SenatorRock 708 Posted June 12, 2018 Best low carb snack on the shelf Salt & Vinegar flavor from the Turkey Creek brand is the best. If you buy the White People Brand it will look and taste like Styrofoam. Fortunately where I am at there are plenty of Messican options. They call them chicharrones and they are delicious. .

More often than not, they have a sh!t ton of salt and preservatives. But what the he!!, they have no carbs !?*!%, so snack away! I'm sure I've mentioned this to you but when I first started this craze I weighed 281,high cholesterol,high blood pressure etc. My doc asked that I not do it but I had to try.6 months of eating low carb and walking treadmill I went back weighing 231 and cholesterol was almost perfect,BP etc. Doc was literally even said it went against everything he was taught.Four months later I got to my lowest weight 199 by continuing on.Sharing this again for those reading who may be trying this or have been thinking about it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually heard a women talk about pork rinds and no carbs the other day. But this goes in line with many other no carb foods. People dont seem to understand that your body needs nutrients to run properly and have energy. Not many people want to eat cleaner or less. Its just a game of finding junk food with little to no carbs. Odd stuff. By the way they are nasty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its just a game of finding junk food with little to no carbs. Odd stuff. By the way they are nasty. Correct. Exactly the same as low fat foods that were created when that was the craze. There are healthy ways to go about both low fat and low carbohydrate diets, of course, but calling something a "good" snack because it lacks a macronutrient is retarded.

If it did, wouldn't you expect long lived populations to be indulging in such dietary patterns? ETA What do you think this statement means?

From your link: I think you guys may have a hyped idea of the low carb craze. Yes... some goofballs are going to try to eat butter n cheese smothered bacon for every meal, but thats obviously not sustainable either. Most of what I eat for fat is coconut oil, olive oil, and grassfed butter. I eat a ton of greens and fiberous veg like asparagus. There is a big difference between an induction phase and a way of life regiment. Most of the keto is based on simple foods ie organic veg, eggs, grass fed non-hormoned meats.. etc. Stay away from grain carbs. The carbs you eat... try for fiberous to keep the glycemic level to a minimum... strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, avocadoes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also for some reason I thought you were vegan.. my bad. Apologies if thats not correct. I see you edited your post, acknowledging the unhealthful qualities of bacon and pork rinds. Red meat ain't much better BTW. But I bet you still eat all that stuff, and keto fans may even suggest they're better for you than carbohydrates, which have become the new debbil. It's absurd to categorize an entire class of macronutrient as bad, whether it be fat or carbohydrates (I won't be surprised if protein is next on the hit-list). There are good and bad choices in both groups. But my bigger point is overall health is promoted by diets which look nothing like those espoused by the ketophiles. I'm not talking solely about weight loss, as disease prevention and longevity are far more important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
