Hi again all
Downunder, we have streaky bacon rashers (with plenty of white fat) and lean bacon (the major section without the rasher commonly called Canadian bacon in the U.S) and it's cheap and I love it, medium fried especially with a well done egg in a toasted sandwich. Those days are gone or at least that's what I thought. I've seen SOOOO many sites that say it's good, it's evil / bad, it has to be balanced if it MUST be eaten ... blah blah blah.
I know you guys in the UK love your cooked breakfasts (who wouldn't in your winters ) and so many people post here suggest it's fine and doesn't play up with your BS readings and balances out the carbo intakes.
I can take dropping the bread (and ****, do I miss a good sourdough or what !!) so I'd like to get to know if it's OK maybe three times a week with an avocado .... and yes, I know I must test to see the effects .... but I'd love to hear from those who just think it's a "no no" just as much as I would from those you reckon it works for them.
My wife is working her proverbial off trying to work out what I should and should not eat, counting calories, carbs, my readings etc etc and I'd love to give her a break from this as this is my problem far more than hers. I love her for it and though I reckon I've got lunch and dinner (more or less) worked out, the first meal of the day should set me up for the rest.
All the best to you all
Mike
