    Dextrose/EFA's/Flax/Egg Whites etc?

    Hey Guys,

    I'm changing my workout routine and i'm going to start taking diet seriously. I live in Canada - where would I look to get Flaxseed oil? Dextrose (my friend told me wine making shops, I want it now so I don't really want to order off the net)? EFA's (should i buy amonds and natty PB?) And does anybody know a place in Canada that ships buckets of egg whites? I've gone to lana's egg whites, but they only ship inside the states.

    For most of my food i'll probably buy in bulk at costso (i'm a student on a very limited income) - brown rice, eggs if i can't find an egg white supplier, tuna, lean ground beed, not too sure what else.

    Anyway, any suggestions would be great,
    HC.

    You might be forced to buy dextrose online, so I suggest:
    www.thebetterhealthstore.com

    For your EFA's you can buy Almonds/Natural Peanut Butter/Olive Oil at any grocery store. As for flax oil, you can even get that in some nice grocery stores or you can get it at a vitamin shoppe/vitamin world/gnc etc.

    I'm not sure about the egg whites but costco usually sells egg beaters (egg whites) in bulk, so you should be all set in that department.

    Goodluck bro.

    Actually I use something called "Udo's Oil" Its a blend of flax/olive/fish oil. You can find it here:

    Well it depends on how many days you lift/how much dextrose you choose to take in PWO. I'd say it will last you quite a long time.

    I bought Kraft All Natural Peanut Putter, hope this is the right stuff, the grocery store had many different types of oil - but not flax. Off to GNC or some Vitamin Shop to look tommorow.

    You should look into some Udo's Oil, its even better then flax (considering it has flax in it).

    Hey guys...I got Flax oil today at Save on Foods (In Canada)..I went to another specialty grocery store and they didn't have it.

    The thing is is cost me $18 CDN for 710ml of this stuff, seems expensive to me. How long will this last ? How many times a day do i use flax? I will use the search feature as well lol.

    I'm late

    Well bro, the cheapest spot to get dextrose is Bulk Barn... it's about .80 cents a pound.....

    Also, you can get Udo's, and other EFA's from SND Canada.... and your whey in bulk from Vitalus.com

    Furthermore, no one can tell you how many times to use it... but, post up your diet for critique...

    Hey, Thanks for the suggestions Blown_Sc. Unfortunately there isn't any bulk barns here in Alberta, but no worries I ordered a bunch of Dex online.

    Vitalus.com --> which whey do you buy from them? How much lbs? and cost?
    I went to their webpage and could not find out any pricing info, nor do I know which whey would be best for me. I'm currenlty using Optimum Nutrition Whey (buying the 10lbs bags).

    I will post my diet within the next few weeks, it's a busy ass time at school right now.
