Thanks for all the info! I think I need to start using more alternative product. The expense of this diet is becoming too much. I have been using the drinks from Walmart .
I'm sorry, but at this time we're not set up to ship into Canada.

Well that stinks. It's not as though the products aren't MADE in Canada. So I'm sorry. I gave you misinformation. I thought the Canadian headquarters shipped, too.
Their prices are cheaper than IP products and they have good sales; sometimes up to 40% off. I'm unsure if they ship to Canada. I'm having issues with their site right now to check, but here's the link if you are able to view it. http://shop.lindora.com/
You're allowed 1 bar a day. Now if you start ordering things like chili or spaghetti from some of the different sites those are further restricted to 2 a week, but you can have a bar every day. I even find that I do better with a restricted every day in my diet.

Thank you so much for the info on PROTEIN WELL...i have just placed my first order and it is the same product line that I use on Nashua for only 8.95 shipping vs 27$ from the USA.....omg this is fabulous ......
seems like there is more doing alternatives... I have ordered from Nashua Nutrition, just DO NOT use FED EX, they charge you tax which is okay, but they charge you a handling fee of $11. so I do regular post to canada takes a little longer but cheaper in the long run.
