Pork Rinds Question

[Lose to Live]

I'm on day 11 of a clean induction, and VERY happy to be down 13 lbs. I'm even wearing a shirt I couldn't get into since LAST summer!

I've spent alot of time this morning looking over Linda's Recipe site so that I can add in some more variation, especially with OWL beginning in a couple of days.

I'm seeing the use of ground pork rinds in several of her "Induction Friendly" recipes. Is there a certain brand/kind that I should look for? Any reason NOT to used them? I certainly don't want to do anything to sabotage myself!

This forum is SO much help! Thanks!

Re: Pork Rinds Question

Shouldnt be too much of a difference, but always read labels just in case.

Usually they only have pork and salt, but sometimes they can have chilli powder or whatever flavor you want.

You want to avoid anything with sugar, so the cinnamon twist ones are out but you can make your own variation of them with cinnamon and splenda on plain pork rinds

Re: Pork Rinds Question

Here in Canada they sell barbQ pork rinds that have a higher carb count. Just make sure you go for the plain ones and read the labels.
I just dipped a pork rind in Peanut butter for a quick snack... not induction friendly, but it was a great little pick me up...

Good luck

Pork Rinds are great. Also, make some dip for them using mayo and dill. Chips & dip on a diet. Cool!

Re: Pork Rinds Question

I forgot to mention Lose to Live just watch the intake of the pork rinds, they do contain a lot of salt so it may make you retaine watter. Have fun!

Kroger has them for under $2/bag, but some have maltodextrose so read the label and make sure it's just oil and pork. Ground up and mixed with parmesean they are by far the best 'breading' for frying I've found.

I'm so glad I don't like cinnamon flavored pork rinds. I LOVE the spicy and the regular kind.

Re: Pork Rinds Question

Golden Flake (which may be a southern regional brand) makes a pretty good pork rind, and their BBQ flavor is good, albeit a little (!) salty. A mitt full of those washed down with a Diet Rite is a nice treat, now and again The plain ones are good with a little dip of salsa and sour cream (very little) ... *slurp*

Pork rind "natchos" sounds awesome. I'm going to pick some up later today.
