Hi, KellyC ~

Turkey bacon

Now there’s a picture for ya: pigs with wattles and tail feathers!

Nope, don’t see it listed on the list of lean, leaner or leanest meats.

Turkey bacon may very well have less fat than traditional pork bacon; however, it still has fat.

It is about 74% fat, fairly high in sodium and cholesterol as well.

Some physicians and nutritionists do not recommend eating smoked and/or cured meats, partially due to their higher sodium levels but also because eating foods that are smoked may not be the healthiest options for consumers.

Bacon…love that commercial for Beggin’ Strips (bacon-flavored dog treats) with the little curly moppet running wildly around his master’s home with a guttural growly “mmmba-a-a-a-cuunnn mmmmm-ba-a-a-cuunn…” rolling off his salivating furry mouth…

Sure, you can eat it if you want to; however, it is not part of the program.

They have to say lean because otherwise they'd have to change the term to something other than L&G!

Yeah, right.

I don't know what they use but it's definitely not fattier than 80%.

How can you be so sure about that?

If it was it wouldn't hold together well enough to stay a patty shape.

That is simply not true. There are plenty of burgers made with higher than 20% fat and they hold together just fine.

Why do you question something that so obviously has worked for me?

I just believe that following the quick start guide is the easiest and fastest way, that's all. I'm only questioning the tweeking of the program as stated in the Quick Start Guide. This is not a personal attack.

I'm not. I'm not changing my opinion cause there's no need to.

I'm not asking you to, but please respect mine.

Atkins does work btw, and that diet includes TOO much fat.

Medifast is not Atkins.

There's nothing more to be said.

Now, I agree. Eat what you want as Nancy says.

Don't make me do it.

Not necessary, officer, situation already diffused and the crowd has dispersed.

Or bikinis and mud so we could let them go at it and sell tickets.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I already have a sponsor lined up for the mud wrestling. Burger King.

I cannot believe you are fighting about turkey bacon. This is silly.

[Serendipity]

I didn't consider it fighting, just lively discussion.

I hardly got warmed up!

Which makes me think that Biki's idea would have been good. If that wasn't warmed up, man, would be interesting if you had...

[Serendipity]

You've been spending too much time with Unca, Mike, lol
