I love bacon. I eat about 4-8 pieces per day, 5 or 6 times per week. It is regular (lower fat) Oscar Mayer. Any one have opinions as to whether bacon is bad for someone, and if it inhibits weigfht loss because it is so fatty. I have went for 260 to 218 in 3-4 months on a low carb diet, all the while eating bacon. I am a 40 year old male, 6 ft 3 inches.

Thanks for any opinions!!!

ive never heard of bacon being a problem, and i eat it all the time!!! i say go for it!! congrats on your loss!!!!

mmm i love bacon. No problems here, i eat the low sodium bacon.

love da bacon....mmmmmm

Its how I start my day...switch it up for Canadian Back Bacon at 0.3 carbs a slice...but some yummy goodness in the morning

I miss my bacon when I skip it some mornings. I use a low sodium style from Costco. Would hate to give it up

yumm love the bacon! its a snack to me. I love it fresh cooked wrapped around a square of cheese!! I also get the low sodium.

bacon wrapped scallops are wonderful snacks... mmmm

Bacon, bacon, I love bacon. I have two to four pieces with my eggs most mornings.

Never a problem with bacon here!! To be honest I love it so much I have eaten a whole pkg. as a snack before. Eat your bacon and enjoy it too!!

I am totally addicted to Bacon. Sometimes I have as much as a pound a day. I lost 60 pounds in just 6 short months eating all the bacon my heart desired.

The costco brand is fantastic. You can get four individually wrapped pounds for just 7.75 total, which is about a third of what you pay at the grocery stores.

And kmdp, I cannot stress to you strongly enough that you MUST get this "low fat diet" notion out of your head. The atkins way means that you eat fat to get skinny.

Low fat food, as intellectually appealing as the concept may sound, is a disaster. Look at how obesity levels in this country have soared since that fad caught on.

I've been buying nitrate-free bacon only sparingly at the health food store because of the cost...I'm so glad you mentioned the low sodium bacon at Costco!

Maybe we need to create a new catch phrase. "Eat fat, lose weight".

DH and I eat bacon several times a week with breakfast. Hasn't stalled either one of us. We love it with our eggs.

I buy the low sodium bacon and make it in the morning.After drying on a paper towel I pit it in a ziplock in the fridge for the day.Fresh bacon on my salad during lunch and some to top chicken and cheese or beef for dinner.Really gives a meal that added YUMM.

I think you answered you own question. I love bacon too. So as long as our are losing - ENJOY!!!
