Hi everyone. I was wanting to know if anyone has found a brand of Bacon that is not cured with sugar. I have been having bacon and eggs every morning and consuming the bacon that has been cured with sugar on the label has not affected my wieghtloss for far. However seeing that it has a lil sugar in it, I will lessen my consumption unless some one informs me that there is such a brand I can purchase..
I in fact believe that the stalls people go thru on Atkins when it comes to wieghtloss are these hidden sugars in items such as these that we have to read a little closer to see whats there.. without the magnifying eyes to such fine labels we are sure to stall, get discouraged, and quit.
So Anyone with any suggestions or any experience with food that cause wieghtloss stalls.. I welcome U all to share them with me.. Thank U[ / icon_smile. gif]

I found bacon that isn ' t cured with sugar or nitrates at my local publix. Not sure if you have publix grocery stores where you are, but I think it was from oscar meyer. I could be wrong about the brand...
It didn ' t seem to cook up very well though, so I switched to a brand I found at either Walmart or Winn Dixie ( don ' t recall which ) that was cured w / o any sugar, but it did have some nitrates. I know they aren ' t the best for you but it cooked up like normal bacon and tasted a ton better too. Maybe that was the oscar meyer one...
But, they are out there - just search your local markets until you find one that has no sugar added or cured w / o sugar on the front - they advertise it usually because it ' s a great selling point [ / icon_biggrin. gif].

It is indeed Oscar Mayer Natural Bacon - no sugar or nitrites - I just picked some up tonight. Has a lot of green on the label... As for the pic - I posted it nearly 4 years ago. I know i had to make it a. gif file to get it to be a small enough file size and then uploaded it to the site. Not sure if you can still do it that way. You may have to put it on an image hosting site like photobucket or freeimagehosting. net and just put the html code in there... We have a technical FAQ forum that has a lot more info on that.
