Bacon

[warsaw]

I just started induction today. (so far so good) :nod

I wanted to eat bacon and eggs, but all the bacon was cured with sugar and contained nitrats? urplequ:

Is there any bacon out there that will work?

Hi Mike, and welcome to ADBB!

Yes, there is bacon out there that doesn't contain sugar. Our local Kroger store sells their own store brand - but I don't know if you have Krogers there. I noticed last week that Kahn's meats carries a sugar-free bacon. And Boar's Head bacon is both sugar free and nitrate free. You can check their web site and call their 800# to see if a store near you carries their products. WELL worth a trip if you can find Boar's Head!!

It's the sugar you really need to worry about for weight loss. The nitrates are simply a personal health choice and won't stop you from losing weight.

Hope this helps!

Remember the concern about nitrates is more a health concern about carcinogens not about losing weight. Finding one without being cured in sugar should be much easier as I have still not found any but butcher cuts not cured in nitrates. (The butchers might be lying to me about their bacon, but I am not too concerned about nitrates in the first place.)
