AlphaNerd Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Is it safe to eat turkey bacon during the program? And if so, do you know of any sugar free options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted January 3, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2016 If you can find one that is compliant then it's fine to eat. Bacon in general is VERY hard to find compliant... I would guess the same for Turkey Bacon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 If you can find one that is compliant then it's fine to eat. Bacon in general is VERY hard to find compliant... I would guess the same for Turkey Bacon... I don't think turkey bacon is safe to eat. Compliant commercial bacon is expensive. Did you ever find compliant Canadian bacon? http://pedersonsnaturalfarms.com/product/no-sugar-bacon/ Product DescriptionIngredients: Pork, Water, Less Than 2%: Salt, Vinegar, Celery Powder.

praxisproject Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 What's the ingredient list on that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtFossil Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 What's the ingredient list on that one? Turkey, water, sea salt, celery powder, paprika, white pepper, onion powder. It's boring as hell but satisfies the "slab of salted meat" category and helped me a couple of times when I lost my appetite for breakfast. I prefer to bake it as it doesn't have enough fat to make it easy to cook in a skillet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura_juggles Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It looks delish, but it's So Expensive (at least in my neck of the woods). I was able to get almost 3lbs of chicken (granted, it was on sale) for 1.5x the price of like 8 strips of turkey bacon. The compliant pork bacon was the same price as the turkey. I may get a wild and crazy bacon hankering and get it before the Whole 30 is over but I was thinking "a whole lot of chicken or like 3 days worth of bacon?"

Keep your eyes peeled for it on sale and then stock up your freezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Keep your eyes peeled for it on sale and then stock up your freezer Stuff at Whole Foods on sale, you're funny My local WF has pretty good prices on eggs and I usually pick up some produce as their lettuces seem to last longer, but I usually wander around and wonder what my salary would have to be to actually do most of my shopping there. But if it does go on sale, you better believe I'm buying some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted January 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2016 Does the Trader Joe's turkey bacon have sugar in it? It's hard to say as it can change from region to region. The best bet is to go and have a look at the ingredients on the specific package you're going to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2016 While we don't insist you buy grass-fed or pastured meat in most cases, in It Starts With Food, it specifies that bacon is the exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Stuff at Whole Foods on sale, you're funny We don't have a Whole Foods here in Australia lol but now that I think about it, my healthy stores rarely have sales either Pastured bacon is important because it has a lot more fat than other meats, so you want that fat to be nutritious (grass fed meat absorbs Omega 3 into the fat, which is why it can be yellow in things like beef, that's the grass showing through).
