Pickles??

Foamroller

Pickles are good in moderation. Vinegar slows down high glycemic foods and the sugar spike. There's a reason why apple cider vinegar is an ingredient in many "diet pills".

I have my pickles with a very good conscience. Sodium is not bad unless you have medical condition. If you do lots of cardio with massive sweating, you probably need more salt.

Just because someone else can't eat something, is not auto bad for YOUR body too...

Common sense, guys

I must have missed something, I did not see where any body said not to eat pickles.

I love pickles and eat a lot of them. Be careful though, they are one of the victims of the FDA's ruling that where a serve of food has less than 5 calories, the label is allowed to say it has 0 calories.

Pickles are not 0 calories. They are cucumbers, and cucumbers are not 0 calories, and pickling them doesn't take the calories away. It's just that the "serving size" is small enough to be sub-5 cal, so they can put 0 calories. You won't blow your calories out of the water eating a jar of pickles, same way you wouldn't if you are a bushel of cucumbers, but they aren't 0 calories

I love pickles too. For a lower sodium kind I tend to eat the no sugar added splenda sweet gerkins.

I snack on pickles sometimes. Low calorie, so I usually don't even count them. Unless I'm watching sodium, too.

Be careful about that. They can be heavy in the sodium, and that adds up really fast. In my experience, it has led to bloating in the past, too. As I am addicted to pickles and could easily eat a jar a day if you let me.

So I'm doing this low cal thing and I'm wondering if pickles are a good option. They have like no calories (0-8) depending on the pickle. I love pickles but I'm not sure how nutritious they are...I mean it's a veggie right?

help. no hate please

Check the labels--pickles (and some cheeses) are made with brine, which is usually loaded with sodium.

But do they fill you up????

Pickles don't fill me up, but I find them to be a great snack. Although, I have to reevaluate how often I eat them now. The information provided here makes me think I'm eating more than my fair share.
