  • If you are following a ketogenic diet (keto), you need to restrict your daily carbohydrate intake so that your body enters ketosis.

    For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day.

    Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs.

    Example:
    A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Math equation: 26 - 9 = 17

    IMPORTANT: Net carbs are per serving. Make sure you know your serving size or else you may go over your planned intake and exit ketosis.
  • This product contains one or more of the following:
    - Sodium nitrite
    - Sodium nitrate
    - celery powder
    - celery juice

    Sodium nitrite and its closely related sodium nitrate are food preservatives used primarily in prepared meat and fish such as ham, bacon, hot dogs, corned beef (spam), luncheon meats, and smoked fish. They help the meat look nice and red instead of grayish.

    Unfortunately, when cooked or broken down in the stomach, nitrites form nitrosamines (also called N-Nitroso Compound), which can cause cancer in young children and pregnant women.

  • Americans consume 4000 mg of sodium daily when the maximum recommended amount is 2300mg for healthy adults. Many people should not exceed 1500mg. Most of the sodium (65%) in our diet comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker. Excess sodium intake increases blood pressure, causes hypertension and other heart problems. That’s why most of us need to cut back.

    The fewer points - the better.
  • Lunch/deli meats come in different levels of quality. Some are more processed than others. Some have more fat than others. Some are better cuts of meat than others. And some contain nitrites, which you really gotta watch out for.

    The commonality between all lunch meats is the large amount of salt they contain. As a simple example, 3 oz of sliced turkey contains 1000 mg of sodium!! That’s almost half the recommended daily intake!

    Even our top rated product in this category still does not meet the recommended amount of sodium a product should contain (less than 120mg per 3 oz).

    Our advice? If you really can’t live without your turkey on rye sandwich, try to have these meats in small amounts and and stick to the lower fat, less processed versions.
