BAcon and Sugar

[Diva217.5]

I have tried and tried, looking everywhere, but I have yet to find a package of regular bacon that doesnt have sugar on the ingredients somewhere.Is this ok, cos I notice alot of people eating bacon on a regular basis.I looovvveee bacon, but due to the sugar have been eating turkey bacon which is not as good.

Re: BAcon and Sugar

A lot of bacon in stores and supermarkets is cured.

Go to a butcher or the deli counter at a supermarket and getting a few slices of bacon straight from the cut

You're in Ontario right? You can find bacon without sugar anywhere. I get the no-name brand at Loblaws or the Independent. Check the brands that aren't big names.

Look for the lower sodium kind, that is usually sugar free (the lower sodium is good for you, too). How are you doing, Diva??

Re: BAcon and Sugar

I have been to Fortinos,Sobeys and Longos and nothing doesnt have sugar in it.We dont have a Loblaws, but thats just no name anyway, and it has sugar in it.

I just got some at a Sobeys yesterday. I'll check the brand name when I get home tonight and let you know.

Re: BAcon and Sugar

Be careful, sugar or not, I found that for me bacon was a big stall food. It has definately gone onto the "for the future as a treat only" list.

Re: BAcon and Sugar

Thanks Wannabethin.......that would be great as my kids goto school around the corner from Sobey, so I can pick some up tomarrow.
I dont know if its a stall food, but I'm in a stall right now anyway and havent eaten any bacon........so thought I would see if it would perhaps....get me out of my stall

Re: BAcon and Sugar

I don't think a couple of slices of bacon a day would do any harm...now a full lb of it like my husband did the other day...well that's just crazy!

Re: BAcon and Sugar

If a pound of bacon lists sugar, it most likey lists carbs. Count them when you eat it; s-o-o-o-o good! Drink extra water to flush the Na+ and don't eat the whole thing - crumble it into/onto your meals. mmm!

Re: BAcon and Sugar

Ok, I just got back from Sobey's. There are two brands of bacon there with 0 carbs and 0 sugar.

Schneider's naturally smoked bacon



And Sobey's brand called Compliments. Check for Compliment's Naturally smoked bacon.

Re: BAcon and Sugar

hi, funny you mentioned the bacon and sugar - the other day I was looking at the bacon contents and two of them had sugar in them, but don't worry I'm in Spain......

But I find myself checking all the carbs. on things, and I'm a newbie , as they say, anyway I'm sure the folks in the usa will be looking out for the sugar-free brands you mentioned ,
bye

Re: BAcon and Sugar

Wannabethin, I think if you check the ingredients sugar is listed with the schneiders brand,check and let me know.
All bacon says no carbs but if you read the contents, sugar is usually found.

No, both said 0 carbs and 0 sugar. Some schneider's bacon does have sugar because they have many different kinds. Check for the regular naturally smoked kind. I have the Compliments brand right here in my hand and it's also 0 carbs and 0 sugar.
