Re: Pepporoni and Provolone?

Pepperoni is OK if all of the ingredients are on the acceptable list of foods for induction. Check the ingredient list for sugars and fillers like flour, etc. It is considered processed, so it isn't the 'best' choice. Having said that, I have it occasionally I think provalone is a hard aged cheese, which makes it OK. Jump in here & correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.

I found a pretty good peperoni with no illegal induction ingredients, but it looks like I threw away the package! I think it was Hormel. And I like mine with pepper jack!

Re: Pepporoni and Provolone?

Salami and pepperoni are processed meats, often cured with sugars, which as Julie said are not the best options. The curing doesn't add a lot of carbs, but I know it does enough to cause me problems. What I've done in the past month or so was to cook some chicken, cut the meat in stripes and have those as a snack when/if I needed a snack, didn't have time for a proper meal or had to follow the 6-hour rule. I sometimes ate them with salad dressing to add a bit more fat, especially when I had chicken breast.

Provolone is perfectly fine for Induction. Just remember that cheese is limited to no more than 3-4 oz per day.

It's also good to have printed copy of it when you go shopping, to make sure you buy only stuff you're allowed to eat at this point in your diet. This version of the list might be easier to print: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ved-foods.html
