Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / April 2005Question about "Frito-Lay Baken-Ets"
... in particular the "Hot 'N' Spicy Brand". Here's a link to the nutritional info.... Is this an (Atkins) induction-friendly food or not? It's at least got to be considered to be very low-carb. I had a snack bag with lunch and two after dinner yesterday, and I'm living in fear I violated the induction rules. Note in particular the ingredients list (e.g., dextrose and maltodextrin, which I didn't notice at first). > ... in particular the "Hot 'N' Spicy Brand". Here's a link to the > nutritional info....

Looks lo-carb to me http://www.fritolay.com/fl/flstore/cgi-bin/Nutrition_ProdID_4092.htm If you don't see any results, quit eating them. Your body will let you know if the dextrose and maltodextrin are hindering your weight-loss. I'm sure some people *can't* eat them. You probably should fear the yellow dye they add more than anything.j/k JMHO :: ... in particular the "Hot 'N' Spicy Brand". Here's a link to the :: nutritional info....

Note in particular the ingredients list (e.g., :: dextrose and maltodextrin, which I didn't notice at first). they are flavored pork rinds....they have quite a bit of "other" stuff in them, but I don't think they are harmful for induction. The small amount of carbs come from the Maltodextrin & dextrose (commonly found in AS). I'd avoid them due to the MSG, however, as I'm sensitive to it. Regular rinds will just have rinds and salt. I wouldn't worry too much about it if you don't mind the MSG...but you can do better in terms of rinds... > ... in particular the "Hot 'N' Spicy Brand". Here's a link to the > nutritional info....

If you don't mind me noticing, you still have a love affair with the chips an' things of that type of foods. And I understand. You are so early into this that it is possible to un focus off of those and seriously consider eating just the right induction type foods. Try and replace those needs. -- Perdu >>... in particular the "Hot 'N' Spicy Brand". Here's a link to the >>nutritional info....

Well, I *do* have a love affair with chips. I think it was a reasonable point. Look, my getting into this low-carb thing is all about breaking bad habits. One thing that's packed on the weight for me over the past year is my candy-bar stress-eating. But that's a recent habit, and one I think which will be fairly easy to break. Chips, however, are another matter. Frito Lay has been my nemesis. Doritos. Eeeevil. I think I'll give them a hiatus for the time being. > > On 28 Apr 2005 06:10:36 -0700, "SzaszFan" <szasz@my-deja.com> said : > >>... in particular the "Hot 'N' Spicy Brand".

WOW, some > of you people are *scary* sometimes with all the analyzing. Good suggestion! I hadn't thought of it that way. All right, I'll leave off the Baken-Ets. I just did a shopping trip today. Bought celery, fresh basil, mushrooms, some steak, some zero-carb, zero-calorie dressing, sauerkraut, sardines, eggs, and mozarella cheese. That actually sounds like a pretty healthy spread, doesn't it? > > ... in particular the "Hot 'N' Spicy Brand". Here's a link to the > > nutritional info.... [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Perdu Good for you! My problem with chips and their ilk isn't necessarily what's in them, it's the niche they fill, that brainless munching when you aren't even hungry. Better not to do that at all, even if the chip or chiplike substance is low-carb. > Good suggestion! I hadn't thought of it that way. > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > > Perdu > Good for you!

When your mouth begs for something you can't have, grab a piece of strong cheese or the like and sit, and savor it. It is caloric. Lesser of the evils in my opinion. -- Perdu > Good suggestion!

Yeah, it sounds GREAT except for the zero-calorie dressing. You have to wonder about ingredients of a salad dressing that has NO calories -- clearly it's not oil-based. Not that you HAVE to use oil in salad dressing. I like to use guacamole, alfredo sauce or punjab spinach sauce (Trader Joe's) for dressing, myself (well, mostly I use the punjab sauce when I choose to stir-fry the salad instead of having it cold).  SignatureSaffire 205/141/125 - 5'1.5" Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 I'll post the brand and the ingredients in the dressing later tonight. I studied it closely for any sugars (none except sucralose). It was a little franken-foody but I kind of wanted something different than oil and vinagrette that night. > > Good suggestion!

That sounds much like my own shopping basket. Get a bowl and fill it with quartered mushrooms, and celery chunks. Portabellas are incredible like this. I also like asparagus. Add a handful of mozzarella. Drizzle good olive oil on top, and red wine vinegar. Mix. Let it stand, if you can, for a couple minutes. Add a can of sardines on top. Low carb heaven. -- Perdu |
