Angry Sugar in Bacon!!

I am on day 4 of induction and I have been very careful-so I thought- recording on FITDAY every oz. of everything I consume, including water and any seasonings. For breakfast I have been having bacon and eggs. Today, I looked on the package and saw the bacon had been "brined?" in sugar. SUGAR!!! MY ENEMY SUGAR!!! I am sure for the veteran Atkineers, this is old news, but really, I had NO IDEA!!! I assumed the bacon would have referred to the sugar content if that was going to be an ingredient. You know, " Sugar Cured Bacon", or something like that!! Nope.
I am bummed out by this as I have worked so hard this week to do Induction the right way, and subsequently break my sugar obsession. I have lost 6lbs so far, so I am not complaining about the results, but I wonder what could have been if I had checked the labels more closely....
Anyways, for those of you who do not know... Please check the labels. Sugar lurks everywhere!

Don't feel bad, the same thing happened to me. I did manage to find bacon without any added sugar in it at my local meat market, thank goodness. But it also taught me a valuable lesson: Read EVERY label EVERY time! Don't let it get you down! Your doing great! Keep it up!

Most deli meats are cured with sugar, not only bacon. There was a thread a while ago, where people were posting the names of different SF brands. If you are in the US, maybe this helps you:

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!"
