I did the program last year and I loved it just doing a quick reboot as I was feeling a little sluggish due to all the holiday food:)

I'm from NS.

Hello Willi are you working with a coach? I started with a place on Bedford highway she was fabulous but due to distance I rely on these boards and some alternatives and just stock up when in Halifax or Moncton.

This may have been brought up earlier but DO NOT have ANYTHING shipped from US via UPS!!! Have them ship via USPS. I learned this the expensive way. I had to pay $50 extra because UPS are greedy and charged that as brokerage fees. NEVER AGAIN!

I'm finding the IP diet pretty easy to follow and my husband (just got married Oct 20th) is being very supportive about cooking meals I can eat (he does all the cooking). I haven't had a chance to read through everything yet (just joined) but was wondering if anyone found a place out near me that sells the WF products? I haven't tried them all yet but I quite like the Italian dressing and 1000 Island dressing. I just placed an online order for some others but was quite surprised with the over $9 shipping fee.

My local Metro Supermarket sells some of the WF salad dressings, and frequently the pancake syrup. Most of the time though I order online through www.thelowcarbgrocery.com. They also have a store location, I believe in the Markham area. The address is on their website.

I am from Nova Scotia but living in Alberta now. I will be going back east to Halifax for the month of August while my brother and wife go to their other home in PEI. I will be able to visit out mom who is in assisted living so she won't feel deserted while they are away.

I've ordered from http://www.proteinwell.ca/ a few times. I assume this is the place you're referring to? It always got to me, and it always took around 2 weeks to get to me. Jan12th was a Saturday, so if they don't process orders on the weekends (which they probably don't) the order has only been out for 5 working days - 6 if you include today. Give it a few more days.

I envy you. I'd love to be able to browse around their store.... although I'd probably spend a fortune. They have a lot of good stuff.

Sent you a PM, did you get it?

Day 1 back on phase 1! Looking forward to getting some of this holiday and vacation weight off! I'm finding it harder this time on the protocol opposed to when I originally was on it though. :(

I have ordered twice. My first order took about two weeks. When I emailed them I never did get a reply! FYI... That order still reads processing in my account. Love their stuff though!
Welcome!

Just wondering has anyone had any luck with Dr Bernstein products?
If so which ones?
and did it slow your weight loss down?

I think the Dr. Bernstein RTDs, oatmeals, and soups are excellent alternatives to the IP ones. Very, very similiar if not identical in nutritional values. I've used all of them from time to time and it didn't slow things down.

I've noticed this week that www.proteinwell.ca seems to liquidating off all their diet products. Looks like they're going out of business? We may be lucky that we have access to Dr. Bernstein's for alternatives.
