anyone tried new grilled chicken from Kfc

[TanaLee]

I had some (a single breast and cole slaw) the other night. I thought it was really good. I'm new to this. I hope the cole slaw was okay. Probably not.

the chicken is coated with chemicals I choose not to put into my body:
KFC® Grilled Chicken Fresh Chicken Marinated with:

Salt, Sodium Phosphate, and Monosodium Glutamate Seasoned with: Maltodextrin, Salt, Bleached Wheat Flour, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Oil, Monosodium Glutamate, Spices, Palm Oil, Natural Flavor, Garlic Powder, Soy Sauce (Soybean, Wheat, Salt), Chicken Fat, Chicken Broth, Autolyzed Yeast, Beef Powder, Rendered Beef Fat, Extractives of Turmeric, Dehydrated Carrot, Onion Powder, and Not More Than 2% Each of Calcium Silicate and Silicon Dioxide Added as Anticaking Agents. Contains Wheat and Soy.

The cole slaw is not allowed on Induction or after -- it's made with sugar. Carrots are also not allowed until Rung 9 so unless you make your own cole slaw it's best to keep away from KFC's.

I somehow knew the cole slaw was a no no. Thanks for the information Carol. I don't know anything about "rungs". I guess I'd better buy the book. I'm kind of winging it right now. I had some one tell me about Atkins. What I was told was I can eat meat, cheese, eggs and salad. No bread, pasta, sugar, potatos, rice, etc....Tana

Oh, Carol, I just went back and read the ingredients in the KFC chicken. YUCK!!

TanaLee -- I agree....yuck!

It’s a good idea to get a copy of the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) the book we use for reference on this site. Until you can get a copy of the book check the stickies (information posts) at the top of the induction page - (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html – it’s a condensed version of everything you’ll need to know. Even through the stickies are a good start they don’t detail the entire program, so that’s why we suggest you have the book to follow.

If you need any help let me know.

Thanks, Carole. It looks like you are well on your way to attaining your goal...Tana

I tried the grilled KFC when it first came out. I liked the legs best, then the thighs. Breast meat was kind of dry and the wings should be given away free they are so tiny. In fact all of the pieces were small which was fine by me...made me realize how much breading goes on the regular fried chicken though.

It was a one time thing for me. The sides at KFC are mainly starches. Does anyone really have potatoes AND a biscuit? Anyways, the green beans I got for a side had no flavor whatsoever. None! Think: canned green beans that you boiled in water all day. Yuck.

The biggest turnoff was all the chemicals used. Too bad...it was tasty.

I really like the grilled chicken..and I love to be a patron for a low carb product..I know I am only one customer..but in my heart I feel the more purchases of a low carb product I make the more a company or my friends/family will be more inclined to purchase and introduce low carb products.
i.e. I am praying that popeye's also creates a low carb produce because popeye's is so much closer to my home ...walking distance even!!!!!

I agree with you about supporting companies that recognize the market for low-carb -- I have written e-mails to various companies to thank them for their products (couldn't live without Heinz' reduced sugar ketchup). I'm wondering if you read Carole's post above with the ingredient list for this chicken? Some of the ingredients could kick in cravings or create a stall, depending upon the individual. If I have to choose fast food, I'd rather go with a bunless burger.

yes, i did see that..sounds bad...thanks for the precaution..
i checked their website..it said 0 carbs.. but who knows.
on this way of life...i admit i take a lot wrong turns..miller lite especially ...beer and alcohol is not allowed..(i had a pina colada saturday...)

but i try to be a good boy overall..
