Atkins Advantage and other low-carb bars

[sylvar]

I've been using Pria CarbSelect bars recently -- they're tasty, high in protein, and I found a great deal on them at Costco. Now BzzAgent is going to be sending me some Atkins Advantage bars so I can try 'em out. I wonder if I'll be addicted to Pria by that time.

I have a hard time believing that something called "Chocolate Decadence" or "Creamy Cinnamon Bun" can be good for you, but I'm willing to give it a try. I expect to have extras, so if anyone else wants to try one, let me know.

Yeah, I remember a bakery getting in trouble for 100-calorie muffins that tasted amazingly like their 700-calorie muffins. ;)

I tend to think that a major brand like Atkins, with more to lose from fraud allegations, would keep things on the up and up... what do you think?

I think people should just eat better and not eat Atkins, but that probably doesn't answer yer question :)

If you are counting carbs/calories/fat/etc, make sure you read the label and note what yer intake is in a journal. That's the only real way to make sure you get what yer supposed to be getting.

And, if it doesn't work, talk to a nuutritionist/doctor/etc :)
