For The Love Of Bacon

[suzyslim]

Hello all you lovelly supporters,

I have 2 slices of bacon & 2 eggs every morning but I just
buy the over the counter deli bacon form the supermarket.
In DANDR is states to only use nitrate free bacon

Question: What is nitrate free bacon & does it matter if I
just use the deli stuff.

HELP PLEASE

The nitrate recommendation is based upon the carcinogens in bacon smoked with sodium nitrates. It is not a weight loss issue, but a health issue. For me, I don't worry about it too much (at all), and eat bacon as I normally would. The only thing I watch for is bacon cured with sugar.

When I first started this WOL I looked for nitrate free bacon. No luck finding it. So, I just bought the regular bacon in the grocery store. It hasn't affected me negatively (not that I know of, at least).
