Bacon

[samjay123]

I was under the impression this wasn't aloud.
But...
I was just reading the dukan book and it says 'fat reduced bacon' . Does anyone know if this is just bacon with the fat cut off or bacon medallions or is there a certain bacon we are aloud??

Ooh, it would be good to know - we eat turkey rashers but it's not the same as 'real' bacon so if there's a type or brand that's ok it would be great to know about it!:drool:

I used regular bacon through attack with all the fat trimmed off, a full pack a day for breakfast and i lost 6 pounds in my 7 days on attack

That's interesting. I can't understand why it wouldn't be aloud if all fat is trimmed. Only it is quite salty so could cause water retention. But other than that I would say it was quite lean?? Does anyone know ?? Lol

The 'bacon' we have here in France is totally different - no visible fat (although still a fatty meat) and it's not allowed (in the French book at least).

You can see it here.

I'd stick to the official list, personally.

Hi all

It is a bit confussing. I have the 2011 english version of the book(i believe is the latest) and under meat pork is not allowed, under cooked meats fat reduced bacon allowed???????

I use be good to yourself smoked bacon medallions from Sainsbury's as they are low in salt and completely trimmed. They're nice

That's great news! I'll look forward to some bacon and eggs now!

I use those too - or good quality back bacon with all fat removed.

I keep well away.

Why??

I'm just [STRIKE]three[/STRIKE] four (YAY!) weeks into a rerererestart, and am following the French book mainly where pork isn't ok in any shape or form (only a disgusting "fat free" ham which is almost transparent and veiny...). Bacon is pork and salt so I don't go there...

I admit that I have been known to eat pork fillet (now that it's ok in the UK). My OH is a butcher and I've seen the ingredients of the "cure" he uses and it contains sugar! I'm not sure if all do, I admit.

If you're losing while eating it, go ahead please... but it'll be one of those things to stop if ever you stall...

Thank you for explaining. Yeah I think im a little worried about the salt but will give it a go and see what happens.

Thanks for your helpful response maintainer/jo - i don't eat bacon often but will be mindful to cut it out completely if i think it would help at any point
