No, the breading on the chicken has tons of carbs so Atkins dieters should shun this meal.

Low carb diets do not mean you can eat nothing but eggs, cheese and bacon. It means that you should eat healthy protein foods (nuts, chicken, fish, etc.) and green veggies. Don't eat starch (the bad carbs).

"The Wave" at KFC. I perfected this with KFC corn on the cob long before they even thought of the chicken as bread idiom. It is so simple, I am still amazed that I am the only one in the restaurant who has it down cold.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Novus', 'I')t would be ironic if was not so sad at what things have become. Try growing organic vegetables and you have to submit to all kinds of bureaucracy and regulation meanwhile the big corps are given free reign to genetically engineer boneless chickens and other Frankenstein foods.


You know, it wasn't long ago that the folks on your side of the food issue were fighting to make it illegal, or taxed, or fined, or whatever, to eat this kind of food. Problem is, you picked a fight, and you lost... badly.

Such is the price of defeat.

As to the "organic" thing. You only need to jump through those government hoops if you wish to claim the marketing label "organic".

That is quite correct sir. My bad. Missed the breading.

--snip-- As Crocodile Dundee said "Looks like sh*t, but you can live off it" !!!!

Since you brought up things British, here's another KFC story I saw while oogling the Double Down sandwich:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Fast food fan Natalie Jackson was hit with a $264 fine at KFC — for staying too long gorging on a monster-sized “family bucket.” The British trainee nurse and a pal ordered 14 chicken pieces, six bags of fries and large cokes after driving to their local branch.

They spent an hour and a half eating the 5,456-calorie feast. A few days later, KFC regular Jackson got the fine in the mail for breaking the restaurant parking lot’s 75-minute limit. “It’s disgusting. I spend a lot of money in there. Now I’m never going back,” the 24-year-old fumed Wednesday.

Jackson — who eats at KFC three times a week — complained to the restaurant that she was unaware of signs warning of the time limit in Huddersfield, West Yorks. The mega bucket cost her $22.

Jackson said that she doesn’t plan on paying the fine. “It didn’t feel like I was in there all that long. We were hungry.”

I think you are discovering why low-fat diets generally fail. Bread and bananas both have lots of starch. They run your blood sugar way up right after you eat them. A couple of hours later it crashes and you're starving. Atkins diet works because people aren't hungry so they don't eat as much. Their insulin levels stay low and stable and they don't get the hypoglycemia induced hunger. Not that I'm recommending eating 1200 calories of KFC per meal, but if you did, you'd probably end up not being very hungry for an entire day. Throw in a couple of green salads and you might actually end up ok nutritionally.

Here's to the "Double Down", "Monster Thickburger", "6-Dollar Burger", "BK Quad Stacker", "Quadruple Bypass Burger" and "Baconator". These mega-sandwiches represent everything that is right in America. Conspicuous consumption defines our greatness! No, really!

I've been following this practice just as you have described, SPG for the last three months. I've lost 18lbs in that time frame. I also give myself a carbs-are-OK day during the weekend where I get to have pizza, pasta, a burger or some other bready monstrosity. So far so good. Only a few more pounds to go and I'll reach my Wii-Fit goal of losing 22lbs :)

So even whole grains? I was under the impression that whole grains released their sugars/carbs more slowly than the refined flours in white bread etc, which supposedly doesn't spike the insulin level as severely.

Of course I defer to your expertise and appreciate your reply. :)

That sandwich looks awesome; admit it - you're a jealous vegan.

It may give me a reason to go to KFC.

Would work great for Atkins; that breading is probably less than 5 grams of carbs - squat.
