It is called guanciale and it is delicious. It is pretty much the opposite of Canadian bacon! Canadian bacon is super lean smoked/cured pork tenderloin.

Yes ... not at all similar to Canadian bacon. The difference between guanciale and pork jowl bacon is that guanciale isn't smoked, while the bacon is.

My first attempt at pizza using a cauliflower crust was a success....I ate half of it and was super full. Will cut back on the toppings next time....used ground beef, canadian bacon, baby bella mushrooms, black olives, homemade pizza sauce and mixed Italian cheeses. Whole thing was 540 Calories, 44 grams Protein, 10.4 net carbs and 36 grams fat.

Thank you, I get all my knowledge from the food Network and did not know the smoking difference!

Why jowl bacon vs. regular? The fat percentage or something else? I've never even heard of pork jowl bacon before!

I love hearing how other people cook! I've never used pepper vinegar, either!

For me, it is more of a substitute for ham hocks, rather than bacon. I've never cooked it and eaten it on it's own. I have only used it to add flavor to dishes.

It has two benefits over bacon & ham hocks. It's sooo cheap. I don't remember the exact price, but well under $2/lb, maybe even like $1.29?? So that's a benefit over bacon. It's also possible to portion out into small portions, and doesn't take up as much room in a pot as a ham hock.

These are the ones I got, they are at Natural Grocers if you have that store there or you can order online. They are kept frozen.

Mix the following...

Last night's dinner: Shrimp Ceviche #yum

140 cals, 29g Protein, 8 net carbs. ATE IT ALL. Would have gone for seconds, but didn't want to risk it.

Can we drink caffeine tea? Some say yes and others say no.

Before in another life I would have said sure why not? It's just a little tea/coffee But now I'm adamant on following your team's instructions. If it's included/excluded, there's likely a beneficial reason that they personally know of despite debate

💜Good Luck💜

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
