I like bacon and am trying to find a good, low-sodium brand. Any uncured brands without nitrates?
The lowest-sodium bacon I have found at ordinary supermarkets is Oscar Mayer Lower Sodium bacon at 170mg per 2 slices. Regarding uncured meats free of nitrates, Applegate Farms is just one nitrate-free brand. Check local health food stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s – you are almost certain to find excellent, fresh bacon there! Am I going to die or suffer healthwise by eliminating carbohydrates like starches and foods with added sugar & replacing them with veggies and low-glycemic fruits? Certain organizations are claiming this. I just think, “Was it really that horrible for us healthwise before the advent of processed foods like cereal, cookies, or anything man-made?” – because ultimately, that is all that is being eliminated here. During the temporary Induction and OWL phases of Atkins, however, certainly the carbohydrates grams are lower; but they only increase in time in terms of introducing more low-starch, low-glycemic fare into the diet, as per Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolut
