A Low Carbohydrate Snack – Atkins Breakfast Bars

A summary of an article published in Vitamin Retailer

This product report recognizes the fact that Dr. Robert C. Atkins, M.D., is without doubt the pioneer of the controlled carb lifestyle boom, including the development of an array of healthy and tasty products to keep followers happy, satisfied and most of all, healthy. Observes Richard Hirsch, vice president of sales and marketing for Atkins Nutritionals, New York, "All low-carb food categories and brands have experienced significant growth during the past few years, as interest in low carb, fueled mainly by the success of Atkins, has created a sizeable and active consumer base."

New from Atkins Nutritionals is an enhanced breakfast bar, available in three flavors. Each bar contains 14 grams of protein, non-hydrogenated fat, natural ingredients such as fruit and nuts and fortification with more than 20 vitamins and minerals. Hirsch also notes the increasing number of people opting for nutritional shakes, adding that mainstream products don't offer many nutritional benefits. On the other hand, AtkinsTM Ready-to-Drink Shakes, available in three flavors, offer more than 20 essential vitamins and minerals, 20 grams of protein and only two grams of sugar per 11-ounce serving.
