my weight loss at all.

I think most people will tell you here that you don't need any products.

If anything, those types of products are best for maintenance, if you need them at all.

Some says they should be used in "emergencies" instead of skipping meals.

I've yet to find an emergency where I couldn't find a safe alternative to eat, especially once you're in OWL.

For me, "products" are just going back to all the bad habits that got me this way in the first place... sweets, processed foods, and pasta/bread. I'm better doing without until I'm in maintenance and even then, I don't think I'd use any products, especially when there's so many good other foods I can eat!
