Atkins & Bacon
Hi everyone!
I just got off the scale and I'm actually 25 pounds lighter then I use to be and I havent even started low carbing yet...I start Monday! I'm even more siked now then I was before, because I'm starting out lower then I thought I was HURRAY! Anyways about bacon. Bacon is acceptable on the foods list for induction but it states to make sure you don't buy bacon that is CURED IN SUGAR. I'm a guy here so help me out! I have looked at all the bacon in the stores and I'm more confused now then I was before I looked. If anyone here eats a few slices of bacon at breakfast time doing the induction phase, can you please tell me the EXACT brand of bacon you buy? In other words, if it's Oscar Myer bacon, say that! I am totally stuck on this. Thanks so much! |

I just went and looked in my freezer. I have a brand called Fields - No
Sugar Added, and a package of regular Oscar Meyer. Most of the time, I use "Bacon Bits" by Hormel, real bacon, already cooked and shredded into bits, mostly because I am not fond of frying bacon and I don't eat it at every meal. I get that kind at the Sam's warehouse store here in town, in a big bag for about $6. I don't know if the Hormel and Oscar Meyer have sugar in them, but you can find the ones with No Sugar Added, or ask the employee behind the meat counter at the grocery.

It's a good idea to stay away from bacon because it has so much salt and
nitrites. Too much salt is bad. Nirites are bad. Whether your following LC or not. Roger is suggesting to eat natural meats, meats with no processing.

I buy sugar free bacon at Krogers. It's the Krogers brand and clearly states
"no sugar added" at the top of the package. If you can't find it or don't have a Krogers, just ask at the meat department. They're usually willing to help with questions like that. I do eat bacon. It's on the induction list and that's what I go by. For breakfast I cook up two strips of bacon. When they're cooked, blot with a paper towel then roll around a 1/2 inch cube of cheese while the bacon's still hot. Yum. I even cook up a few extra for a snack later. (Non-bacon people don't bother jumping on me. It doesn't matter to me whether you are happy I eat bacon or not. I feel good, I'm losing weight -- that's far more important to me than your opinions.) Good luck on the diet!! Joan J Atkins since 01/24/04 250/230/160 --and did I mention I lowered my cholesteral 62 points in the last year?!? "Sseaott" SseaottAThotmailDOTcom wrote in message ...

Hi,
Yes, bacon is on the list. I think what gets everyone up in arms is the constant idea that people that LC are welcome to sit and eat pound after pound of bacon along with that dozen eggs !! That's not LC by any stretch. And the experienced folks on here are quick to tell you about things that can cause potential problems such as the sodium and nitrates. But, you seem like a smart guy, and you know that 1-2 slices every once in awhile shouldn't be a major problem. Good Luck, Susan S. "Sseaott" SseaottAThotmailDOTcom wrote in message ...

Look at the nutrition label, if it has no carbs it is okay. Also look at
the list of ingredients to see if sugar is listed.
