Good question. On South Beach we are focusing on eating whole foods with as little additives as possible. Have you ever read the ingredients list on those bars, they are full of unneccessary stuff. I do believe a bar with little or no sugar now and then won't hurt you, and they do come in handy, but if you want to be 100% on board with South Beach, you should avoid them.
A very good substitute is the recipe for Nessa's Oatmeal Breakfast Bars in the Phase 2 recipe section. Here is the link to the recipe -
