Bacon has fat, but how much of it goes into your mouth depends on how you cook it. The problem is not the fat, but the sodium found in these processed meats.
I forgot to say this last time, but did you check the ingredients in them? Sausages sometimes have fillers that are not 'legal' in Induction. The bacon could be cured with sugar. Quote: |

You see, it's not an exact science, so it's impossible to know whether eating a cup of lettuce and one of mushrooms instead of two cups of lettuce will help you to lose more weight or to lose it faster. But if you really love lettuce, you will have to limit other carbohydrate-containing foods (eggs, dressing, heavy cream, etc.) in order to get over half of your total net carbs from vegetables.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
