Atkins Shakes

I know you all are into really healthy wholesome foods, rather than
processed or nasty Atkins packaged stuff, but do any of you drink the
Atkins Shakes? And if so, do you have them as snacks or what? Which
flavors are palatable? Do they interfere with weight loss? Info,
please!

Hi!
I use the vanilla shake and bring it with me in a thermos to work (eight hour
shift). I found it not so tasty so I mix some ground cinnamon with it and it
has improved the flavor for me.

I use it as a snack during the day.

Hey Kathy,
I am a chocolate fiend. I drink the "chocolate royale" which, to me, tastes
just like the "Bordens" brand chocolate milk that you get out of the dairy
case. It has a very deep, rich, chocolate taste. Keep them cold in your
fridge. I drink one in the evening on an occasional basis when I get to
missing sweets. It seems to do the trick for me. No side effects in my
case and doesn't effect my OWL.

I drink them every now and then. I like the strawberry and vanilla flavors.
Since they don't have the sugar-alcohol content that the bars do, they
usually don't interfere with weight loss/ketosis like the bars can for some
people.

The only one I haven't tried is the Vanilla. I use them as either a snack
or if my creative juices run dry wrt breakfast or lunch. I think I'll try
Diane's suggestions about the cinnamon and try the vanilla too.

Since I am a on-the-run commuter I often have the shakes for breakfast. I
can normally get through to lunch without anything more but if I get hungry
I get a couple eggs latter in the morning.

Vanilla (1g carbs) or chocolate royale (2g) are my favorites. They are the
only manufactured low-carb food I take in, all the better there are no sugar
alcohols.

The shakes are great for breakfast and they allow me to take my morning
supplements without gastric problems. For starters they contain 850mg
potassium, 20g protein, and 9g fat with only 2g carbs (6-4 fiber).

I've had them a few times, not too often though. I like the chocolate ones.
When I do have them it's to use them as snacks and I don't think they
interfere with my weight loss too much, if at all.

I drink them when I am not hungry but I know I need nutrition. (rarely
hungry on this wol). Sometimes I will have a couple of slices of cheese and
meat along with a shake, I like Chocolate Royale. I also use Keto Shakes, I
love the Banana Creme Pie flavor, 2 scoops, 8 oz water, cup of ice in the
blender a creamy and satisfying banana shake. (The bananas for the kids on
the counter constnatly call my name so this shuts them up!). I am still
losing so do not notice any effect. Oh also the Cafe Latte ones with ice in
the blender satisfy the craving for a specialty granita from a coffee house,
I add some either White Chocolate DaVinci or Kahlua DaVinci syrup for a
kick.
Never more than 1 a day though or I will aviod my veges...bad, bad, bad!

My wife has them weekday mornings, won't accept the strawberry,
prefers the vanilla. An added plus is the potassium: depending on the
flavor, they provide 19-24% of the US RDA for potassium.
