| - Over four years ago, I decided to take a free course at Markham-Stouffville Hospital about Diabetes and nutrition. I am at a higher risk of developing type 2 Diabetes, as my mom has it and my grandmother on my mom's side of the family also had it.
The course was broken down into two parts. There was a private weigh-in both times. I was shocked that I had ballooned so much over the years at my first weigh-in. I then went on a cruise the following week and decided on my vacation that I was going to change the way that I ate (yes, you read it correctly -- eating healthy on my vacation). I took what I had learned from the course and changed my eating habits.
A month later, I went for the second part of the course. I had lost ten pounds. To make a long story short, I lost sixty pounds over several months and have kept them off ever since.
My diet tends to be low-carb, but it isn't as strict now as it was then. Shopping at the Low Carb Grocery helped me lose weight and continues to help me maintain my weight. I was surprised that this store is a five-minute drive from where I live when I first was introduced to it!
I am a regular customer there. Most of the staff members pull up my name in the system to credit my purchases towards future discounts with the store's point system.
I tend to shop on the weekend where there are specials and samples. Last weekend, I sampled carrot chips and bought the beet ones. I don't need to taste the latter. I like beets.
I have so many products that I love that help me maintain my weight, such was protein powders, miso soup, PB2 powdered peanut butter, lemonade, and so much more.
This store constantly introduces new products. I also like the size of this store. It's not massive, so you can find everything that you need. If you have any questions, the friendly staff there never hesitate to help you out.
