Thread: Advant EDGE

I am on induction and am looking for a quick "meal" on the go. I love the shakes, but Atkins are really expensive. I saw the brand Advant EDGE and they only have 1 net carb per shake. Are these legal?

Yep. JMHO, but the vanilla ones are not very pleasant; chocolate was much more pleasing to me. Again, just my opinion; I've heard others say the opposite

Glad to see this posted. I have wondered about those for a long time. Sometimes I am on the road with my daughter and need to eat my bf or lunch. I was afraid these were like the other bars with hidden carbs of like 18 that would not be good for me.

Carol,
Sorry I didn't mention this above, but with any convience food, use them on rare occasion. Real food is always the better choice, unless it's not a possibility.

Thanks Shelley Its nice to know that just in case I am out and about I can at least get that to eat. I promise to be smart.

Just wanted to add my .02:

Tried the chocolate shake and really liked it. I think it was the cheapest shake I was able to find at Walmart. Don't remember the exact price, but it was cheaper than Atkins.

Heehee Shelley...I'm one of the "others"...I usually prefer vanilla when it comes to these shakes. And yes, the shakes are as a rule much "safer" than the meal replacement bars when it comes to hidden carbs. I always keep one in the frig for that quick meal or snack on the go.

HTH!
