I am also from Hamilton, been on Atkins since Oct and have lost 24 Lbs. I exercise regularly so, I have built muscle. I am a chef so can create tasty LC meals without having to buy all that LC, costly junk out there.
Also Canada has a treasure the States don't have... hemp flour. The stuff is great, LC and high in nutrients and fiber.
I would love to join your buddy club. I just haven't seen any new post regarding it
