Smile Greetings All

Greetings fellow LCC (Low Carb Canadians)
I am a second time Aktins follower-I fell off the wagon last fall when the days became shorter, nights longer and a Tim Horton's double chocolate donut could cure all. My energy decreased and my weight increased. It is now time to recalibrate my carb cravings!
I am looking for Canadian resources as many stores are no longer with us as well as the wise words from you to stay on the chosen low carb path!

Hi Vidya777 and welcome, from the Island! I'm not much help for low-carb resources - most of what I use is found on the perimeter of the grocery store with a side-trip into the bulk bins for things like ground almonds. They tell me that the Low Carb Grocery in Ontario is good and tries to keep shipping costs to a minimum, but I don't use wraps or pastas - just some DaVinci syrups as a special treat once in a while in my (decaf) coffee.

If you're ever planning a trip to Victoria, please let us know - we have a small low-carb group who meet for lunch or dinner every month and we love to welcome visitors!

Glenda

Welcome LC agent 777!

So true about the long dark days. It's hard to get motivated when the sun's down before 7:00.

Did I hear someone say Tim Horton's...sorry got side tracked. I love that strong canadian coffee eh!

Welcome to the forum! Have a fun journey. Look forward to your posts.

Welcome Vidya - glad you found the Canadian forum.... I'm sorry to tell you that there are very few LC products available in BC any more - not that they are all that good for you in the first place.

I echo Glenda's invite if you are ever over this side of the pond.

Julie

Smile Thank-U!

Thank-you thank-you all for the warm welcomes ( and invite to visit the other side of the pond -I was just in good old Vic over spring break-had a very lovely time!). I love all your quotes AND enthusiasm! Looking forward to LC conversations!
