lol i wish, but no chance sorry.xx

 

[soolaboola]

err no,fraid not .have a pack of my hubbys here and yes they have no carbs but and heres the but ,it is pork fat ,and per 100g they have 650 cals (eek) and wait for it are you ready really ready 52.2 grams of fat and 18.8 grams of that is killer fat nasty naughty saturates,so get the thought out of your head and i wish your friend all the luck in the world. lol.......as for ketosis i would think you would come out of it because your bodys not going to burn its own fat if its got 52.2 of pork fat to be going on with.

Nope, too much fat and salt, and nto good to stray off plan.

Are they not just hard peices of fat? ewww thing's like that should be banished!

 

[abz]

i tried them when i was low-carbing. i thought they were totally gross. i really wanted to like them for something to crunch but they just made me feel really really sick...
