Smile Low Carbing Food in London Ontario

This has been a hard adjustment from pasta, potatos and bread, to meat cheeze and veggies. But the pounds are peeling off so I'm sticking to it.
Here are some of the foods I have found, (some thanks to this forum....) just putting them all in one place to make it easier for the next low carber. Respond with anything I've missed.


-Diet Crush :creamsoda, orange, and rootbear with SPLENDA!! find at a lot of corner variety stores. Only in cans so far.
-Pork Rinds... took me a while to find them, the A&P guy didn't approve I think of a fat guy looking for deep fried pig fat.... oh well found them at my corner store.
-Armstrong naturally aged Chedder cheeze with 0 carbs at walmart!! made by saputo in quebec. Reasonable price for a big block too.
-Jello Light Unfortunatly with asparatame... but 0 carbs for a good desert.
-Haven't looked yet but apparently Gibralter weekend market has Beef Jerky with no suger.... will need to check that out.
-Sugerless Dentyne Coolmint and cinamon gum with splenda from walmart
-Atkins Endulge butter cups at S&H health! damn they're good, for some allowable 'cheating'.
-And once I'm off induction, both walmart and shoppers drugmart have chocolate bars with no suger. Splenda, and maltol sweetened look in vitamin section, and in the diabetic area at walmart.
-Apparently Walmart has the Ketone test strips for about $9 still gotta get some of those. You may need to ask the pharmasist though.

AND WHEN YOU WANT TO EAT OUT
-Swiss Chalet chicken, no carbs, even with the skin
for a side just pick the carrots out (if on induction) of the garden salad and choose the creamy garlic peppercorn ranch dressing. Nutrition guide available if you ask at takeout counter.
-Mongolian Grill. An all you can eat hip restraunt, All the grilled meat and veggies you choose, stir fryed with the oil and spices you pick... and the best part is ALL YOU CAN EAT! just leave the rice and fajita's and eat it from the bowl with chopsticks. I asked for some sort of caffine free diet pop, but not available.... really should phone fax or e-mail a request... maybe some diet crush creamsoda.... because they're almost a perfect low carbers restraunt.

NEED HELP THOUGH
- I don't yet own a bread maker, but may buy one. I really want a low carb bread receipe that will make good, regular size bread. Got the atkins baking mix, but it just didn't rise. So I got very dense bread almost cake like in density... it's just not the same you can't make a sandwich with that.
-Anyone know where to find nitrate free, and suger free bacon in London? Or anywhere in Ontario for that matter?.... may just need to find a butcher in town is my guess.
