Carbs and Fiber in Atkins Breakfast Bar Food Item: Atkins Morning Start
Creamy Cinnamon Bun Breakfast Bar Atkins Breakfast Bar and DietNot generally permitted on low carb diets, energy or breakfast bars (like Atkins Breakfast Bar) are relatively calorie-dense foods with little dietary fiber and a relatively high content of refined sugary carbs. [Note: Some wholegrain cereal bars are more nutritious, with a higher dietary fiber content and less sugar.] But bars that contain a lot of sugar will be high on the Glycemic Index, which means they can cause a rapid rise in blood-glucose levels, leading to excessive insulin production and a sudden drop in blood sugar. The longer-term health effects of eating high-GI foods and consequent unstable blood sugar levels, include obesity and Insulin Resistance. Bottom line: although breakfast/cereal/energy bars are very convenient, and provide a useful energy-burst, if you want to lose weight and stay healthy, keep your intake of foods like Atkins Breakfast Bar, to a sensible level. For more details about carbs in energy bars , see below. Note: Nutritional values in some energy bars and breakfast bars can vary, so the above carbohydrate details for Atkins Breakfast Bar are intended as a guideline only. |
