My DH and I cut one in half, as they are fairly big. Taste good, and should be all right if one doesn't go overboard.

The box says 0 sugar carbs and 1.1 net effective carbs.

Hellmans (or BEST) reduced fat mayo is yummy!

RuthXXX I am asking you this question because you too are from Canada, when Snoozin mentioned a roll of canadian bacon what is she refering to? I don't know of any bacon here in Canada that comes on a roll!!!!! Sorry Snoozin for not asking you this but where you are in the US I wasn't sure if you would be sure of what our bacon looks like that we buy in the grocery store so I wasn't sure you could answer this. I know here in NS when I buy bacon it comes in a flat 1 lb package sliced about 12" long by 2" wide. Just trying to gather as much info on all that I am allowed with before starting this diet.
thanks,
Mary

Sorry I didn't spot this earlier.
Canadian bacon is really just peameal bacon. In the USA it comes in a roll like a small ham but around these parts it is just sliced or sold whole to slice yourself. It is pork loin that has been brined and coated with cornmeal. Good stuff and OK on SBD!

Thanks RuthXXX,
I may be new here but I knew I could count on you once again. It is funny but this afternoon I was trying to figure it out and I remembered my dad eating that stuff all the time when I was a child and I wondered if perhaps that was what everyone refers to as Canadian bacon.

You can get a big roll of Canadian/Pea meal bacon at Costco for around $10.00. I cut mine into 3 peices and freeze two for later.
I peice usually covers the week for me.

I am allergic to nutrasweet/aspertame-- but I can have Splenda
But..... doesn't TAB still have sacchrine?? Check it out--- I was
also thinking Fresca did too!

I LOVE the Diet Rite with Splenda. I buy it on base 12 cans for only 2.88. I like it better then the sugared sodas and cant stand the taste of Nutrasweet. It leaves an awful after taste in my mouth.

For those of you with allergies to sweeteners, maybe you would do ok with Somersweet? It is Suzanne Somers sweetener. You can buy it on her site, or at Homeshopping Network.

Also, you can check out a health food store that might have products sweetened with Stevia only.


My latest find is Z Carb candy bars. I bought them at Walgreens in the US. No sugar alcohols, and they have dark chocolate bars that taste just like plain old dark chocolate bars. However, they are sweetened with erythritol, which is an 'ol' sweetener, but it claims to not have any gastro effects. Not sure if this is SBD legal or not - any ideas?

Hi
I have a couple foods I love that are SBD friendly.

1. Morningstar Farms meat substitute crumble - its like frozen scrambled hamburger and you can add it to chili, ls tomato sauces or anything that calls for scrambled meat.

2. Morningstar Farms Veggie Sausage links - yummy with those eggs or egg substitute

You could probably find this products made by other brands that are just as good. I live in the NE US and found them at Hannaford stores & Shaws.

Recently found www.alacarb.com. Lots of low carb/sf food items not readily available at any of the stores I shop at (yes, yes, I know SBD is not low-carb, but that's how everything gets categorized these days ;-). Plan to buy some ketchup and bbq sauce as mine that I've made haven't turned out well. they also have sf flavored syrups and fudge sauces, jams, preserves and jellies.

I have found these delish biscotti from The Smarter Carb. They have 1 net gram carb for the chocolate covered ones and 0 net carbs for the other flavor. they are small, but are so tasty and only 60 cals per serving. It is a nice snack with a cup of coffee or tea.
