Where do canadians...

[jaybee007]

..get their low carb food? I used to be able to get the muffin mix, the pancake mix locally..etc..but now I can't Does anyone know of a good canadian website that offers these products?

[determined2shrink]

I think netrition.com ships there. I am not completely sure so you would have to check.

www.lowcarbgrocery.com

They ship all over Canada and have a store in Markham, Ontario so you can save on the shipping costs if you're anywhere near there.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!~
Do you have any suggestions as to what products taste the best?

Hi,

I used to order a lot from the Low Carb Grocery but stopped a few months ago. You are better off focusing on real food - meat, veggies, cheese, cream, butter, etc.

If you want to go ahead and try some of the products, you may want to look at the Davinci syrups to use in coffee or some sauces to occasionally use with meat. Most of the other foods are what I call "Frankenfood" and are full or preservatives and funky ingredients. Many people find that their weight loss slows or stops altogether when using these products. Poke around the website and try a couple of things. Be careful with the sweets, most have generous amounts of sugar alcohol which causes cramps and the runs in most people.

My vote is for the real foods. And just to point out if you are in induction none of those things are legal. That being said for later on...you may want to check out a health food store...you may be pleasantly surprised. Just my 2 Canadian cents....LOL!

Great tips, thanks
What do you buy in the health food stores? Ingredients? After my induction I would like to purchase or even make low carb bread and not so much focus on the treats. Perhaps the health food stores will come in handy then

Thanks for your input Val, I appreciate it
Do you make traditional Canadian meals? I live in QC, so the traditional poutine is a big no-no...lol

Ahhhh poutine. I used to treat myself to one now and then, I'll have to see if I can come up with a suitable "faux" version one of these days.

[Tuliedave]

Had to Google that treat! At first I thought ya'll were a little over the top with poutine until I realized here in New Mexico we make something called chile cheese fries with melted cheese, hot green chile and fresh hot fries! Both treats are for sure a Atkins "no no" to say the least!
