Atkins ENDULGE question...
 

My guess would be the ingredients. The Endulge bars probably have things (like nuts) in them that we don't eat until OWL. I'm not sure it makes any difference, though... these aren't health food or even real food. It's kinda like eating a sugar free candy bar and taking a multi-vitamin at the same time...

It's M(very)HO that the Atkins products are a revenue source that have nothing to do with losing weight and getting healthy (the diet). People want "easy", so they buy this stuff. Atkins Nutritionals want $, so they sell this stuff.

The advantage bars DO have sugar alcohol... it's the glycerin. Atkins just doesn't count them as SA for some reason, probably because it's not a polyol.

Here's a calculator for deterimining the sugar alcohol content in a bar:
