Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 No, I didn't really measure my food. Just mentally. I had some problems with blockages in the past and Dr. K suggested that I eat Bacon for the lubrication, lol. I do eat a lot of yogurt, however it is light. I get a lot of my protein that way. I love Triscuts, they are my favorite. Especially with Longhorn Cheese. I too eat Jerky, however I'm recently out. I need to get some more. Thank you again for getting back to me.

I eat jerky ALOT. That probably saves me from gaining weight since it is fatfree and pure protein. Salty, though. Marta > > Thanks Marta!!!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Aw, ok. I eat some Splenda occassionally. Yeah well blockages or greasy poop, I'd rather have greasy poop. One of my downfalls is ice cream. XOXO Dani mjs93311 wrote: Well, I don't eat artificial sweeteners. I hate having greasy poop so I eat low fat.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Marta, I would die without artificial sweeteners! Am I doomed? I, too eat yogurt daily. I use the low-carb stuff. It tastes a little chalky, but I'm used to it now and I actually like it. I have a real sweet tooth and try to cut down on the carbs by using the artificial sweeteners. I do eat the real thing when it comes to chocolate, though.

I really tend to ignore these types of research because one day things are bad then another day they are the best thing since sliced bread. If everyone who ate nitrates got cancer, Imagine the people who would be affected. Besides, Have you read the information that says that Vitamin C and E in adequate levels in the body tended to negate the effects of this on the human body? If processed meats are bad for you then I figure I'm screwed ...LOL, because I love beef jerky, Subway's cold cut combo and BMT sandwiches and tons of processed meats. I imagine it is like everything else. Natural is better but limiting things that are not the healthiest for you. It is like Mc D's or Taco bell. They have healthy meals but when I wasn't Mc D's or taco bell, I want my greasy fattening burgers. I just don't do it often as a rule. Who wants a salad from Mc D's.....I can make my own salad at home. Now a Mc Rib?! that is a different thing...LOL. Mel **************Gas prices getting you down?

Here is the directions I had on my computer for how to do it in the oven. Easiest way is to dry the jerky in your oven. You will need a wire rack or something like that for the jerky to rest on. You want a cookie sheet in the bottom of your oven to catch the drippings. Set the oven at 140 degrees and leave the door partially open. It will take six to eight hours to cure the jerky.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks for the info. I had read that too. I guess the best thing to do is make my own so I can control the ingredents. I'll try Marta's recipe. Subject: Re: what I ate today To: DS_Friends_Keshishian Date: Sunday, June 22, 2008, 6:01 PM Thanks, Vicki, that is good advice. See, in the old days before Nitrates we had food poisoning. Now we live long enough to have cancer! You can't win for losing!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Okay, you got me out of my chair. I went to the pantry and got my jerky out of the drawer. I have two brands. One is Pacific Gold and lists no nitites as you said. The other is World Kitchens ( I'm not sure where I bought that one) which does list sodium nitrite in the ingredients. So maybe the Costco one is okay. Subject: Re: what I ate today To: DS_Friends_Keshishian Date: Sunday, June 22, 2008, 6:53 PM > > I love jerky, but aren't the nitrites in it bad for us? ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- ---- Bonnie, that's a good question. Another good question is whether all beef jerky contains nitrites. I'm looking at the label on Pacific Gold Beef Jerky (from Costco, where else?) and there is no reference to nitrites. That doesn't mean there aren't any, of course. But the label says " No Preservatives Added, No Artificial Ingredients " and nitrites are usually a preservative used in such as lunch meat, hot dogs and so on. Bottom Line: I don't know the answer to your question, but it's a good one. Phil from Shafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hey Guys, There is a place in Porterville, California if you ever get around there that has natural jerky. They don't add the sugar or anything to it like the stuff that you get a Costco. Here's the website, check it out!!!! It is really good jerky, a little bit more pricey though. However, it's definately worth it. http://www.planojerky.com/ XOXO Dani Bonnie Thornton wrote: I love jerky, but aren't the nitrites in it bad for us?
