Low Carb Breakfast

In regards to bacon, If you are following the Dr. B program you are eating a high fat low carb diet, so the thing people following the traditional dietary guidelines would be concerned about, fat, should not concern you. Recent research also shows that saturated fat is not bad for you, contrary to what we have been all taught.

Some people object to the sodium nitrate or sodium nitrite, referred to as "cure", that is added to prevent spoilage. There are some bacon's that claim to use no cure but if you read their labels you will see celery juice, celery salt etc. These things are high in naturally occurring nitrates so claiming they use no cure is a scam. The pink color and taste of bacon come from the cure so bacon truly made without cure wouldn't be bacon. Here is a web page that discusses some of these issues.

If you decide you want to avoid cured meat one way is to eat a breakfast sausage made without cure. I get frozen patties made without cure. As always you have to read the labels to find products like these.
