Do you go to the Idealy You clinic? I look at their recipes every week. they have some good recipes on their website.

No... I go to Karma... I'll have to check out Ideally You's website tho'- always looking for good new recipes to try

Just saw that "Ideally You" is closing the doors permanently August 15, 2011

really, I liked their website feature with their recipes, will have to be sure to download the recipes. Thanks for the warning.

Thanks for letting me know about the recipes. I will copy some out.
It looked like that was quite a nice clinic. It seems like a sudden decision to close, the website likey won't be available long.

I do not want to drive to EDM (not that there's anything wrong with it lol) to get these products. Does anyone know any place in Calgary to get them?

If you go to the website and click on Contact Us -> Ideal Protein Centre Location -> Enter in your information, the site will give you a list of centre's in Calgary. I know there are some as my sisters friend is going to one in Calgary. I don't know who she is otherwise I would ask her.

there is a couple of places, one that I remember in south calgary... just google it and you will find the ones for calgary

There are people on the board here from Calgary, maybe someone will check in here. I was so surprised when I goggled IP and saw so many in Edmonton and surrounding areas. That made it harder to figure out which one to go to.
2RD, I asked this on one of the daily threads but they seem to roll on so quickly it is hard to find posts later. You had mentioned you were not doing broccoli and cauliflower for a week. Slowdowns are not an issue for me yet as I am still in the early weeks. But I was curious because I thought broccoli was one of the lowest carb veggies and is one of my first choices?

The site is not going offline, it will continue to be dedicated to recipes and a directory of local Weight Loss. Perhaps a gradual move away from just Ideal Protein and more of a resource for dieters.

So funny - when I saw this thread heading I checked out. I thought "Albertans" must be some kind of new artificial sweetner I hadn't heard of yet! Hapy Sunday Canadians! Love Canada, can't wait to vacation there again

I was surprised to see this thread brought back up, actually I had forgotten I'd started it. Tuscany, that is funny about you wanting to come to Canada to vacation again. All around me my neighbours are packing up to head to Arizona for the winter.
So funny to look back on the info I asked for on where to shop, Thanks to
2Ride and others I am whipping around to this places automatically now. I posted on August 1st just starting out. Next week will be November 1st and I am almost two thirds of my way to goal.
I actually got called out on the board by someone saying I was a bad example because I was losing too slow but I am so excited by my progress. I am close to the weight now that I was when I graduated from high school. When I retire this summer I hope to be 12 pounds lighter than now.
I love this plan and all the advice. The imput from my fellow Edmontonians really helped me navigate the city in search of great products.
Due to a change is area to cover for my job I pop into Sweet Tweets all the time now. I wouldn't even have noticed it except for this thread.
Thanks again for all the help.

Looking for Excellent Downtown Edmonton Restaurant

I'm looking for an excellent restaurant in downtown Edmonton that will accomodate IP and of course not too pricey.

All suggestions would be welcome - just not sure where to eat and really don't want an issue as we will be out with friends.

I am in Edmonton this week on business (travel here a lot) and have found the Mongolie Grill to be an excellent option when I've traveled You choose your food, your sauce and can have it without carbs, so you can have a yummy meal on Phase 1/2!

hmmm don't eat downtown very often. Mongolian grill 109 and Jasper from the sounds of it is good. Boston Pizza is close to there too. There is a Denny's not sure you can have anything but a salad there. I think there still is a chop house downtown you can have a steak... there is Ruth's Kriss steak house but REALLY expensive. There is the Jananese Restaurant off Jasper and I think Hull street... just a few ideas. I believe it or not ate at the spagetti house my second day on the diet and everyone looked at me as I was sooo picky... also at a Asian village type restaurant, but very slim selection there I ate salad and mint and cucumber salad...
