Atkins shakes

has anyone tried Atkins shakes to jumpstart weight loss? I really never used protein shakes before.

I tried Atkins shakes but I didn't like them as well as Premier shakes...I drink 2 a day  = 60 grams protein   

good luck  :)

I absolutely agree about Premier. I cannot stand the vanilla flavor (though I am drinking my supply until it is gone) but the chocolate is good and it is packed with protein.

The only atkins flavor that I like is the Coffee Caramel but I am staying away from it because of the coffee/caffeine.

Do you use them as meal replacements or snacks ?

My dietician said absolutely no to Adkins shakes post-op. Not enough protein and too much fat. They do taste good though. 

I use the premier protein shakes. So far the chocolate and the strawberry N Cream. I have not tried the vanilla ones yet. You can't beat them. 30 grams of protein and low sugar...160 calories. I have to drink them in 2 sittings. They are 11 oz each. Right now 1 is to much per meal for me.

I tried Atkins' shakes but didn't care for them.  I ate their bars occasionally but all their products now contain soy or will and I'm allergic to soy.  I get a rash on my face when I eat soy.  I contacted Atkins and they told me many of their products have soy and they are in the process of adding it to all of them.  Their products do have more fat that I like.

My surgeon told me to have 2 shakes a day for the rest of my life.

Premier Protein shakes!  (Chocolate tastes best) 30g protein,low sugar and only 160 calories!

Atkins shakes only have 15 grams of protein. I like the Premier shakes also, strawberry flavor for me. 30 grams at time is much more worth it to me. I try not to drink any shakes with less than 20 grams of protein in them. 

For most of 6 years I have had an Atkins shake for breakfast. Early on I mixed my shakes from protein powder but the "grab and go" and relatively low cost of Atkins shakes made it the best option for me.

That said...

The only flavor I like is the Mocha Latte. Gets boring.

15 gm protein isn't the highest number you'll see - but of course I eat other foods now and easily hit my protein goal daily.

The list of ingredients is ridiculous. The whole Atkins theory - that an apple will be your downfall, but we'll sell you products that are full of chemicals - bugs me. I prefer a "cleaner" diet these days.
