Hello,

I've previously posted a message for help on getting to know who the low carber is. I will introduce myself first. I am a marketing student from BCIT who is putting together a marketing plan for a start up lo carb food manufacturer that will be located in Vancouver BC Canada. Part of our project is to define the target market. I'd love to hear from you all and would be more then willing to share the information that I collect.

If you know any other low carbers who could answers my questions please forward my survey to them.

I can post my results in a week.

It would be much appreciated if I recieved lots of responses.

Thanks so much,

Carol Fredrikson
