Great Tasting Low-Carb Snack With No Sugar Alcohol!, October 1, 2004
Since switching to a low-carb diet, one of the challenges that I encountered (as I am sure many others have also experienced) is finding good-tasting low-carb snacks that aren't sweetened with sugar alcohols (maltitol, sorbitol, mannitol, isomalt, etc.). Sugar alcohols do have carbs (about 1/2 to 3/4 the calories of processed sugar), but are absorbed by the body more slowly and incompletely. As a result (unless you are fortunate to have a very tolerant metabolism), they can generate a lot of unpleasant side effects including bloating, gas and diarrhea. Some food manufacturers even omit them from the total carb count on product nutrient labels. Consequently, I altogether avoid products that contain sugar alcohols.
What initially attracted to the Atkins Advantage bars is that they are sweetened with sucralose instead of sugar alcohols and they taste rather good. I have not yet had an opportunity to taste all of the varieties, but the chocolate peanut butter bar is my personal favorite. (Each chocolate peanut butter bar has a thin layer of chocolate surrounding a peanut butter flavored center.) At only 2 net carbs per bar, they are an extremely healthy snack that won't adversely affect the low-carb lifestyle. The bars taste great and one bar will satisfy my hunger for a few hours. The bars are not overly sweet (they may not be sweet enough for some), but eating them causes no adverse side effects like foods containing sugar alcohols.
If you buy the Atkins Advantage bars individually, they can be rather pricey, so the best way to buy them is in bulk. Overall, for great taste, no sugar alcohols and helping me lose the unwanted pounds, I rate the Atkins Advantage bars with 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend them to anyone who is on a low-carb diet.

Decent, healthy, but a bit dry and chewy, February 16, 2004
The Pros: This bar has a healthy amount of fiber and vitamins, and truly is low in carbs. It is readily available in discount-sized boxes at Amazon, as well as in discount department stores and warehouse clubs.The Cons: Unlike it's much prettier and tastier cousin, the chocolate peanut butter bar, the chocolate fudge bar is dry and chewy. It goes down all right with coffee, but has that "stick to your ribs" texture to it. Bottom-line: I buy this one from time to time because Atkins seems to make them available to the warehouse clubs much more often that the better tasting alternatives. If you have a choice, go for the Peanut Butter & Chocolate, or the S'mores.

My favorite "traditional" low carb bar, September 9, 2004
This bar, as you can see from other reviews, is not for everyone. After having tried a ton of bars (all different brands), I keep coming back to this one. It is quite filling, with a dense peanut-butter-like filling. The outside is a thin layer of low carb chocolate. Depending on the freshness of the bars, the inside may be a bit dry (so, it is good with a cup of green tea).
It is not super sweet like some of the other bars, so if you're just starting Atkins, you may not appreciate it.
For a quick snack/meal on the go, this is probably the best you can get on Atkins (aside from whole foods).

These bars taste really bad compared to Walker Diet bars, April 4, 2004

I was very unhappy with the taste of these bars. Walkerdiet.com has low carb bars that taste far superior and have a better nutritional profile. Futher, the Atkins bars have hydrolyzed collagen, basically ground up dead animal parts in them.

Atkins Advantage Bars, March 30, 2004
I've tried them all and this one is the best tasting. Real food is best on Atkins, but we don't always have time for it. This is a delicious substitute.

Great nutrition bar for low-carb dieters...pricey though, February 16, 2004
The Atkin's Chocolate Peanut Butter bar is my favorite low-carb snack. It is big, sweet, goes great with coffee (decaf for you purists out there), and carries the typical nutritional advantages of a meal replacement bar.Unlike many other low-carb bars, this one is moist, though not gewy, sweet (but not sickly so, like so many low-fat high sugar bars), and filling.The one factor that brings this bar down is price. I can almost never find it at Walmart or Sam's Club in the economy-size boxes. Instead they are individually wrapped at about $2 each. In light of this, Amazon's deal is pretty good!Bottom-line: This is the ideal low-carb snack/meal replacement bar. However, when you see it sold in 15-count or 5-count boxes, by as many as you can!
