You can't afford to go out and get eggs and bacon yet you can afford at least $1 on an Advantage bar??? You can get 2 dozen eggs and a pack of bacon that will last you a week compared to no more than 5 advantage bars...what an excuse.

The bars are allowed on the new atkins induction offered by the ever money grubbing atkins nutritionals. Just because they say they're allowed does not mean they're ok. 90% of the people on Atkins who have allowed themselves to use the bars will tell you it hampered their weightloss efforts and if you're on your 2nd time or more around I would look at why it didn't work the first time and remember that what did work the first time may not work the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.....

Jessica...You say you aren't doing Atkins so you need to decide for yourself what you're going to allow. The sf candies and bars most definately hamper weightloss. They cause cravings as well as you're getting in many more carbs than what they like to put as "net" on the package.

Remember, the point of induction is to get rid of all the bad cravings. You're cutting your foods down to the bare minimums for two weeks to accomplish this. The best way to get rid of the sweet craving is to starve it, not replace it.
