A Leaner Way To Love Bacon
Ironically, most traditional low-carb diets encourage followers to eat all the bacon they want. But it's important to remember an ounce of fat actually has 30 milligrams of cholesterol. The issue with bacon is that as a food high in saturated fat, it contributes to an increased risk for heart disease and stroke. Bacon is also considered a processed meat, which has been linked to prostate cancer, as well as other cancers. That doesn't mean your morning has to be deplete of meat. Try Canadian bacon as a healthier, diet-friendly option. This ham-like protein will go perfect with an over-easy egg, a slice of cheese and an English muffin. Two slices of Kirkland Canadian Bacon are just 30 calories and 1 gram of fat, not to mention 0 grams of saturated fat. Lean ham is also a healthy option that makes for a smart substitute.
