I know they are higher in fat than wheat thins but would pork rinds be a good snack for a sleever? Not in the beginning of course. I believe they are high in protein and low in carbs.

As a former Atkins dieter, I loved pork rinds for snacks. They have some crunch without the carbs. At 3½ months out I'm still scared to try them. Before surgergy they were something that you always wanted to have something to drink close by incase they got stuck in your throat......maybe in a couple of months I'll give them a try. That being said, everyone is different. Good luck.

Seems like it might be a slider food to me.

I am just over 12 weeks out and tried pork rinds for the first time this week. No problems going down whatsoever. I needed something different. I think calorie, carb, and protein wise, they are better than any cracker or bread based snack because they have zero carbs and zero sugar, and relatively low calories per serving. Also, you can have them with a reduced fat ranch dip, or mashed up avacado and tomatoes, or even humus. Everyone has their own WL plan, and I choose to stay away from bread, crackers, and chips in general. I only allowed myself the rinds because of the no carb, no sugar, high protein ratio. My only problem was that they tasted so good, I ate them several times a day. If you can limit it, then it's a good alternative to crackers, as most are very hign in calories and carbs. But that's just my two cents.

I am a little over 3 months out and I eat them for a snack. They do not bother me at all. I only eat maybe 2-3 rinds every other day when I want something crunchy and tasty. I eat the BBQ flavored ones too.

I love pork rinds, I eat them when I crave chips. I have not had a problem with them at all.

How about a healthy high fiber/ low calorie cracker? I love the fiber rich bran crispbread with sunflower seeds. They have 50 calories for two, 3g protein, 5 g net carb with 7 g fiber. They are delicious with anything: peanut butter, laughing cow cheese the list can go on.

Pork rinds don't have to be unhealthy. I read about these, never tried them but they are lower in fat that store brands. http://www.microwaveporkrinds.com/nutrition.asp

My bestie bought those microwave pork rinds and gave me a pack. They smell awful when cooking but they are delightful!!! Soo good.

It was hilarious actually I put the plate in front of my mom and she turned her nose up and grimaced like a toddler. After i convinced her to taste it though she wanted the whole plate! I totally recommend those little suckers.

I buy the Mac's brand from Wally World nice combo of crunch and airy chunks go down with no problem. No food value just a filler type slider food.

I read that pork rinds make a good breading for meats. Just grind them up and go
