Question Metamucil Fiber Wafers...Opinion?

I was just wondering if anyone has tried the Metamucil Fiber Wafers. They come in Apple or Cinnamon. I just tried the apple and they're delicious. Thought I'd give them a shot on some days when I didn't squeeze in enough greens. Anyone have an opinion about them?

I've never seen them. What are the ingredients? I usually just take the capsules.

Check the list of ingredients. If we are talking about the same product, the wafers contain wheat flour, brown sugar, fructose, corn starch, molasses and oats.
Metamucil: Fiber Wafers—Apple or Cinnamon Dietary Fiber Wafers

They are not a substitute for vegetables.

Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Definitely off limits with all that sugar and flour in them--

flax seed meal and/or Metamucil powder (or other psyllium husks) or capsules are your better bet. Those bars are definitely not allowed on Atkins until OWL 9 if then.

Just to update....I REALLY like the taste of these, but won't buy them again. The thing is, they really are not effective as fiber...didn't help at all. I'd say not worth it....sticking with veggies and water!
