| Nabiki's Full Review: Atkins Diet Advantage Bar |
My father has been on the Atkins diet practically ever since its birth. I have unfortunately recieved his metabolism, and ended up being motivated to try the Atkins diet. Needless to say, I love this diet. Its quick and easy and it really works!
Unfortunately, I am one of those people who really loves candy, fruit, bread, and all those other things that are strictly forbidden on this diet. In order to try to remedy this, my father and I have tried many different recepies using soya flower, peanut butter, Atkins cookie mix, shake mix, etc, etc. None of these attempts have been anywhere near edible.
Then, while at a nutrition store, my father came across these diet bars, and brought home a few! A miracle! A bar that is actually edible and only around 2.6 grams of carbs for a really hefty sized bar! Pure scientific genuis!
As of late, though, I have realized that these bars have become increasingly harder to stomach, and my father and I have actually found ourselves unable to finish more than a few bites of these bars. Nevertheless, they are great for snacking, and really keep your hunger at a minimum, because they are packed with so many vitamins that it makes the thought of eating anything absolutely sickening!
I have tried all of the flavors, and I will rank them for you here, along with a little comment:
Chocolate Macadamia : This is the first flavor I tried, and it sounded yummy enough. Unfortunately, the chocolate it is dipped in is flavorless and toxic, and the whole bar is absolutely dry and unpleasant-tasting.
Almond Brownie : This is definately a favorite! It is just a plain bar with no chocolate coating. It really tastes like a diet brownie, but of course, don't be expecting a luscious brownie texture.
Chocolate Coconut : THIS IS THE MOST HORRIBLE KIND. Do not eat it. I tried it and it was like eating windex. It is not a good idea.
Peanut Butter: Again, like the almond brownie, this does not have a chocolate coating, so it is quite pleasant to munch on! Quite nutty.
Chocolate Peanut Butter : This is one of the bars that can actually be somewhat stomachable, even with the chocolate coating. It is one of my families favorites!
Chocolate Raspberry: Another favorite with my family. Actually, I do believe this is the best tasting bar from Atkins. An interesting idea...
Praline Crunch: A new flavor, this one is actually quite pleasant! It does not have a coating, and I was able to eat a whole bar! Actually two! It is very good, and tastes a little almondy-sweet.
All in all, I think the Atkins Diet bars are the best things from his diet line! They really are great if you need a meal on the go. All of the vitamins and soy fill you up and make anything else seem unappetizing! So force one down and you'll notice a thinner you :D And then you can eat a reallll chocolate bar! ^_-
