    Nitrates

    Dr. Atkins states to avoid nitrates as they are a "known carcinogen."

    My question is will nitrates stall my ketosis or are "known carcinogens" just bad for you?

    Nitrates do not stall ketosis or weight loss... they are just considered 'bad' for you as smoking is considered 'bad' etc...

      Wow thanks. A few slices of pepperoni/salami/pastrami will really hit the spot.

        Watch for sugars (often in the form of dextrose) and other fillers in pepperoni.
