I discovered the new/improved Atkins "Creamy Cinnamon Bun" bar sold at Giant Grocery Store. At the Atkins Center Website these are listed as okay for Induction level, but I wanted to run it by the forum to see if there is any feedback before I make a purchase.

Anybody notice any stalls with this bar? It's called The Morning Start Breakfast Bar and looks good. They are only 2 Net Carbs and made with Sucralose Splenda. (they are only sold in a box, not individually it seems)

(Note: It does contain Glycerin which has been know to cause stalls for some but is supposed to have a minimal impact on blood sugar)

Was wondering if this bar is legal along with the Atkins Advantage during Induction??

Hmmm - interesting that the site said it was ok for induction. It was always my understanding that it is best to stick with "real" food during induction. I guess it's your call.

Good luck!

According to the Atkins website store .... ALL of the breakfast bar products have been discontinued, including the Creamy Cinnamon Bun ones ...

They don't say why .. it could be just a matter of marketing, if the bars didn't sell very well.


I did notice that they provide only 13g protein and 160 calories per bar. That's definitely not sufficient to have as the only thing for breakfast. Maybe as a mid-morning snack after having something more substantial and a little higher FAT to start the day right.

Thnx for your reply Doreen.

Yes, I also noticed the Atkins website said discontinued.
I noticed that the box on the website (which I am familiar w/ from yrs back) and the box I saw today in Giant is totally different which made me think perhaps that type on the website was discont'd bc they came out with an improved version. I do know that Giant did not carry these previously....so I am unsure myself. In comparing ingredients it seems to be the same as Advantage.

However....I do know if I want to continue w/ my good results that I should leave the bars alone & get over the thoughts of a treat.

I saw these at a vitamin store at the mall- I was thinking of getting some because I am having trouble finding something for breakfast In the beginning eggs were fine but now I can't always stomach them. I'm also on induction and may try them out.

Hi YoungDor, thnx for the reply.

I know food results vary per individual, so your body may react differently than mine did, but I thought I'd share my exp of the inability to resist that Creamy Cinn Bun bar......

I was in a stall, and thanks to this forum it was brought to my attn you can not have Atkins Endulge bars during Induction. After cutting these out the very next day I dropped a lb and so on and was no longer in a stall.

My sugar cravings were under control THEN I stumble across these new Cinn Bun bars. I ate ONE bar yday, my carbs were good at 15, and my calories around 1500, ate only Induction foods except for that bar. sure enough, I get on the scale today and no weight loss. I did not gain, but I did not lose and I Know it's due to the bar.

So, for me, I know now I def cannot have bars during induction to continue losing. Like I said, u may have a different result, but I didn't want to lead you astray w/ this bar. So that I would not sabatage my efforts I got rid of the box. No more bars!

Now I did have an Atkins Shake w/ my breakfast this morning and other than that I am resisting all sugar (w/ exception of some splenda here and there), but I am told a shake is legal on Induction (not more than 1 per day). but I am even limiting the shakes b/c I'm determined to kick the sugar habit. I noticed right away w/out sugar my appetite was decreasing.

Size 4 blue jeans, here I come!!

Write me back and let me know how you're doing....

I emailed the atkins people and they said the new morning start bars will be available on line and in the catalog around april 28th. there are many flavors: apple crisp, choc chip crunch, blueberry muffin, strawberry crisp, creamy cinnamon bun, and a double choc one. Price will be 6.99 for a box of 5. I have tried all but the strawberry and double choc one and they all were delicious. I found them at my local GNC for 6.99 to 7.99 per box. I will eat one on the way to work, but then I am looking for something to eat 2 hours later.

Mfo - i don't argue that these bars cause stalls in some people, but just because you didn't lose weight from one day to the next, doesn't necessarily mean that it was the bars. Technically i think that a stall is not losing weight for 4 weeks or more... just so you don't unneccesarily cut out a lot of foods from your diet, because you aren't losing a specific amount of weight every day... good luck!! (i think most of those bars taste like sawdust anyways )

Faeriegirl, You make a good point.
Pinpointing my"bad" foods have really been a challenge for me. It just seems like ea time I start losing again it's when I cut out all the bars, and as soon as I eat one again I don't lose. And you are right; a while back I thought all of those bars were grose too, but today they are doing a great job disguising that sawdust flavor. Some of these are actually so good they taste like the real thing!
