Do these bars take you out of ketosis?

They arent good for you, they wont knock you out but you will lose slower. I use them only when i am desperate. I never ever keep them in the house and have to travel 9km to get them when i do want one. Usually i dont bother then

i keep one in my handbag,it's a peanut one,just incase.
i have the coconut ones in my bedroom,along with peanut ones
and sometimes i have the cake bar ones,they travel through
the system rather rapidly,so beware !
I don't dare have one, besides being expensive, they may set off a carb craving.

Onwards and Downwards. Hope over experience.
General feedback seems to be if you have the bars regularly say 3+ times a week then they will stall you. Obviously people more or less sensitive

I had one today in a desperate situation (on the bus!!), are they supposed to be a meal replacement bar or just a snack?
no not meal replacement x

Lolllll
Be careful of the Cappucinno Nut bars, maybe it's just the bar I had yesterday (or my whole box) but honestly some of the nuts were so rock hard I was scared of breaking a tooth, so I spat them out (discreetly of course) into a tissue.
The Atkins bars with Advantage on them are meant as a meal replacement x

What about the shakes? Does anyone have problems with them?
The shakes seem to be better than bars but no real evidence - the safe way is to avoid all "frakenfood"!
