bacon?

[beebparis]

i don't know why i'm so skeptical, but I still can't believe you can eat *all the fat you want* on this diet. is it really true?

i love bacon and serve in a restaurant. obviously we have bacon up all day, so over the course of the day i probably have 10 pieces. i feel like i must gain weight from it. and even if i don't, this must be terrible for my heart, right?

any input?

Re: bacon?

Well . . . I dont think anywhere in DANDR does it say 'eat all the fat you want'

I would be more worried about the sodium and nitrates in the bacon if it were me.

Re: bacon?

Agreed, Elizellen.

The sodium will definitely bog you down, especially if you're really sensitive to it.

I like bacon, but I don't eat it more than 2-3 times a week, and only 2-3 slices when I do. It's extremely calorie dense, and while we don't have to count calories it doesn't mean that calories don't count.

Bacon is a lovely benefit of this way of eating. It really is, but as with all things - moderation is key.

Re: bacon?

Eat when you are hungry. Definitely not "as much as you want". I buy low sodium bacon. I've yet to find a sugar free bacon that doesn't have nitrates, so I eat bacon in moderation.
