On the Atkins Diet and on the go? It's not as hard as it
sounds with this super-nutritious "candy bar-like"
food bar that's 100% compatible with all phases of the Atkins
Diet. This is the richest, most satisfying food bar on the
market, so you should make the Atkins Diet Advantage Bar
part of your healthy diet plan.
Loaded with vitamins, minerals, protein and healthy essential
fats, Atkins Advantage bars replaces many important vitamins
and minerals that are eliminated during exercise - particularly
minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and chromium.
The Atkins Diet Advantage Bar is the result of over two
years of research and development with some of the country's
best food technologists.
First of all, those of you who think the maltitol is a problem need to examine the bar you are reviewed (it's not Atkins, which has 0-1 gram per bar!)
Second, I have a very strong sweet tooth as well as Type 2 Diabetes. You can trust me when I say I miss sugar! I have bought every variety of sugar-free bars on the shelf, and let me tell you, none even compare to Atkins. Some are tasty but wreak havoc on my digestive system (eg South Beach), some just taste like biting into chalk (Protein Power). But Atkins has clearly put the most into their bars. Well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars!

DECADENCE BAR
I just ate a decadence bar, its the first time i tried it, and it tastes good! It tastes just like chocolat moussê.
I cant understand that its only 2g carbs if youre on a "carb-diet" and 18g if youre not.

Confused by mixed reviews
I personally just tried an Atkins Advantage bar right now, the Chocolate Chip Granola, and I can't get past the first bite. I think it has a very odd flavor to it, and the worst after taste also.
I'm just confused since the other reviewers seemed mostly to enjoy these.

Atkins Advantage Peanut Butter Granola Bar
This bar has a nice texture, but gives a nasty aftertaste! Stay away from this product. Please save your money.

Maltitol warning
I recently tried two flavours of these bars and both times, I ended up in bed with overwhelming nausea. I didn't know until I read another review on this site that the culprit is Maltitol. I guess I'm very sensitive to that chemical. If you've already determined your own sensitivity, you should steer clear of Atkins Protien Bars. Too bad, though - they do taste good. Best of luck to everyone on their low-carb quest.

Some Very Good Bars
Atkins Advantage Bars are one of the best Low-Carb bars you will find on the market today. The bars actually taste crunchy and flavorful instead of like a mass of unpalatable paste or so-dry-you-can't-swallow bar. My favorites are: Chocolate Chip Granola, Peanut Butter Granola, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Net carbs equal just 3 grams.
The Atkins Morning Start Breakfast Bars are an excellent choice, also. All of the flavors are very good except for the Creamy Cinnamon Bun--stay away from this flavor (the Atkins people need to reformulate that one). On the other hand, the Blueberry Muffin tastes very much like a real blueberry muffin... very good. The Creamy Strawberry Crisp and Apple Crisp are favorites, also.
The bars are made aspartame-free with sweeteners such as Sucralose/Splenda, glycerine, and maltitol. I haven't found that the amount of maltitol in the bars causes any undue gastrointestinal distress if you are sensitive to this ingredient. Soy crisp nuggets is what gives the bars their crunchiness. Net carbs equal just 2 grams.
All the bars provide a good source of vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber to balance out the carbohydrates and fat.
Give these bars a try, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at their good taste and palatability. The only bad thing about these bars is pacing your consumption of them.

Best-tasting bar around
The Atkins Advantage Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are by far the best-tasting protein bars I've tried. They're also not full of sugar like some other products and lack the odd after taste. They're packed with protein, vitamins, potassium and fiber, so they're very good nutritionally. Unless another low- or no-sugar product comes along that tastes as good, I wouldn't eat anything else.
