Hi all, I hope everyone is ok 🙂

I just wondered if many of you use any of the Low Carb Atkins products at all?...Some of the products do look nice, like the Crunchy Musili, but they are expensive!

Can anyone give me any reviews or opinions of any of the Atkins bread recipes...like the Atkins Day Break Bread Mix please?

Also, I was looking into Protein shakes and which makes might be nice?...How are these protein shakes used, are they for meal replacment?

Sorry for all the questions!...Thank you for any advice...Ellowyne xXx

Hi

Atkins is very expensive. I trialled the bars for a while but found that they gave me stomach pain.

As for protein shakes I was recommended whey protein isolate and it's the lowest carb one I could see on the market and tastes good too. You can get it from myprotein.com

Ive looked at them, but cant afford to pay that much for a snack!!

Ive recently been starting to use almond flour to make brownies, cookies etc, and theres some real good ones!! I made some brownies last ngiht, they smelt amazing, and in a 12" x 8" tray there wasa total of about 25 carbs, so I could eat them pretty freely, hwoever... the fat goes up a lot!
 
Thank you for your messages 🙂 I appretiate your help.
 
A cheaper alternative in terms of cereal, nowhere near carb free but much lower in carbs and much lower GI than normal cereals is Lizi's Granola, which is sold in Tesco. Might be worth a try.
