Carb Countdown Lowfat Yogurt Smoothie
Has anyone tried the "Atkins Approved" Carb Countdown Lowfat Yogurt
Smoothie made by Hood? Are they OK for Induction? Most of the Atkins approved things say on them that they are not appropriate for the Induction Phase. These smoothies dont say that. It lists 3g of Net Carbs. I am on Day 8 of induction and I have been sticking to real foods (meat, cheese, salad etc). I dont want to blow my progress by drinking one of these but they sure so look appealing. |

I've tried 2 flavors...peach and strawberry banana. Very good, altho' a bit sweet. Very, very pricey, however. I make my own now. Personally, I'd wait 'til after induction but if your will power won't allow that, make sure to figure those carbs into your daily allotment. Aloha...Sue I agree with Sue, having one occasionally on induction is probably OK. They aren't loaded with sugar alcohols or anything else that is suspect. Like Sue said, they are very expensive though, $2 for a small serving. If they priced them more reasonably, I'd buy them regularly as they are very good. |

Thanks Sue. I only have 5 more days on Induction then I think I might
sample the Smoothies. This is my second time around on Atkins. 7 or 8 years ago I lost 60 pounds and maintained it for two years but alas, I fell back into my wicked ways and eventually gained it all back again. Things have surely changed. The first time there were no low carb products out there. That is why I am leary of all the junk they have out now. When the carb count starts at 34 and through the magic of fuzzy math they whittle it down to 3 net carbs I am suspicious. Sue Larkin wrote in message ...

All of the Hood products I've tried, milk, chocolate milk and yogart all have a funky, mushroomy, earthy after taste. I'd rather obstain. Laura |
