Nitrates

September 5, 2009, 10:18 PM

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?

Re: Nitrates

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

Re: Nitrates

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

Re: Nitrates

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