Well I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Netrition.com and Amazon. I just wondered if any of you guys ordered hard to get items or relied on the grocery store?

i buy what i can locally, and fill in the blanks (which are failry significant here) with online ordering, myself. most sweeteners i end up getting online, for example.

I buy a lot from netrition. Coconut flour & oil, flaxseed meal and almond flour, DaVinci sf syrups, FiberFit, black soybeans, bran crisps, whey protein powder, just to name a few. Most of these I can't find in the grocery store, or only a limited selection.

I've just placed an order with carbsmart for some syrups and flaxseed meal. Almost ordered 0 carb peanut butter, but something stopped me. Gotta trust that intuition!

Yes I get my cereals, coconut oil and flour and alot of the hard to find items online, regular food I can buy locally. When the places of business decided that we weren't interested in low carb any more alot of things got dropped, but I found if I really looked I could still find an adequate number of items especially online. Thank goodness for my computer.

I haven't ever ordered anything online. Seems like I might be missing out on some good items. Great question! It was really helpful.

You probably have a point, though i usually order low carb cereal, and coconut flour online, and a few more items that can't be bought locally. I mostly eat things bought from the grocery store though

for me, it depends a lot on what it is. i'm more likely to get sub ingredients for cooking to help me lc my recipes; less of the packaged foods, which are more likely to cause problems for me. a few here and there, yeah. but i'm more careful about those.

early on when i was just a lc-neophyte, i tried the lc junk food, when it was still to be had and readily available. and it worked the same as regular junk food to me; i overate it, and tended to gain. go figure.

I ordered some low carb french dressing from online today. I hope it tastes good as the atkins dressing did.

What type of French dressing did you order? I just finished a bottle of Walden farm French and it was pretty bitter stuff-though their Thousand Island was good.

I did buy the french dressing but it has not arrived at my house yet. Thanks for telling my about the taste because I am a very picky eater and if something is not good I probably will not finish it. I have look at recipes though to make it. I wonder what they taste like?

Maybe you'll like it-who knows? Hope so.
