Low carbohydrate menu planning is one of the most popular ways in America to lose weight and keep it off.
There is a lot of controversy about which of the diet methods is better, low carb, low fat or in between, with many health care professionals maintaining that balance is the key. I tend to agree with the "in between", with a little leaning towards the lower carb side of things, especially when it comes to eating processed carbohydrates.
Snacking on carb laden foods can set you up to crave more and more carbs as the day wears on, leaving you feeling heavy and run down. I've found that if I snack on protein, whether it's a ham and cheese roll-up, boiled egg or handful of almonds, I get that much needed energy surge that lasts through the afternoon, without that fall-out you will experience after eating sugar.
I'm always on the lookout for new high protein, low carb snacks to try and so, when Rudolph's Food Company offered to send samples of their pork rinds, I was up for the challenge.
I received a variety box of snack pack size pork rinds, in four different flavors; who knew these delicacies came in flavors? My family happened to be here when they came, so I passed them out. Here is a bit about them.
The Rudolph Foods Company family business was first started in 1955, when John Rudolph would purchase his bacon rinds already smoked. Two years into his business, the meat industry quit smoking the rinds on bacon, and Mr. Rudoph was up against his first business challenge.
John's wife Mary, with her home economics background in tow, went to work testing pork rind cooking methods until she perfected the taste and texture, inventing the two-step method still used today by the company.
In fact, the perfection of Rudolph's pork rinds was tested in a "blind label" testing in four cities across the country, naming Rudolph's as the preferred pork rind producers because of taste and appealing crispness.
The pork rinds come in Original, Bar-B-Q, Salt & Vinegar and Hot & Spicy, with 80 calories per serving, 4.5 to 5 grams of fat (almost all unsaturated), 8 grams protein and 0 carbohydrates.
