Atkins products now available in Malaysia
 

This post is for all Atkins/low carbers in Malaysia, just want to inform everyone that a limited range of Atkins products are now available at all GNC stores. I've tried the Endulge bars and they're quite good.

Makeisha

surprise..surprise....which branch great eastern, times square...star hill?

hi makeisha
do u recall the prices for the bars & other items (eg bake mix)? thanks!

Splenda
 

Just wondering... I'm not sure if we can get Splenda in Malaysia, so anyone interested if we order by bulge through Atkins.com? Most cost comes from the shipping so if we buy in bulge we could split the shipping cost..

I'm checkin out GNC times sq soon so i'll try to post the prices here! :wave:

Low Carb in GNC Malaysia
 

I just came back from GNC times sq, and heck - talk about limited!

But they do have quite a fair range of low-carb bars. Atkins Advantage Bars & Endulge r two of them. There's this offer, if u buy 3 of the same range u'd get 10% off n 6, 20%.

They don't have splenda, no bake mix either. There's Atkins Advantage Shake Mix for rm115. that's abt all. each low-carb bar sells at around rm8.90 - rm14.50.

i hope to find more atkins devout in kl tho... oh yeah, the salesperson in gnc also told me that they have 'sugar-substitutes' in gnc singapore. i hope it's splenda! i'll get my friend to check them out.

shucks, i hope i'm not the only one talkin in here - n that i'm not posting this for myself to read!

take care & god bless, :D :D :D

hi sabrina re:splenda none here so far but you can use local manufactured sucralose under the brand "ever sweett" available from guardian or vitacare about 9.90 per box. its rather hard cuz only available in sachet and not granular or whatever so it makes it hard when we wanna bake etc but im thankful enough to be able to buy them locally and i use them all the time for whatever i eat eventho its the baking thing so i usually stock lotssss of them. i called the company they said none granular available yet.

sabrina if you speak malay theres low carb message board run by local girls! have couple of members in there definitely help ya where to get stuff in KL. most of them are on fat flush or south beach tho and couple of them on atkins but hay we all have one goal here! :D

cheers hay stop by at my journal sometimes okay :D

kewl! thanks for lettin me know - I've almost been goin 'sweet-less' for one whole week since i'd started atkins! :lol:

btw i'm interested in that msg board u mentioned.. where is it? its great to find local peers for support! :agree:

so long for now, hope to hear frm u soon! :D :D

alamak i went to check the board and it seemed down! what a shame...because theres lot of good info in there. re: sweetener if you dont like that mock splenda i suggested....you can use stevia i think its available somewhere in one utama

Whoa... 1 utama's huge! mind specify? :)

btw i've yet to find ever-sweett.. the guardian near my house only has equal & pal-sweet. which guardian did u find them?

thx!

i forgot the name of the shop lah, one girl from the board suggested it i never bought it tho. re ever swett try guardian klcc or bb plaza

yup i found it thx ;)

amacam diet sabrina..ok? :D

haha, mcm tu lah..

i jz practice low-carbing w/o the counting carbs all those stuff, simply cut out completely rice, bread, junk food etc (tho i do cheat once in a while for a nice choc! :D )

hows u ?

hi, i'm new here....who else in LC program?

i cycle carb but mostly i love being on the low carb cycle altho try to keep the lower fat sort of

welcome tracy!

hi dazzlin182

its nice to find some1 from the same town. nid to find out some answers from you.....what sort of fruits should i take? i mean while i'm on low carb? any ideas what sort of food should i take?

from what i read here most people eat berry kinda fruits but here berries mahal!!!! i checked at isetan etc almost 25.00!!! i think at strict phases you just limit fruits intake for 1-2 weeks i suppose, but if you could afford it why not kan....i mean i dont mind strawberries but not payin more than 20 bucks for little gram of blueberries...at least thats my opinion. i happened not having to lose much so my sort of lc style eating is somewhat....hmm not so strict..but i dont usually eat anything like too much sugar fruits tho (e.g. watermelon, banana pun kurang...even rambutan i think twice haha!). again, it really depends.

Stevia is now officially in the market - I got it at Guardian - 50 sachets at $10. Finally!!! Now can extend the menu a little bit more.

I think buying the Advantage Bars is a total waste of money. Can buy it to try once or twice but to keep stock .... that's a bomb of $$$$ even with their discounts. Plus it seems they do cause stalls so ..... well, for me it doesn't look as if its worth it ... anyways, me always pokai one lah ....

Can also get Eversweet..also does not contain aspartame.....I'm kind of maintaining my weight now but then just now I went out of control..I took tandoori chicken, tomyam seafood and even a puff....mati...I never been like this for the past 3 mths, like just came out of pudu jail and that was 11pm...sure die...

