Is pepperoni low carb/o carb?

If you're a girl, you can expect an up to five or six pound
fluctuation depending upon what time of month it is. As for me, I only
look at my pants size, not what the scale says.

I finally met my goal a few weeks ago at 168. Since then I have been eating
a lot of pepperoni, the label says 0 carbs, 0 sugar yet when I got on the
scales the other day I had gained 1 lbs this is the first time that i have
gained weight since i have been on atkins. i find it kinda strange. the
atkins website says some processed meats like pepperoni contain hidden carbs
or sugars, so even though the label said 0, I would have to assume that the
label on the hormel pepperoni is a bunch of bs? Anyone else discover this?

I guess no more pepperoni for me, at least not a bag a day anyways lol.

As always, calories DO count. Howsomever, you gotta count up to 3500
extra, unburned, to build a pound of fat. As the others in this thread
have said, it's probably the weight of retained water triggered by the
extra sodium. Many say you shouldn't weigh yourself every day. I in fact
do and record it all in a spreadsheet, which includes a graph. Said
graph shows peaks and valleys. A depth of 2 to 2-1/2 pounds on any given
day is not too uncommon. The trend-line is flat, at about 165 pounds.

Anyway, for me the question is moot, since in my personal experience
pepperoni is in fact high-carb. The only way I ever ate the stuff was on
top of a pizza...

Little digression he is there something wrong with temporary water
weight? I mean, it's not like the extra fat that wraps around your gut
when you get to be my age, is it? Where is this water physicaly located?
Does it even show?

Salamis are VERY high calorie as well as high in saturated fat. Not a
good thing to eat in quantity, not really "snack" food. No matter how
few carbs you eat, you have to avoid excessive calories.

Why anyone would start worrying about seeing a one pound difference in
weight over a week is beyond me. It's normal for someone 168 to
fluctuate by a couple of pounds, haven't you seen this before?

really..I can vary 3 pounds day to day depending on hydration levels.
