I'm flipping channels as I look over msgs and come across an "Infomercial" for Ronco Rotissery....and they're talking low-carb! LOL People in the audience saying how much they've lost by following the "Rotisserie diet". The host then cam on, talking to his co-host, and said to the effect that following LC means increasing protein and cutting carbs.....THEN INCREASING CARBS GRADUALLY AS YOUR WEIGHT NORMALIZES!

Sounds to me like this guy at least did some research on LC before talking about it.

Of course, they then went on to talk about how the thing works, and included some not so low carb side items. But....they're prompting low-carb and high protein!

And so far, BACON IS NEVER MENTIONED!

OK, I'm gonna confess.....I watched the entire show.

They talked about cooking roast beef, roast turkey, baby back ribs, sausage and hot dogs, roast pork, several kinds of fish, meat and veggie kabobs....BUT NO MENTION OF BACON! LOL

I'm sure it's just because of fire potential with the drippings....but still, promoting LC high protein without mention of bacon is quite nice for a change!

Now I know we've arrived!

The sad thing is that Atkins spent 30 years promoting low-carb, but Ron Popiel will probably reach more people with a Saturday-afternoon infomercial.

Now, how much would you pay?

But wait, there's more!

oh how true Nick!

I have to admit, it's a good thing I'm broke! Or I might have given in and ordered one!

I bought the Popiel rotisserie and love it. I make LC chicken, turkey, pork and beef roasts all the time in it just rubbing the outside with salt, pepper and other herbs and spices. It's also nice to have the left overs for lunches, snacks, etc. and my family doesn't know that they are eating something low carb.

I love my rotisserie too! I make chickens a few times a month and I have made ribs and steaks. I am going to try a turkey for Thanksgiving. Wish me luck!

Cara - just be careful that you select a turkey that will not be too big for the oven. I usually stick with the turkey breasts without the legs and look for turkeys that are longer rather than wider. You might want to do a practice one before the big day just to be sure that you know how big of a turkey you can fit in your oven. I have the "professional" model and it holds about a 7-10 pound bone-in breast pretty well.

Yes, Nick--you get your next post on this forum for only 3 easy payments of.....VOICEOVER ANNOUNCER interrupts: Wait, now it's only 2 easy payments of......



Actually, I have had one of Ron's magic machines for a couple of years and I have to say it's one of the few products I would actually do a commercial for! That, and George Forman's little grill!

ahhhhhhh infomercials!