Do you guys realised that sometimes we can be heavier by 1.5kg???? Usually at nite..anyone can explain, so which is more accurate?

What does EverSweet contain ahh?? I know this brand but forgot the ingredient. I have always prefer Stevia cos it is from a natural form not synthetic or artifical. Plus Stevia does not have an effect on your blood glucose or it is more stable on the glucose or something like that lah ....

You know, I used to binge like hell too ... especially during the nite teh tarik time ..... don't feel guilty lah, just be more focus tomorrow.. and errrr, was it a curry puff or a fag puff???

Yeah, we are normally heavier at night cos of all the food and drinks intake ..... usually people like to count their morning measurement as accurate - after pee-pee and poo-poo and on empty stomach.... me, I like to consider my nite weight as accurate cos that is when I am the heaviest and the clothes starting feel smuggie ... :)

P/s: I like the Pudu Jail feeling too ... gets me high!! :) but big pay back later.

everswett is like splenda - it is sucralose. i pakai tu je but the worst is that they dont have in granular or anything (for baking) so its like you have to buy lot of boxes lol. i even called the company asked them whether they got any other form they said no and i told them why not......this is very popular sweetener to diabetic n low carbers and i suggested to the lady there they could make more money just making them in granular or in bigger packet......

re: binge alamak no problem. im also the same now im kinda off it but usually i dont really feel guilty i just flush all the carb next day by not eating any for some time :nono: but i cannot like not eating nasi lemak, tandoori, roti garlic sumer....haha truly malaysian kan anyway.....the key is always know your limit then get back on track.

hey anyway amistad - woah i tak tau pun kat guardian ada steviaa thanks for the tips definitely would go check it out.

at nite, all the "fat of the day" etc gets accumulated haha thats why heavier.....just jokin

Hey dazz ooi, the stevia is called Stevico. If you can get last month's Ezyhealth, there is an article on it. But then you can get tons on the net too.
Yeah, it is tough we don't have granules and low carb cereal, etc. Even Stevia I have been asking for the last 3 years! Always had to tumpang my friends when they go to Australia and it cost a bomb cos of the rate of exchange!

I miss cereals the most - oats, nestum, spirulina, corn flakes, squares, muesli ...oh my God!!! But when i get to my goal weigh, I will have them like once a week and then I will starve for two days to kill all the high carb!

Do you guys exercise? And what do you do for low-carb food?? Keen to know ...

thank you! never knew that!

omg lawak...lawak....but now stevia n mock splenda is here so need not worry. i just ordered splenda and couple of other lc junks LOL from my friend who flew here tomorrow. i told my cousin n the whole family there next time when she comes back home, puhlease bring the whole plane full of atkins products LOL...altho i dont think i really want them..

but one thing, these products are super useful when you're way too lazy to even lift your finger......im so pemalas i tell ya when my lazy hits then my eating gets worst!


that sounds like a plan. u'd make it! i usually flushed around 4-5 days no carb (starchy,wheat) then added some back.

i did bfl before. finished one challange. almost got there with a flatter tummy lol but doh...fell off the wagon and gets bloated again...

oh well...now counting days to start over...new year maybe? lol

Have you tried out any baking yet? I have a target to weigh 63kgs on Monday (!).... I am still at 65kgs today. So, soon as I get to 63kgs (looks like its not gonna be Monday!) thot I try out some simple low carb stuff with pumpkin. If you got any good receipe, let me know ok.

If you got a range of low-carb stuff to distribute (sell) let me know, especially cereals ... ahhh but then again, the prices will kill ... sorrylah, me doing me full time study and not working for the past three years :( so have to be abit conscience.... no rich parents ... what to do ....

i also miskin diet nie took lot of guts and $$$.....usually i use pumpkin to make pumpkin snack tu or kadang2 guna almond meal untuk baking (choc cake for example) i found almond meal 500g about 7.00 kat giant. theres no lc products here so tak tahu gak mana nak beli...so far i notice kat netrition.com but shipping cost?

Oh, I will not fork out for shipping costs, etc .... it might be most expensive than the product itself AND the product might get confiscated!! that is one thing we should also consider.

Where to get the receipe for the chocolate cake you bake? I also get almondmeal for that $ but normally buy all my baking stuff at the Taman Tun market - there is a shop that sells all baking stuff and very fresh too.

i've been taking replacement meals with my low carb diet..try not to touch rice and noodle, really crave for it tho....like morning i either have skimmed milk with replacement meal or butter/low fat cheese with multigrain bread (2 slices) then noon also same either one, then lots of fruits if hungry..then usually by nite time, i go amok, lose control and eat a lot but usually try to cut down or go low carb lar...off and on also curi makan.........then regret later....

drank alcohol on friday..worst!
