Hey all I really wanna go across the border to the states to get some weight loss friendy products....i went to my one month follow up yestuday and many people were saying that the U.S has better health products and things pertaining to weight loss. So im planning to go across soon and want to know from anyone who has gone where they went and what stores are best to go to...

 

Thanks in advance...yoyo

I was one that went to the US for products however, I have been finding that you can go to low carb grocer or low carb canada and get some of the same products here. So check there because you will find that with the cost of gas, and exchange rates things may be higher then the cost to get at one of those stores.

can't beat shopping in the states no matter what the exchange is! they have so many more sugar free or reduced sugar products than we do! i get my premier protein shakes at sam's (and yes you need a membership card 2/$40) well worth the buy! i find most of my groceries at wal mart on military road  - it's a super center as well as getting all my vitamins there! danon light & fit greek yogurt in all kinds of flavours of course being greek yogurt is more pricey BUT if you want greek you gotta pay for it! most 80 calories and 12g protein! fiber 1 cereal.  i also get my salad dressings there, as well as low fat cheese, weigh****chers cheese strings - all kinds of awesome products.. good luck and have fun shopping there!  have yet to find strawberry protein shakes.. but am sure they'll be coming.. one day!
