Anyone in the K/W, Cambridge area of Ontario?

I'm in Simcoe, which is about half an hour from Brantford!

Hello Ghost & KrazyKelly
I'm new to this site. Glad to see some other Cannucks, and esp from near me - Listowel (nw of Kitchener). Do you have any idea how many carbs there are in soy flour? I've made terrific Orange-Cranberry mini muffins, but can't calculate the carbs b/c of the soy flour.

hey there Listowel - I grew up in Huron County, near Clinton but now live out west....saw your note.

Have you tried Fit Day? www.fitday.com

They do have a listing for soy flour.....

Yes from Cambridge! Glad to have a fellow local(er) to talk too!

Hi Listowel04, krazykelly, tlmarshall & newgirl35

Nice to know there are some fellow LCers in the area.

Listowel04 there are about about 30 g carbs & 8 g fibre in a cup of full fat soy flour. It would depend on the brand though. The muffins sound really good, can you post the recipe? Please.

Listowel04, I grew up in Hanover. I'm sure you know where that is. I go up your way alot to relatives. Spend alot of time near Fordwich in the summer.

I guess we are in for more snow today! I can't wait till summer! Bring me the sun and warmth! LOL

How is everyone doing today? Are you drinking your water? Have you got your exercise in for the day yet?

I just got back from the gym and I'm getting ready to hit the shower and get ready and run some errands. In this crappy weather I might add! LOL

Just checking in to see how the local low carbers were doing!

I'll check back later. Have a great day!

Hi krazykelly,

Isn't this awfull weather? I can't wait for summer either. This will be the first one in years that I'm actually going to wear a bathing suit!

DH bought me a Weider home gym for xmas so I'm just going for a workout now.

Drive carefull those roads are awfully icy.

Talk to you later.

Hi everyone,
I'm in Stratford. Glad to know there are other LCers not too far away.
We should share places to buy LC products. The Zehrs in Stratford has Oscars SF syrups--vanilla, B52, carmel, amaretto, Bavarian chocolate, Irish cream and hazelnut. Sweetened with Splenda. They are in 750 ml bottles. Now $9.99. Up until recently they were $7.69 which I thought was a very good deal as a bottle lasts a long time.
While waiting for a prescription on Mon. I noticed that they had a small diabetic display right near where you pick up the prescriptions. They have the small bottles of SF vanilla and carmel. Also something I hadn't seen before. I believe the name was Sobee's or something like that (didn't have my glasses on!). They had chocolate syrup and pancake syrup. Both Splenda sweetened and the prices weren't too bad. Better than I saw for Keto pancake syrup. I haven't tried them so I don't know how they are. But I have used all the Oscar's syrups and use them to flavour and sweeten my homemade yogourt.
Also in Stratford (and London) is Country Bulk which carries most of the baking products needed. Ground almonds, filberts and pecans, soy flour, etc.
Hope this is helpful to someone. On another board I'm on there are a bunch of people from various localities that come to Zehrs here just to get the SF syrups. If the store only realized the potential they have for new business.

I just joined this week

Hello, all:

I live in Kitchener, and I feel like I've struck gold this morning. I haven't been on this forum for a few weeks, since I've been mostly out of town helping out with a new grandbaby. Anyway, while I was in the US I bought three bottles of the Atkins syrups - chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, and they are terrific. I was just starting to get worried about how I was going to replace them, since I probably won't be in the US for a few weeks, and the contents of these bottles are going down at a goodly rate. So.....as I say, I feel like I've struck gold this morning, finding out that Zehrs in the Laurentian Centre carries SF syrups. I'll make a trip over there and stock up.

Thanks for the info, CompasRose

Update on sf syrups at the Laurentian Zehr's. I checked in there and they had a good variety of the large bottles. Bought some Raspberry and Hazelnut. I was looking for chocolate, but was told by the coffee bar attendant that they were not really authorized to sell the Oscar's syrups, even though they were still selling them and ordering them. However, they have been limited to what they can order and will not be getting any other flavours. Fortunately, I was in Indiana again this week (have a new granddaughter there), so was able to stock up on some of the Atkins syrups. The chocolate syrup obviously is very popular, since there was only one bottle on the shelf, which I snapped up.

Does it sound like I'm obsessed with these syrups? I don't think I really am. I just like to have things on hand when I want them, and compared to the US, Canadian stores are very limited to the variety of low carb products we can get.

Sunny day in Kitchener today. Take care everyone and have a good one!

Hi folks,

I'm in Kitchener as well. I was in the states and remember the Atkins bars when the were smaller and tasted MUCH better.

I have the line on the DaVinci Syrups canadian distributor in Toronto. I will have to look up the address and email to order.

I am about 10mins from the Laurentian Power Centre.

Tom.

Hi, Tom:

Nice to know that there are a few local people here. Would you please share your info on the Canadian distributor of DaVinci Syrups. I'd like to know whether they are available anywhere other than Zehr's at the Power Centre.

Wish I knew where to find low carb peanut butter. I didn't realize how much I love peanut butter until I started Atkins. A tablespoonful of peanut butter, a tablespoonful of cream cheese, and a tablespoonful of chocolate sf syrup makes a delicious alternative to peanut butter cups, which I love (although, truly, I haven't really missed them since being on Atkins). Have to watch that peanut butter, though.

Sobey's in Waterloo at the corner of Bridgeport and Weber had a whole giant end display of low-carb stuff last time I was in, including the peanut butter, spaghetti sauces, a bunch of salad dressings, and the like.
