Thanks, I found Applegate Organic Bacon and there are 0 sugars listed on the Nutrition Facts but the ingredients list there is less then 2% of cane sugar.
I read that if it’s not enough to list in the Nutrition Facts that is should be OK to eat on P3,
Is that accurate?

In reply to Elizabeth. There are sugar free bacon options but you must read all the ingredients as most will have added sugar. Bacon is regional by brands so it will vary. Ezekiel is sprouted grain and usually is fine after second week of p3.

I’ve done the VLCD 4 times now and I have gone down each time, I’m getting ready to start P3 and I’m within my reach of my goal weight. I do fine in P3 and I do stabilize for 21 days.
but I’m always unsure if I can have Bacon and some other meats they say you can have, I can’t find any Bacon that doesn’t list at least some sugar. How do I tell if it’s OK or not?
I tend to stick to eggs, chicken breasts, salads dressing w/o sugar and veggies.
I didn’t think you could add carbs like Ezekiel breads until P4.
Can you clarify these things for me?

Thanks

In reply to orientalbelle. Eat eggs and turkey bacon for breakfast getting 30 g of protein.. You can have Greek yogurt and have large meat portions with your other meals.. Shoot for 50-60% of your daily calories as protein Shawna Culp

This is wonderful! Thanks for posting a sample menu and showing the breakdown and ratio of foods. This is so helpful to see what and how to do the balancing act of p3 for newbies. My question is how I get 60% protein in the beginning of p3 when I can’t/won’t be using protein powder, cheese, nuts, and Greek yogurt until the 2-3 week of p3? My struggle is getting all that protein. Do I just munch on boiled shrimp and sauteed chicken all day for the first week?
