Atkins Advantage shakes

[JKurz1]

The shakes are not "ok" for someone trying to cut up....esp. one who trains....they are the lesser of two evils, but I think personally I'd go with the bars, simple because whey protein is in the top 3 ingredients........seriously, see if you can take them back...say u had an allergic reaction.....get a supplement produced by a bodybuilding supp company.........EAS, Twinlab, etc....

Atkins was NOT developed nor meant to appeal to physcial enthusiasts.......it's for seditary, overweight, somewhat lazy people, looking to lose weight ASAP......

Wow that a pretty strong statement. Seems that most diets on this board are related to either low carb or no carb. Atkins was a pioneer with this concept and prove the benefits which we see in today's low carb craze. Most of these diets (i.e south beach, ckd) are derivatives from this concept.

I ocassionally do the diet to loose weight b/c i find it to be less catabolic than a low fat low, cal diet, and very simple to do. I admit not to looking to see where every single gram of fat in a product may come from but then again i am not a professional body builder. But by no means do i consider myself either seditary, overweight, or lazy.

Bars are not, by any stretch of imagination, better than these shakes. No one is suggesting that they are used as part of a daily diet, and for once-in-a-while, stuck-in-a-corner, they are a much better alternative than bars are.
