Sausages

[tarynh86]

Ok so tonight when my boyfriend and I went grocery shopping we picked up some sausages. They have 0 carbs per sausage (no fiber, no sugar). When I read the ingrediants sugar is listed as an ingrediant, although it's fairly low down on the list. Obviously it's a small amount because the sausages are really big and it says there are no carbs per sausage. Do you think they're ok to eat during induction? Mayonaise has a small amount of sugar and that's ok to eat....I don't want to screw things up!

>>it says there are no carbs per sausage.>>

But it's not true, as you realized!

Labels are allowed to round down ... and they do.

That's why it's so important to check the list of ingredients.

As to whether or not they're safe for you to eat ... well, you'll have to discover that.

It's almost impossible to find link sausage that doesn't have a certain amount of sugar in it ... roll (bulk) sausage is easier to find.

If the convenience is important ... then I would try it.

They never bothered me, but your mileage may vary.

Re: Sausages

I feel like I've done well so far. I'm trying VERY hard to stick to legal foods only, besides the margarine mishap I've done a really good job. It's only been a week since I started on (wednesday was a week) and I've already lost 10lbs. My weight loss has slowed down the past few days ( I don't think I've lost any weight in 2 days) but overall I've done well. I don't think the minimal amount of sugar will be that bad, maybe what I can do is count 2 sauage (if I can even eat that many) as 1 carb.

Re: Sausages

Remember ... you won't lose every day ... or every week.

Your body has to take stock every once in a while ... it has to figure out what's going on!

The margarine wasn't a "mishap" really!

Hopefully you'll like butter better and wonder why you ever ate "m"!

Re: Sausages

I bought butter tonight and had some on my green beans, it wasn't bad. I've hardly eaten today though, I've been so busy and I'm not hungry at all. I've had like 10 carbs!!! I need to eat more before I go to bed. I think I'm too hard on myself when I don't see progress. It took awhile for me to gain all this weight so I shouldn't expect it to fly off.

Doesn't mean we don't want it to, though!!!
