Why would you have to quit your diet to have bacon?

Source: On diet, had bacon this morning.

for crying out loud, eat a piece of bacon! why make yourself miserable?

my husband made bacon ONCE without making me any. i told him if he ever did it again, id stop buying it altogether.

a piece or two really isn't all that bad.

Lol I get it! Pre diet, I felt like I had to beg hubby to go to a restaurant for a meal with me...now? He's been a bunch of times, ordered pizza for take out, as well as requests junk food every time to go to buy more produce (which is often!). It's sad hubby and i can't be on the same page at the same time but I'm doing this for me, and for me alone, so regardless of his choices, I've been able to stay on track Good luck!

2 slices of pan-fried bacon is like 100 calories. I get that people are concerned about the saturated fat in their diet, but unless you're eating a pack of bacon a day (or have pre-existing health concerns) you really don't need to worry. I eat a pretty high fat diet (and don't intentionally limit my saturated fats) and my triglycerides are fine.

Besides, it sounds like she made it for your son, not you. But if you are really seriously upset, have you tried talking to your wife? There are a bazillion threads on here with people claiming that their SO is trying to sabotage them, when all that is really happening is that the SO is just cooking, eating, and living their lives the way they always have, and the poster expects their SO to change their lifestyle because they did, or are trying to. And often the poster never made it clear to their SO that they now have different expectations. It really boils down to a lack of communication, and not expecting other people to change the way they eat or live just because you are. It can be a struggle, but it's also not fair to expect them to.

ETA: The first few weeks of changing your eating habits is often hard, but if you are really struggling with hunger that much, it might be time to reassess your intake and set a higher calorie goal with a smaller, more sustainable deficit. This whole process isn't going to work very well if what you're doing can't be maintained long-term.

Bacon is good. Eat it!

There is nothing wrong with bacon and no reason you can't make it fit into your allotment. I had some this morning.

Wait, so I can either have bacon, or succeed in losing weight? I've been doing this wrong!

Dump her

I eat bacon almost everyday when I have it around. Don't see the issue. Two pieces for me is less than 80 cal, have that with some eggs and it's a decent 300 calorie breakfast.

Went diet shopping after this and bought turkey bacon. What a let down, and 53 cals per slice. Also found bacon medallions at 33 cals a slice. I am in the UK where our bacon is a different cut with less fat and bacon medallions are just the part with a solid round of meat and zero fat! Result. Bacon is back on the menu

Yeah that's the same as Australian bacon. Love it. USA bacon is tasty in its own way (and great to wrap around stuff) but way fattier.
