On the atkins diet, that's a lot of sugar. In addition, that's pure sugar, probably high-fructose corn syrup, and your body doesn't need that. A 40 gram sugar bomb is just going to spike your blood sugar then leave you feeling listless.
I like the atkins brand shakes, but you can also get cheap flavored soy-protein mix in most stores. The best diet shakes for atkins are ones with lots of protein and lots of fiber. It fills you up well without the sugar.
Also, plain water is pretty darned filling too, make sure you get 8 glasses a day and drink a glass 20 minutes before eating a big meal.

Ahh, yes I was talking about the slim-fast (with soy) powder that you buy in bulk to mix with water --->
