As far as I know Pepporoni is fine on Induction

Dr A recommended staying away from nitrates because they have been shown to be carcinogens not because they will stall weightloss. You should still be in ketosis. Watch out for hidden sugars and excess sodium(both of which pepperoni can contain).

It all depends. For me, Atkins was a quick way to lose weight and now i am eating healthy, but on induction, i ate lots of pepperoni. Make sure it says it has zero carbs.

The stuff at my superwalmart has zero carbs and i went in there and told the guy to cut the entire block up into slices and it lasted about 2 weeks. Much cheaper than buying it in the little bags from hormel from the grocery store.

Carbs are all that really matters on induction. that is why bacon and sausage and pepperoni are all fine. Yes they have bad stuff in them, but for the short time that you are on induction, it will be just fine. The important thing is that you see some real results and that is why induction has different rules than the other stages of Atkins.

Like with any processed food you might buy you're gonna have to read the labels. Look for hidden sugars and/or starches. You'll be amazed what they're in. I was. I agree about the nitrates. They're not good for us, but they won't stall your weight loss. Personally, I try to avoid them as much as I can.
