Having just started the BSD after following slimming world I just need to check if you still remove chicken skin. I’m using my fitness pal to log calories at but wasn’t too sure about this. Any advice would be gratefully received.

It depends on if you like chicken skin and if you have enough allowance left in your calorie allowance for the day. As long a the extra calories are accounted for, go ahead – and the extra fat will help you to feel fuller for longer.

I’m guessing you are going to come across a lot of anomalies like this, as the BSD is a completely different mindset – fats good, carbs bad. So, instead of rejecting foods on fat content, you’ll now need to avoid those that read high in carbs instead.

Use the forum for advise and support and to search for particular topics, use the search box in the top right corner. Hope things go well for you and you will soon be reporting great results. Good luck.

Thank you

Just a little nice crunchy skin will do no harm but take care with the calories and some fats are better than others, like olive oil vs chicken skin.
