Did you know...

that all of the hotdogs in the regular grocery store have some sort of corn syrup or modified corn starch in them? I checked every one! I will only be buying my hotdogs from the whole foods store from now on.

I've been trying to figure out why I've been so stinkin' hungry for four days now. I ate hotdogs twice in that time. I'm sure it's the corn syrup! ARGH!

I have noticed that a lot of people eat them. I have never thought to check the label before. Some of them had as much as 5 carbs per serving in them.

Watch out

Yep, you have to check everything!

You can get sugar free dogs but you may have to do a little searching.
I don't know if you have Trader Joe's or Wholefoods in your neck of the woods, but you can get good dogs there!

I have found that the best ones are the kosher ones like Hebrew National or Nathans. Boars Head also makes a sugar free one.

Yup. Have to read the label EVERY SINGLE TIME. I'm pretty picky with the ones I'll buy.

We just started to be able to get Nathans at Safeway. O.M.G. They're my new favorites, even if they are almost 7 (!!!) bucks a pound. Ironic that I can often find filet mignon for that price huh?

Yeah, I love ball park, but they are 4 carbs a dog. Nathans is 1, I think. I usually get those nowadays. (I love to make that Coney Island Chili Pie - MMMM)

Yeah, we have a local brand of grass fed beef franks that costs the same but fortunately I made peace with my ridiculous grocery bill long ago.

We only eat Nathans in our house.

I seem to remember the Nathan's had modified corn starch or something like that in it. I don't care much for Hebrew National. I guess I will stick with the organic at our local healthfood store.
