Hi, me again!
As I've said before, I haven't started my LC program yet (South Beach). I'm in the midst of doing research, reading everything I can get my greedy little hands and eyes on :-) One thing I've read a lot about here is how lowfat products often substitute "junky" things to make up for the loss of flavor. Or something like that g. I was stunned when I went to the grocery store yesterday and really really examined those labels! I've always considered myself to be a pretty savvy consumer, a label reader, but I wasn't really paying attention to some of those loooooooooong ingredients. Not as savvy as I thought I was. I just had a read of the label on some "turkey bacon" I bought a while ago. No high fructose corn syrup, but it does contain sugar. The label, however, reflects ZERO carbs which I find hard to believe given that the product does contain sugar. Thoughts? I'm a soon-to-be SBDer, not Atkins, and the good doctor doesnt' want me to consume loads of sat fat which is why the turkey bacon intrigued me in the first place. And it does taste pretty good :-) but then again, so do other things that are absolutely death to this dietary style. Oi. Lots more reading to do before I understand what I'm about to embark upon!
