All beef hotdogs

[sarranichole]

Are the all beef hotdogs o.k. on induction? I only ate one, but I heard that some hotdogs have too much nitrates/fillers, so now I'm not sure

Re: All beef hotdogs

You can't know unless you read the ingredients. And this applies to any food -- always check the label and the list of ingredients.

Re: All beef hotdogs

the label said 1 carb. but what else am I looking for? what fillers, ect.. would be bad?

Re: All beef hotdogs

There are many things you should look after, I'm not sure I can give you a complete list. The most obvious stuff is sugar (in any form, e.g. dextrose), bread crumbs, rusk...

Do you have the list of foods acceptable during Induction? It's in the book, pages 124-129.

Again, check the ingredients, not only the number of carbs.

My hotdogs contain 'sodium nitrate'... it's the last item on the list of ingredients.

Hot dogs contain nitrites which are used as preservatives, to keep the hot dogs pink and to combat botulism etc...

Makes me wanna chew up a Vitamin C tablet...

I never had a problem with all beef hotdogs. I grill them nicely, put some cheese on them, then dip in spicy mustard!

Look at the ingredients. The term "all beef" just means that the meat is beef, not a combo of chicken, turkey, pork and beef.

I use hotdogs as an emergency food. 3 1/2 weeks I have had half a hot dog.
You might get better hot dogs at a deli?
