We also found these at Wallmart and at Fred Myers (a King Soopers, City Market, Kroger store in Alaska). It is slightly more expensive than the South Beach Diet bars. The bars are smaller also (South Beach 2.11 oz each) Atkins Advantage 1.7 oz each. They have slightly less protein 17g verses 19g. But unlike the South Beach bars..it has no sugar alcohols at all (South Beach has 18 g and 1 g sugar) big deal some might say but those sugar alcohols add up. Ask anyone who has taken in too many during a short time what happens! I found this out with sugar free cough drops. The warning on the bag about a possible "laxative effect" is real! they both have very similar fat (South Beach saturated 2.5g total fat 7g) Atkins saturated 2g total fat 8g. I felt safe letting Lilith have a few bites of the Atkins but I would never let her have any of the South Beach due to the sugar alcohols. (What is true in adults is doubly true in babies ask Will what happened after he gave Lilith a few bites of a Pure Protein bar! I personally like the Atkins bars better. They feel like they have more fiber (even though they don't and I enjoy sharing with Lilith. Don't let the size difference fool you, these bars are very filling also!
