As far as I know, no one's ever checked, but I doubt it. I don't think fermentation really destroys as many carbs as you might think. If it did, the sauerkraut would probably become an unappetizing liquidy mush.

That may be so, but the steaks I can get here are trimmed within an inch of their life (not literally - an inch would be great!), and they're too small anyway. Why would I pay $15-$20 a pound for that?

Okay, I will buy that. However, a serving size of an ounce is only going to have about 1 gram of carb anyway.

I am just too lazy to make all these sauces and stuff. Plus, if I buy a good cut of meat I like it better plain.

Yes, I do. I have to be SUPER careful with my diet. I am strict because I know how easily I could slip back into the world of bulimia. All I need is one craving and I am off to the races.
The problem with bulimia is, it is very time consuming. Food occupies your mind 24-7. How could I be a wife and mother if I am thinking about eating all the time?
There are other "problems" with being bulimic, lol, but the time factor is a big one.
So, I eat my meat plain! Take no chances.

I'm very cautious about sauce - when I eat out I ask for my steak plain. But at home I know exactly what's in the sauce and it doesn't seem to cause any problems. Usually my sauce has nothing but pan drippings (including salt and pepper), chicken stock, and lard.

I am doing 0 carb, or at least aiming for it. Meats and chicken but sometimes I will have cheese thats got minimal (less than 1 gram each) but they add up.

Id say Im definitely under 5, 10 at the absolute most on a ''bad'' day.

Ribs with no sauce have been a great meal when eating out for me. Tender, fatty and filling.

many place will make the ribs with no sauce if you just ask. A lot about staying on plan means asking people to do things differently. I have found most places bend over backwards to please me and get my order right.
