Yes -- Hot Dogs! (in moderation though because they have a lot of salt and I retain water very easily) In fact you just reminded me -- I have to pick up some all beef hotdogs for the Memorial Day holiday.

In general, I try to limit my intake of processed meats because it is hard to find them without nitrates added -- that's a Dr. A suggestion. But I still occasionally eat hot dogs and sausage...and I love them!

You can buy packaged meats -- just be sure to read the package and check for added sugars, nitrates, etc. Deli meats are great, too, but I think they can sometimes be expensive.

Good Luck with this WOE -- you'll enjoy it. Does your Aunt enjoy the Atkins WOE?
