Afraid I don't know Kat100. :(

But, I tell you what though..... Hmmm, sounds very appealing. :thumbup:

I'll be looking out for the replies you receive.

Have a pleasant week-end,

willie.

As suggested, they are heavily processed and full of all kinds of stuff that doesn't belong in a chocolate bar. However, that said, they are low carb and I haven't found that they spike me particularly.
I was a chocaholic before I was diagnosed, so I have them if I get a real chocolate craving that won't go away... and to be honest, half a bar is usually enough. I like the chocolate decadence one the best.

I tend to avoid the bars but I have been known to gulp back one of the ready made coffee shakes if I start flagging mid afternoon. - It stops me wanting to murder small children.

The only way you are going to know is by testing before and then +2, everyone is different! I have Atkins bars as an occasional treat, they are lovely but a bit addictive. I bought a box of 18 of the coconut ones on Amazon and ended up having one a day, which is prob not good and I did find my numbers creeping up through the month. Now I have them rarely but they are very satisfying :)

Hi Kat100,

I am on the atkins diet, the atkins bars are low carb and good if you get cravings for sweet stuff. The only thing I would warn about is cause they have artificial sweetner in them that can act as a laxitive, i am sensitive to artificial sweetener so now avoid the bars as i get an upset stomach if I eat them. I might add though they are tasty and I am sad i can't eat them.
