Default Does anyone buy Atkins Food on the net?

I am looking to buy some products off the net and was wondering what sites people use (for the cheapest price of course). But I was also wondering if the service was good, and what they thought of their products. I'm mainly looing for bars, shakes, and maybe other goodies

I used to, I had ordered from a link off of this site and everytime they sent me my stuff it was busted opened. The syrup leaked all over the cereals and both times the bake mix was opened and spilled all over.

Your better off not buying them. Just because "Atkins Nutritionals" makes them, doesn't mean they are any more healthy for ya. Stay away from products and you'll have better weight loss, and better control over your eating habits. JMHO

I was more or less thinking the same thing. Since in another post you were asking if it's possible to lose 20 pounds in a month, I'd really suggest that you stay away from low carb sweets and treats (made by Atkins nutritionals or otherwise) or be willing to settle for potentially much slower weight loss.
From what I've read, it seems to be the rare person who can eat a lot of that stuff and lose at anything but a snail's pace.

I've ordered from the Netrition site several times and have never had a problem. Fast service, too.

I order from www.lowcarbfooddepot.com , it's Canadian too, which makes a big difference. If you spend more than $100 you get free shipping, and living in Yellowknife, NT, that's a huge savings!!

I've also ordered from Netrition with good results. I've not ordered from anyone else since I don't really do much in the way of online shopping.

Incidentally, if I WERE going to order anything at this point, it would be Z-Carb bars. Can't find them in my local stores any longer....

I would watch buying anything off of Ebay. I have noticed that most of the sellers sale out of date products. Some of them over a year. I did a search on them one time and that is what I found. I can't believe they allow them to sale them that way. And they do allow it because I reported it and they did nothing.

That's my experience as well. I started to eat Ruessell Stover candies (in the little red packages, 2 to 1 package) and at first it was one pack every other day but b4 I knew I was eating 1 pack 3 times a day (after every meal). So I decided I better stop and I've been "clean" 1 week and it's actually much easier than I thought. If I want dessert or a treat I have to make it myself from whole foods = I know what's in it!

Holy methane, Batman! If I ate that much maltitol in one day, I'd explode like a supervolcano!

netrition.com.... They are very good. I get stuff from them in 5 buisness days (ground). They are in New York and I am in Oregon. They have great coustomer service too! Last winter I ordered some davinci syrups that froze and burst in shipment. UPS sent it back to them and then I promptly recieved a call from netrition. They wanted to let me know that another product I had ordered was no longer in stock and it will be a few weeks befor they get another shipment. I told them to just take the boxes off the stuff that got soaked with davinci's and go ahead and send it back to me. I don't care about the boxes. They credited my account for they syrups and were very pleasent to deal with and I recieved my shipment in another 5 buisness days.

Recently I ordered a bunch of stuff and it ended up weighing 36 some odd lbs. I paid the regular $4.95 for shipping and recieved it on time. (I have ordered form them 10 or so times and they always are on time). $4.95 for a 36 lb package from New york to Oregon in 5 days! WOW. I sit here in my freebee netrition tank top as I write this.
