Atkins Advantage protein bar= DISASTER!
One of my patients was having surgery today and it ended up going muuuuuch longer than we expected. I hadn't eaten in almost 6 hours, so I grabbed my best option available- an Atkins Advantage bar. I got through half the bar and wholly schmolly- I broke out in a sweat, my stomach felt like it was going to blow, and it took every fiber of my being to make it to the bathroom in time!
The stats were 210 calories, 15 protein, 19 carbs, and 15 sugar alcohols. Thinking it was the sugar alcohol that did me in?!?!
Lesson learned- always carry a "safe and familiar" snack with me wherever I go!

Thanks for posting your experience helps me understand my own. I started working out last week with a trainer. Thursday was a rush to get daughter / home / changed and to gym. I grabbed a Atkins Advantage bar and by the time I got to gym I felt HORRIBLE!!! I was sweating, HOT ( thought I was having a hot flash) and a bit disoriented feeling. Since I am in menopause I wasn't quite sure if it was bar or otherwise. Ur experience confirms it WAS the bar.
I went ahead and worked out w/ trainer (thankfully she let me stop for water periodically) and took it a little easier on me. By the time we finished I was feeling more myself.
