Hello. I'm very new to the SBD. I haven't quite started on P1, even though I said I'd start on July 1. Well, unfortunately, due to the holiday yesterday, I blew it !!! But I'm ready to start again.

My question is...is it ok to eat pork bacon if it's lean? I'm not too fond of the turkey bacon. Also, what about beef instead of turkey? Can I have that if it's a lean cut instead of turkey? Thanks!

Look in the Frequently Asked Question section for the list of Phase 1 Allowed foods. You really should eat either turkey bacon or Canadian bacon. Everything else would contain too much fat.

Beef is fine as long as it is a lean cut. I believe the phase 1 post lists some of the lean cuts.

Each person's body is different. But for me, I used to eat regular pork bacon, center cut only. Same amount of fat as in turkey bacon in some brands.

Only now I enjoy turkey bacon so it's not an issue
