Pork rinds. Fried pig fat. 0 carbs.
I know, right? Fried pig fat? bleech. That is right up there with pickled slugs.
I have started buying them by the case load. It is a simple snack item with ZERO carbs and when you crunch them up they are a great replacement for bread crumbs. Bread crumbs that you would add to meat loaf. Bread crumbs that you bread chicken or fish with. I especially like the spicy ones.
Next I am going to try Faux Mashed Potatoes. Made with Cauliflower *grimace*. Hope I am as surprise with this as I am was the pork rinds.
Diet Update: So far the hardest part of the Adkins Diet is getting enough carbs from vegetables. I am also finding that the following tidbit is true. I have lost 2 pounds in 2 days.
Interesting tidbit: Carbohydrates make you hungry. Fat and protein actually reduce the total number of calories needed to keep you feeling satisfied. Gary Taubes, author of Good Calories, Bad Calories, said that studies showed that those who cut down on carbs ate less, but that it was important to remember that “no one was telling them to eat less!” From Judy Barnes Baker's soon to be printed book, Nourished.
