Is pepperoni and other similar types of meats ok to eat if they say no carbs but include dextrose in the ingreidents?

Re: pepperoni?
With dextrose in the ingredients I would avoid them. The 'zero carbs' can be stated if they have less than 0.5 carbs per serving, and some companies make a very small amount be a serving exactly so they can state 'zero' in the numbers although they know we would usually eat much more than that as a norm.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: pepperoni?
Thank you! it does say trace carbs per 100g so would that be any better? Its really hard to find a deli meat without added ose or sugar isnt it?Comment

Re: pepperoni?
i have them chopped on salads, and as snacks, port scratchings are very low carb as well, these are best when everybody is eating crispsComment

Re: pepperoni?
I eat pepperoni sparingly, mainly because it always makes for an unpleasant BM a day later if overeaten! LOL.
Aside from the GI tract, I have not found pepperoni to be a problem although your mileage may vary.

Re: pepperoni?
Same answer -- watch your intake and check the nutrition info.
During our beach stay a few weeks back, the other families planed a hotdog night. My wife bought me Hebrew National franks which contain no sugar (Ingredients: beef, water, salt, contains 2% or less of spice, paprika, hydrolyzed soy protein, garlic powder, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite, flavorings.) and one carb gram per dog.Eric

Re: pepperoni?
It is a processed meat, so it likely has a lot of sodium. I do pepperoni chips sometimes (nuked slices) as a treat, but would not do them regularly, especially during induction.
Moderation is the key, as it is with everything in any WOE. Sometimes you have to have some kind of indulgence. I would say, try a little and see what it does for you.
Best of luck!

Re: pepperoni?
If you buy pepperoni sticks, they often have 0 sugar and less sodium... i chop them up in my salad sometimes. My husband's Aunt works for O'Boy O'Berto, so I often use theirs, but whatever brand they sell at G.I. Joe's (if you have that where you live
) doesn't have any sugar in it at all...
