What happens if you eat nothing but bacon for 30 days straight?
Or, perhaps, it’s not that crazy. Dan Quibell tried it and enjoyed it… and even lost 20 pounds:
Ketogasm: What Happens When You Eat Nothing But Bacon for 30 Days Straight?
Now there’s an active Facebook group with 3,000 members dedicated to discussing the Bacon experiment and trying it themselves.
Facebook: The Bacon Experiment
Obviously eating nothing but bacon results in an extremely low carb, ketogenic diet. It should result in significant loss of excess weight, without weighing or counting. And if you’re crazy enough it should be fine to try it for a month.
Note: If you are on diabetes medication, especially insulin, you’ll have to adapt (lower) the doses so discuss it with your doctor first.

This website and its doctors do a lot of research regarding keto and lchf all with perfectly verifiable results.
And still people come here claiming that it does not work.
Actually after its cooked the calories are more like 1200-1500 so we are in a caloric deficit and this is why we burn bodyfat during the bacon experiment. Its not magical its just a very powerful dietary intervention. Hunger control and caloric deficit and intermittent fasting.
Generally speaking the nitrates in bacon are not an issue.

Most bacon will have sugar listed in the ingredients as it is used in the curing process. Look at the nutrition label and most bacon with 0g carbs per serving will be OK.
No salt, no sugar, no preservatives, and it tastes amazing!!!
Generally speaking yes!
Eating bacon and eggs would not be considered fasting, but could be part of a keto diet.
Plus, I have a hard time chowing down on a pile of bacon if I can’t at least pretend it’s in a bacon & tomato sandwich. Let me know if all hope is lost.
This article is more covering an experiment that someone else did, not a recommendation to literally eat nothing but bacon for 30 days. The science behind keto is about keeping carbs low. You can utilize any of our recipes or meal plans to see success.

If you need to count, count total carbs.
