Poll of the Day > What would happen if you ate only bacon for a month?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm not saying you eat a ton of it, but what if you like ate 1/2 a pound of bacon every day (split over 2-3 meals) for a month.

Would you die?

Would you become a pig (Two feet bad, four feet good).

Would you obtain psionic powers (much like being vegan but the reverse?

I must know these things.

sodium levels would probably go up a bit

You'd probably get sick of bacon.

This is assuming you're taking pills to supplement your body's need for vitamins and nutrients.

Obviously talk to your doctor before you try it, though.

A half pound of bacon is just shy of 1000 kcal (80g fat and 30g protein). That's a severe caloric deficit and not enough protein. You'd probably want the full pound per day.

You would rapidly enter ketosis on this diet. The amount of sodium is probably fine while on a ketogenic diet, and would prevent the sluggish feeling often associated with consuming too little sodium while entering ketosis.

You would lose a significant percent of body weight (~5%) in the first week or so, as your body depletes glycogen and associated water weight.

You would be deficient for plenty of micronutrients unless supplementing them.

You would be consuming zero fiber and would have very infrequent bowel movements.

You would probably experience an improvement of your HDL to LDL ratio. You may or may not experience higher total cholesterol or triglycerides.

If you have epilepsy, you would probably experience lower incidence of seizures.

Cool, actually that all sounds kinda good. I do like bacon, but I couldn't really do that, but....I gues maybe having it every so often isn't as bad as I thought!

you would feel really good all the time

Bacon itself? Hard to tell.

My wife's grandmother was a bacon fiend since the 50's (Southern lady). She cooked / ate bacon about every other day, saved the grease and nearly everything she cooked was in the bacon grease. She lived to 101. We used to joke that her arteries were coated in grease so nothing could stick to them.

She was also very active, however, which was probably what contributed to her longevity. She drove until she was 95, and planted/maintained a garden every year until about that time as well.
