Ok, I have a question about pepperoni. I haven't been able to find ANY pepperoni that doesn't have dextrose listed in the ingredients. Does everyone else have dextrose in theirs too? I used to take pepperoni and mozzarella string cheese to work with me daily for a snack but I've run out of pepperoni and wonder if I should even buy it anymore. Check your labels and tell me what your experience is.

Re: Pepperoni question...
All that I have ever seen has dextrose or sugar. That's why I don't eat it often.People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

Re: Pepperoni question...
I have a few pepperoni slices microwaved and patted dry every once in awhile but not a lot. The brands I've seen have sugar added also.Carole_____________________May Water 130oz daily

Re: Pepperoni question...
That's too bad!! I have in the past 2 weeks only had it occasionally but the weight is coming off faster, I've noticed. When my son cooks up a pizza, I make one of my own. No crust. Shredded mozzarella, a layer of pepperoni, more shredded cheese, another layer of pepperoni and a little more cheese. It's small in diameter so the actual pepperoni doesn't equal even 1 serving on the package BUT maybe it was having an impact on results. Interesting.Comment

Re: Pepperoni question...
Very frustrating! Just know that later down the Atkins road, you will be able to enjoy these foods more often! I used to microwave a plate of pepperoni chips and eat them with cheese often. I lose more weight when I skip them, so it's been a while since I last enjoyed them!Height: 5'8

Re: Pepperoni question...
LOL, sounds like my post on bacon and hot dogs. I guess its pretty much the same for bacon and hot dogs, pepperoni, sausage and other processed meats...it's better that we don't consume these too often, huh?Comment

Re: Pepperoni question...
Yeah, it is much better to avoid them. I do miss pizza though and my son is soooo tired of me stealing the toppings off his pizza!! It's a good snack to increase your fat percentages for the day. Fatty and filling!! It's also an easy portable snack and I really have to have legal options at work. The vending machine has nearly 50 choices inside it. The only ONE thing I can have in there is pork rinds. That's it.Comment

Re: Pepperoni question...
LOL..My 14 year old keeps arguing with me about the topping I steal from the pizza too. He thinks it's a waste for me to eat my pizza - the crust. I beg to differ!Comment

Re: Pepperoni question...
Well, I purchase Boar's Head slices from my local Publix deli and they claim there is less than 2% of dextrose flavorings. 5 slices amounts to only 1 carb and the slices are large and round (not to mention delicious). So perhaps I'm missing something...?Comment

Re: Pepperoni question...
I just count the carbs on processed meats... otherwise I wouldn't be eating much of anything... You can go overboard on trying to eat too perfectly... I love pepperoni, 5 slices at a time... YUMMMF/46/5'2" - 249/198/115
