    A question regarding Bacon!!

    Hi All!!

    I have been scouring the supermarkets for bacon that I can eat! I live in Canada and so far the closest thing to legal bacon I can find has no carbs/sugar in the nutritional info and no sugar in the ingredients except for at the very end of the list it shows "smoke may contain milk solids and sugar". What do you guys say about this? Is it something we disregard because it is in the trace amount or do we ban it altogether??

    Thanks!! yeesh!!

    Re: A question regarding Bacon!!

    Honestly I just limit how much bacon I eat. I do check the carb count and ingredient list, and as long as it's 1 or less in the carb department, I'll eat it. Wal-mart sells sliced pork bellies (basically bacon without the preservatives) if you're interested in that. I've seen it a few times at my local one. Donno if they've got the supercentres near you yet though as I don't know where you are. They only rolled out ours a year ago here.

    Anyway - for me it's not a trigger, but that's kind of what you have to find out for yourself.

    Mini Goals:
    Goal 1 - 10% (September 13th, 2009)
    Goal 2 - Pre-Pregnancy Weight with 2nd Child (September 27th, 2009)
    Goal 3 - 50 lbs down (December 1st, 2009)
    Goal 4 - Highest Pregnancy Weight with 1st right before c-section (February 20, 2010)
    Goal 5 - Lowest weight reached on WW after having 1st child
    Goal 6 - 100 lbs down
    Goal 7 - Pre-pregnancy weight with 1st
    Goal 8 - Weight I met my husband
    Goal 9 - 150 lbs down
    Goal 10 - Weight in Grade 8
    Goal 11 - Weight in Grade 6

      <perk> someone say bacon???? hehe

      I just watch how much I eat, count the carbs in FitDay. Really if the bacon is a secondary ingredient and the rest of the meal is vegetables and so forth I don't eat near the amount I used to.

        It is nearly impossible to find the "perfect" Atkins bacon - no nitrates, sugar or starches. I use the one that I think has the least amount of sugar. Not technically legal, but...it is my choice. I agree with the posters above, I rarely eat more than 2 slices now - a year ago was a different story!

          Re: A question regarding Bacon!!

          I can only find sugarfree (and not cured in sugar) and nitrate free bacon at Whole Foods and Sunflower Market here.
          My favorite brand is Applegate Farms - I THINK! lol
          The butcher can also get you good bacon.

          When I don't have the goo stuff I try and make the best choice at the grocery store and limit the amount I eat.
          If it spikes cravings, etc I know not to eat it again...

          All bacon is high in sodium so moderation is key... for me anyway, I retain water better than a sponge.

              I think when they put "trace" amounts or "could contain" I think it is for legal reasons for people with allergies. Like when they put "could contain trace amounts of peanuts" on certain chocolate bars that does not contain them because of cross contamination.
              Liv, what store do you buy the olympic bacon from? We have a Metro, Safeway and Superstore. We are supposed to be getting a Walmart Superstore in the next couple of years.
