Why is Bacon on the Hauser Diet?

We understand why some may think that bacon is bad. With all the information bombarding us about how unhealthy certain fats are, it’s easy to get in that mind set. Bacon is an animal fat, and if you purchase organic, nitrate free bacon, it’s a natural food. It’s no different than eating any other meat; we just have to consider it a fat instead of protein because a greater percentage of the calories come from fat as compared to protein.

As long as you stay within your limit of fat intake (depending on which Hauser Diet you are suppose to follow) you should get visions of clogged arteries every time you put some bacon on your spinach salad, or have a hearty egg and bacon breakfast.

So, "do I have to eat bacon on this diet?" We get questions like this all the time. During Diet Typing, we give people a list of sample foods for each food category. The key word here is "sample" list. It does not mean that the foods on the list are the only foods included.

We understand that many other diets are this restrictive, but the Hauser Diet is made for the real world. My Hauser Diet plan just tells me how much I should have, if I choose to do so. This does not mean that you have to eat bacon because it’s on the list of fats. You don’t have to eat bacon if you do not want to. Use your common sense. If you prefer to get your fat from other sources, such as avocado or olive oil, that is just fine!
