Pork Rinds are not only good as a snack, they are used in many LC
recipies as "breading" on fried foods.

But, be careful. I did a month of Induction and lost 20 pounds eating
meat, cheese, and lettuce (almost exclusively). To my surprise, I
just wasn't interested in snacking. Then I discovered pork rinds,
which seem like they would be legal for Induction. Now I have gone
back to my snacking ways. If I buy them at the grocery near my job I
can go through almost a whole bag during the 40-minute car ride home.
I get them, after eating a meal, and munch right through them while
I'm watching tv. They have really screwed up my dieting rhythm,
adding hundreds of calories to otherwise great days. I know I have to
just quit buying them.

Anyways, forewarned is forarmed.

This very same thing is happening to me. Oh no.
