I have been eating Atkins protein bars and shakes. They are supposed to be lower in carbs. What is your opinion on Atkins? Thank you

They're crap.

Too many calories, not enough protein. Great if you wanna lose 20 lbs and are a normie. They don't fit in a bariatric plan, at least during weight loss. Hey may fit better in maintenance.

They also taste perfectly vile and are loaded with sugar alcohols. Oddly enough, my husband likes them. (weird guy)

I never even looked at the shakes. But, most protein bars are just a useless "snack". I could find 25 different super protein loaded options to eat versus the carb-laden "protein/Atkin" bars.

I do enjoy a protein bar with a cup of coffee once in awhile. Ok I'm going to try South Beach Protein Bars. Ha!

Quest bars are the best "bars" out there....but I still don't eat them. I might give em a shot in maintenance.

What I really wanted to mention was your above comment....."I like a protein bar with a cup of coffee".

You can't do that with a sleeve. Have you been drinking with eating since sleeved?

The Nugo Smarte Carb Bars are not a bad option - but protein bars in general don't have the best protein per calorie ratio.

I swear by my Quest bars. PB&J flavour. Loads of protein and fiber. I often use as a meal replacement during the day, either breakfast or lunch. Fits well within my daily limits.
