i just live 15 minutes from toronto, so i'd like to know too. i don't think we'll have much luck.
i work for dominion. i sent a letter to head office suggesting we sell low carb products. they sent a letter back to me saying that they realize locarb is becoming popular it hasn't reached critical mass yet. when it does then we'll jump on the band wagon. i guess us canadian lcer's have to make a lot more noise!

Hmmm...I guess we need to create critical mass awareness! I'll send them an email now!
I just got home from Loblaws and they carry a high protein low carb powder for shakes. (Orange flavour)
I am still pretty new at this and still trying to remember the brand names to look for!
But I did find that Ruffles Chips makes a dip that is less than 2 grams of Carb per serving and stocked up on some cream cheese. I make little portable snacks out of thinly sliced ham, chopped celery, or green pepper, and cream cheese...quite tasty!

Thank you!
I did a low carb diet...18 years ago (I can't believe it was that long!) when I was 17 and diagnosed with hypoglycemia. My weight melted off, which at the time was an added bonus!
My weight has crept up and it's time to address it...I only have about 20lbs to lose, and I think that this is the easiest, most effective way...for ME...

breakfast and snacks are my hurdle...I get fed up with eggs...

I am glad to be here and meet everyone! I am on day 2 and in the 'pink' with my ketostix....

I want to look great for a trip to Florida in a month!
(Am I TOO optimistic?)

Thanks for the kind welcome....
