it's good for clogging your arteries.

even when bulking you should eat clean, healthy foods, just higher calories, e.g. more protein, carbs & fats.

Well if you get the better quality bacon and don't over do it.I say it's fine bro

**J'Bo** · 05-26-2003, 09:42 PM

well i used to eat bacon everyonce in a while and i am sure it wont kill you....in the long run it may.

stick to the healthy foods though...it will make cutting alot easier.

**MeanCuts** · 05-26-2003, 10:19 PM

Well i'm on a bulk also and i'm gonna go eat a bowl of chili and a glass of milk before bed and I know there some kind of bad fat in it and I don't care

**Prince** · 05-26-2003, 10:28 PM

why bulk right before summer?

I realize you live in Cali, but still I know it gets a little hotter there in the summer and cooler in the winter, right?

**MeanCuts** · 05-26-2003, 10:30 PM

I don't know honestly just got a hair up my ass~lol~

BAD - Its a processed crap food that just pure fat. No real good nutritional value in it. Everyone has already said bacon is not a good food choice.

**Fit Freak** · 05-27-2003, 03:38 AM

The key thing here to remember that bulking should not be an excuse to eat like a pig...shitty foods I mean...you should eat pretty much the same foods you would on a cut...just more of it!

That's simply not true.
And not all bacon is created equal.

There's bacon that has more meat and less fat,that I know.Maybe those pigs workout

**Jodi** · 05-27-2003, 10:38 AM

Its still a processed meat with alot of sodium. Please tell me whats so good about it?

**MeanCuts** · 05-27-2003, 10:53 AM

Protein

**J'Bo** · 05-27-2003, 10:54 AM

the only good thing about it is that it tastes good...with syrup

**MeanCuts** · 05-27-2003, 10:56 AM

Sorry can't convince with "Protein"

Its a procesessed meat. So the protein is not worth it. There are much better choices of Protein than bacon so to me there is absolutely nothing good about bacon, while cutting or bulking.

**MeanCuts** · 05-27-2003, 11:05 AM

Doesn't matter if it's "worth it" to you,you're not eating it.That dude can eat bacon(esp if it's good quality) a couple times a week and it won't hurt a bit as long as he eats a solid diet otherwise.JMO

**Jodi** · 05-27-2003, 11:10 AM

I would have to disagree with that from what I've been reading.

Bringing home the bacon just got a little dicier. (Health update).(effects of processed foods on risk for type 2 diabetes)(Brief Article)
Author/s:
Issue: June, 2002

Men who frequently eat processed meats have a substantially greater chance of developing type 2 diabetes, according to researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston in association with the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in the Netherlands.

The investigators analyzed the dietary habits of 42,000 healthy men over 12 years and found that subjects who ate such foods as bacon, bologna, frankfurters, salami or sausage two to four times per week had a 35 percent increased risk. Those who indulged their meat tooth five times or more per week had a 46 percent increased risk.

"The effect is dose-related," explains senior author Frank Hu, M.D. "The more you eat of these foods, the higher the risk."

The findings, published in the journal Diabetes Care, were adjusted for diabetes-linked conditions and activities such as smoking, obesity and exercise. The results were also adjusted for, but could not entirely rule out, an overall "unhealthy dietary pattern" that includes high-fat condiments and side dishes such as mayonnaise, potato chips and french fries.

While Hu believes additional research is necessary, he points out that consumption of processed meat, but not of other meats, was positively associated with risk of type 2 diabetes in the Nurse's Health Study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

"We're not proposing to ban hot he says. "It's just a matter of moderation. People should reduce the frequency of eating processed meats." About 15 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, in which an insulin shortage or insensitivity leads to excess sugar in the blood. Diabetes can cause severe problems of the kidneys, eyes and circulatory system.

Last year, a massive study presented at the European Conference on Nutrition and Cancer linked processed meats to a half-again higher risk of colorectal cancer, while re-establishing the protective attributes of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Other cancer studies haven't distinguished between fresh and processed meat.

10 SECOND TIP

Processed meats are loaded with fat. A three-ounce, boiled pork-and-beef frankfurter has 270 calories and 25 grams of fat compared with 119 calories and one gram of fat in three ounces of fresh turkey breast.

**MeanCuts** · 05-27-2003, 11:20 AM

You believe everything you read?If so i'm sure you can find plenty of propaganda to bash every meat as well as milk.So if you believe it then maybe you should try a vegetarian diet if you haven't all ready.

**Jodi** · 05-27-2003, 11:25 AM

No I don't believe everything I read but I've yet to find anything good to read about Bacon.

**MeanCuts** · 05-27-2003, 11:35 AM

I hear what your saying but do you hear what i'm saying?
Your article reflects someone bashing "the fast food culture"
If you eat a solid diet and don't overdue it you'll be fine.
I basically told him yes and no;that yes you can eat bacon but with those conditions
