Turkey Bacon Yes No



Recommended Posts

Here in NZ we really only eat turkey at Christmas. We do have chicken bacon though which is pretty much the same thing.

Yes I have noticed here people talk about it a lot! But it is uncommon here and good quality, free range turkeys are very expensive. It is possible to get turkey outside of Christmas season but it costs!

Okay I have just been reading about the nutritional benefits of turkey. I may have to track down a local supplier!

https://godshalls.com/store/item.aspx?itemid=362 chicken bacon for the USA market. Looks a bit different to what we have here (http://www.tegel.co.nz/products/Chilled-ready-to-eat/Original-Manuka-Smoked-Chicken-Bacon-200g?c=3&p=154) but must be the same sort of thing.

And I found you some roasted chick peas too http://nuts.com/snacks/chickpeas/golden.html

Have wild turkeys passing through my property sometimes. I think they would be tough, though

Free range turkeys here are super expensive too. We call them heirloom turkeys. A 10kg heirloom could cost $150+ compared to a mass marketed turkey going for around $18-25. (turkeys get pretty cheap around the holidays here.

I used to only feed roo to the dogs until I realized how high in Protein and low in fat it was. It's amazing. Great in pies. The closest thing to compare it to would be venison, I think.

I never would have guessed, but I suppose they are plentiful.

As far as I'm aware, we are the only country that has no issue with eating the animals on the national coat of arms. The kangaroo and the emu. Lol. Something to be proud of.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
