What happened to Atkins.com?!

Re: What happened to Atkins.com?!

I noticed the same thing when I went to copy the link for another new atkineers. I couldn't believe it! Even with the new Atkins foods they were trying to sell, the site had some great information...they are losing it!

Has anyone emailed to find out what the heck they're doing? I'm going to if I can find a contact us field...

I still don't understand why you guys think the recipes are going to disappear! They have more recipes and they're better organized than they were before. The only thing different I see about them is that they are leaving it up to you to figure out what phase they're appropriate for--that's pretty easy to do all you have to do is look at your allowed foods list--and they still give the carb counts. Frankly, I didn't agree with their Phase on the recipes alot of the time anyway, they would have nuts in a recipe and say it was induction friendly and things like that. You're better off figuring it out on your own than trusting blindly in their judgement anyway.

It's not so much that I think they are going to disappear...but they got rid of the "My Atkins" feature where you could put your favourites into a recipe box.
It's just easier to copy them or print them out and have them handy rather than keep going to the site to search them out.

I love the net, but I'll never get rid of my 3 ring binder that I put printed out recipes in.

And I agree with you..their categorization of recipes with regard to phase (wow, I sound like a professor...lol ) was not the greatest.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying that Moochie. I never saved them in a box and have always printed them out--mainly because I didn't have online access at home - I only save the ones that I try and find to be yummy!

I got an email weeks ago from the Atkins.com website letting me know that the My Atkins was disappearing with the revamp of their site, and that if I wanted to save any of my stuff, that I should do so before the switch.

Didn't anyone else get this email?

I didn't get anything....I just sort of realized one day that I hadn't gotten my Atkins newsletter in ages but that didn't surprise me knowing there was that whole thingy going on with Atkins.

I didnt get anything either. I've been trying for ages to get into MyAtkins with no luck. Thats bad, because all my progress was saved in there, along with pictures and my weight loss acheivement and measurements so far!!

Re: What happened to Atkins.com?!

Really stephbob? I'm so sorry to hear you lost your journal! You'd think they'd at least let you know.

I'm disappointed that so much is gone from there. I can't find the induction shopping list, the before-after pictures...nothing! The place is a sheer marketing campaign for crummy foods now. All the good, free information is gone.

When I decided to start up again. I of course went straight to Atkins.com. I was really disappointed and confused about the change. Doing a "google" search is what lead me to this board. And I'm so glad I found you. So much more information and support here than I could have hoped for.

Welcome to the Board! If you're starting again, you might want to visit the Induction forum and the STAC Forum (Second Time Around Forum).

Re: What happened to Atkins.com?!

There was a notice on it in late October stating that the journals and all that stuff were being discontinued after 1 November. I have read that they are in receivership and so ths is why there is probably only the commercial stuff. It's very disappointing, but hey!, we're not alone, we've got all our buddies here (and darned good ones they are, too).
