Have y'all tried the Atkins frozen foods they are really good... High in protein and fat ... Should a banded person eat them or not?? I was just wondering .....

I've never seen them and I'm nearly an expert on the Atkins diet. Well, expert on the original one where you can eat a slab of bacon for Breakfast and a 24 oz porterhouse for dinner(no I never did indulge in that).

It depends? Are the foods processed? The idea behind the band is for solid food to be chewed and swallowed so that as it goes through your pouch it stimulates the vagus nerve to enable you to feel satisfied sooner. Processed foods usually are slider foods. Like lean cuisine or smart ones. Low in calories, high in sodium but they slide right through your pouch and usually won't satisfy your hunger for long?

If you are able to eat these atkins pre-packaged foods and feel satisfied you can lose weight. I'd recommend you only eat them when you're in a hurry or for lunch at work and only if you can't prepare nutritous foods in advance. jmo

I try not to eat packaged foods. I cook on the weekend a prepare my meals for the week in "band-size" portions... but I agree if you are in a hurry you can use them but not every day.
