I've had exactly one slice of bread in the last month. I don't even miss it anymore. And I've taken off 20 pounds.

Pork rinds are cheap, and I have one or two at different times during the day. But I have to share them with the dogs.

You can also run them through the blender and make a no-carb breading mix. I had some nice cod filets that I dredged in egg, and pork rinds, and fried them in coconut oil. Delicious!
