Bacon gets a bad rap. I understand why your physician would tell you not to eat bacon(he was lied to too). Over half of its calories come from fat, saturated fat at that. Along with a high carb diet you could cause some health problems due to the fact that your body will not be using it for energy like it should. So we ask our self. Self...
Saturated fat is bad right?
It causes heart disease and cancers?
Who told me that, I feel like I have just always known?
Show me some proof that that these are true and I will show you 2 million years of high saturated fat diets(many present today) that would be happy to debate the topic. They say saturated fat is bad but around half the fat in our body is made of this so called scary stuff. Not to mention its filled with necessary vitamins like K2, D, A and more, so how bad can it really be?
Long story short,
if you do not have a high carb diet, your body will use the fat for energy like it is meant to!
