Does anyone know about Atkins Shakes?

I am seriously stalled out and after the holidays I want to go on a liquid diet for a week or two to see if I can budge WL along.  I live in the boonies and don't have a store to look at the stats for Atkins.  If anyone has used or has knowlege, what are the proteins, fats, and calories??  Thanks Diane  

Hi Diane,
I'm at work, so I don't have one in front of me, but I drink Atkin's protein shakes every once in a while; about 1-2X per week.  I know that they have 160 calories and 16 grams of protein, but I'm not sure about the fat content.  My nutritionist had recommended them as a "quick fix" for a protein shake that has a low glycemic index.  I preferred them before they "improved" the container and the flavors, I must say.  I drink the chocolate and it tastes the best to me, even though I am not a "chocolate person," so to speak.  Most mornings, I eat oatmeal, but on days that I am rushed, I grab an Atkin's shake and am full for hours.

Hope that helps!

One of the diet programs I tried over the years (several times in fact) was the metabolic weight loss program. They sell the profast protein shakes online. Here is the website.

They have shakes, hot chocolate, soups, oatmeal and more and you can order them all over the net.  They are really good..well I don't like the oatmeal but never have been a hot cereal person.

The shakes have 100 calories and 15 grams of protein. The hot chocolate has 80 calories and 15 grams of protein.

I also am using Unjury protrein and they have chicken flavored, chocolate, vanilla and unflavored..but while there are more calories 180 per scoop, the protein is 20 grams. You can order this online too. I did.

I hope this helps,

Good morning!  I am not a protein shake person, but I do know that a SSF Kaiser they are on the list of "no's.  I believe it is due to the high carb value.  Good luck on your liquid diet!

I drink the Atkins Advantage Mocha Latte Shakes - In fact, I am drinking one right now!  On the back of the container it says:  It has 160 calories, 9 grams total fat, 1 gram saturated fat, 5 mg cholesterol, 200 mg sodium, 460 mg potassium, 5 total carbs, 3 grams dietary fiber, 1 gram sugar, and 15 grams protein.  They are 11 FL oz.  I like the Mocha Latte flavor the best because they aren't super sweet & they help me with my coffee fix.  I buy mine at the local Target, but I can't always find them at all Targets.

Sincerely,

Atkins shakes in general have 15 grams of protein, 2 grams of net carbs, 5 grams total carbs and 9 grams of fat. I don't remember off the top of my head the calorie count but it is comparable to other protein shakes. I enjoy them..they really do keep me full for three to four hours.

I really enjoyed the Atkins Advantage protein shakes when I had to do my 10 day pre-op liquid diet. I liked the Strawberry and Vanilla flavors the best. My liquid diet consisted of 4 shakes a day and as much clear liquids as I wanted (chicken, beef, veggie broth, SF Jell-O, Flavored waters, clear SF juices). If I wanted to, I could drink only 3 shakes and then have a vegetable meal at night. Steamed veggies with no meat or dressing of any kind added to it. I lost a total of 29 lbs. in those 10 days before my surgery.

My doc reccommends the Atkins shakes and only the Atkins shakes....he says the others all have too much sugar...
