Wafer Bar Atkins Peanut Butter Wafer Bar and DietNot recommended on low carb diets, cookies (like Atkins Peanut Butter Wafer Bar) are typically calorie-dense foods with no dietary fiber and little or no nutrition. Moreover, some cookies are high in refined carb sugars and 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 periodic hyperglycemia, hyperinsulimia, obesity and other symptoms, known collectively as insulin resistance syndrome. Increased risk of diabetes is another possibility. See also Diabesity and Insulin Resistance.
