Pork Rinds

Can you have Pork Rinds during induction? I needed the "crunch" sensation and had some so I hope so!

Re: Pork Rinds

I do believe that you can have pork rinds on induction...they have no carbs. You want to be careful of the salt however and don't go overboard. I love them and find so many people who think they are gross!!!! I like the crunch too. I buy the barbecue and hot spicy chili ones too. But you know what my favorite snack is??? Pork rinds and just a little peanut butter. You can't have peanut butter on induction, but later try it...I love it in the morning. I only use about a 1/2 a tsp of peanut butter.

I also use crushed pork rinds as a filler for hamburger patties or these great salmon patties that I make for me that my family think are disgusting...but I like them. I have kind of a boring family to cook for. Most of them don't like emom's experimentations. So, I cook for them and usually separately for me. I love to try anything! Well, good luck with your induction. I love Atkins and I especially love this BB. I have been fairly successful on Atkins due to the support I get here. I have been on this WOE for 2-1/2 months and have lost 13 pounds. I cheated a little over the holidays and didn't lose any last week...but I have jumped back on. Good luck.

Re: Pork Rinds

Ans also be careful of some of the flavored ones as they may contain sugar, like the BBQ. Otherwise...enjoy!

Re: Pork Rinds

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't yet opened the BBQ so I will check those for sure. I usually just get the palin or chili. See, Tfreel what a life saver this BB is???

Re: Pork Rinds

Technically, yes - but I always like to avoid extra salt when I can. Your mileage may vary!

Re: Pork Rinds

Tfreel do you have a favorite brand of pork rinds? There is a thread around here somewhere where people were chiming in with which they thought were the best. Several people said they liked the ones from Wallmart. I gave those a try and agree with them, they are quite good. As someone that liked pork rinds before starting Atkins I'm curious if you already had a brand you prefer.

Re: Pork Rinds

Hey just a suggestion with pork rinds, i have been eating them with a small amount of cream cheese. It sounds odd, but for me its like eating chips and dip.

Re: Pork Rinds

I like the plain ones from Price Choppers. They seem to have a better flavor then the ones from Wal-Mart, but I will eat both! Thanks for the heads up on the BBQ ones!

Re: Pork Rinds

I love pork rinds with cream cheese! I've liked them since I was a kid...now I can eat them and not feel bad!

[emom]

Re: Pork Rinds

Now cream cheese is one thing I have never tried on Pork Rinds,,,but sounds good. I like all pork rinds...doesn't matter the brand...love them with a little peanut butter!!! I have also had them with a little guacamole...I think they are much better than chips...I can hear some people going...yuk! I do agree, though, that you have to watch the salt. I do limit them!

Re: Pork Rinds

They are also very good dipped in sour cream. But I also try limiting them.

Re: Pork Rinds

Yeah I use them when I feel I need to crunch on something and I am going to try some with cream cheese eventually because it does sound wonderful!

Re: Pork Rinds

You can crush up pork rinds to use as breading for chicken or porkchops before pan frying or baking also.

Re: Pork Rinds

I tried the cream cheese...yummy! Tonite i made nachos for the family and I melted cheese over pork rinds and had my special nachos with a little sour cream, home made chili and some wonderful guacamole that I made with a chipolte salsa that we got for Christmas. It was yum yum! Those pork rinds are so versatile!!!
