Its official :( My cardiologist says "No bacon"

He said I need to eat a "Mediterranean diet". So, I'm thinking Prosciutto.

1. You needed a doctor to tell you no bacon?

I'd have thought a picture of Elvis would have been enough. :rofl:

You could always try some of the fake bacons. They don't taste like bacon on their own, but they are decent substitutes on BLTs or in other dishes. Then again, I'm vegetarian, so I don't remember what the real stuff tastes like. :)

2. everyone has a cross to bear

I can eat bacon, but I can't eat:

bread
pasta
rice
potatoes
cereals
sweets
cornmeal
other carbs

I miss toast an awful lot.

3. am looking for loopholes LOL

I mean it's not like I eat bacon every day ... well, ok at least not every minute of every day.
I'll manage.

4. Try canadian bacon instead.

Lower in fat, just as meaty, comes from the same animal.

5. i used to have a bacon problem but my blood pressure was way up, no more swine for me.

i really thought i'd miss bacon but strangely enough after 9 months without it i just don't crave it anymore.
