geting ready
Hi folks... I'm starting Optifast March 26 with surgery three weeks later.
So, like many obsessive compulsive types :) I'm getting ready now.
I've been reading here and one of the issues I've seen is that many of you use SF syrups with Optifast. Is that allowed? I assume it must be since so many of you do it.
So my question is, where do I get these syrups? In reading here there are a couple of places mentioned:
The Low Carb Grocery
170 Esna Park Drive #8
Markham, ON L3R 1E3
(905) 752-1284
http://www.thelowcarbgrocery.com/storelocator.php
and
Low Carb Canada at 780 Birchmount rd in Scarborough, sell the DaVinci as well.
From what I have been able to see, they sell the 750ml bottles, which I think is too much! I just want to get smaller quantities to try them out. Do you know if these locations have smaller bottles? Do you know a retailer that has smaller bottles?
Apparently there is a coffee place in the St.Lawrence Market that has SF syrups as well.. have any of you been there? Do they have the smaller bottles?
I can get the large 750 ml bottles here in Peterborough, but I'm planning a trip to Toronto soon and I would like to get a selection of syrups in small bottles when I'm there.
Thanks

Sorry Peter, I only found the syrups at the Events Cafe at Kawartha Heights Blvd. They were the large size bottles.

Low Carb Grocery sells a few flavours in the 375ml size but the price is not much different than the 750 ml size. I'd buy one or two flavours at mos and by the end of 3 weeks of Optifast they will be gone. You end up using close to an ounce each shake so you get about 25 shakes out of the 750 ml bottle. You can buy LorAnn oils in tons of flavours at Bulk Barn. They are just tiny bottles but you literally need a few drops to add a ton of flavour and they are only a few dollars per bottle. I like their grape and root beer ones the best.
