- Dr. Westman Reviews: Pork Rinds vs Veggie Chips
When done properly, keto diets typically control appetite and reduce hunger so well that people tend to eat less without even trying. They’re also able to go much longer between meals without feeling a need to snack. But since we’re only human and many of us enjoy a crunchy snack now and then - or sometimes something crunchy as part of a meal - which is better if you’re following a low-carb or keto diet - pork rinds or veggie chips?
Check out Dr. Westman’s latest video to hear his opinion on pork rinds (a.k.a. chicharrones) versus veggie chips or veggie straws, which are typically marketed as “healthy.”

Pork rinds are my go to when the family is craving Restaurant Mexican food, I take a bag with me every time
They're so good with guacamole
Pork rinds and sour cream!
ooh
You are saving lives Dr. Westman.
Pork Rinds, a few cheese cubes, and an egg or two are my midday work-snack :)
A packet of pork rinds, I put them in a food blitzer and use the crumbs instead of breadcrumbs
I love regular pork skins with salt and butter. Great with salsa. Seasoned crushed pork skins are wonderful on baked fish. Thanks Doc!
Ground up pork rinds are a great substitute for bread crumbs. Fried chicken is back on the menu!
I use them ground up in meat loaf.
Yes! I’ve been grinding my own for years and use it for breading or meatloaf and meatballs or anywhere you want some crunch!
Sounds great ! 👍
Goodness, I needed this info. I eat a lot of the 10 1 oz.pak box of skins. One has to watch the flavored one as they have Maltodextrin and some carbs. Freeze cheese sticks, soak in egg batter, dip in crushed meat skins and air fry for a minute or two. So good.
We never had potato chips as kids. My dad only bought chicharones.
Your math is off. If 38 straws = 15 grams then each straw is .39 grams. So one could eat about 12 of them for about 5 carbs.
This is great! As a retired nurse who has done lo carb for YEARS I can only WISH you had been around YEARS ago and many more of you as well! GO DOC!
Pork rinds can be crunched up to make a meatloaf and can be used in dishes where you would use dumplings!
How about dried seaweed strips? It's low carb.
I like pork rinds. I can eat them by themselves but many times I make a dip using sour cream, dill, a little garlic and onion powder. Thank you for the comparison. Two veggie sticks! That’s a laugh. 😂😂
Sounds yummy
Oh wow thanks for that dip recipe. Now I need to make that for my pork rinds😋
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Dr Westman
Thank Doctor Westman for your content and truth!! Be safe and God bless!
Hi Doctor.thank you so much
Really appreciate the discussion! Would love to see a review of the low carb yogurts. Than you Dr Westman you are changing lives.
I love this Doctor
I just recently bought and ate pork rinds for the first time in my life. I used to love veggie chips and Pringles. I don't eat those anymore not only because of the carbs but the seed and hydroginated like are a big issue for me. I do keto with a 25 g net limit currently. With me I don't subtract sugar alcohol from the total carbs as long as it has 2 g or more carbs because those I've found affect my blood sugar so I have to count any of those above less than 1 g carb. I after starting keto went for whispers, home made roasted pumpkin seeds, and nuts as my go to savory carb junk food substitute. I'd always had a "eww, animal skin as food, gross" aversion to pork rinds. One of the few foods I'd be picky over. Earlier this year I scrounged up money for a air fryer I got cheap and with a $10 off coupon at heb. Turned a $40 air fryer into a $30 air fryer. I've used it to make my own veggie and apple chips. The veggie chips I tend to use thin sliced turnip or rutabega. Today I opted with some gold potato's trying to make chips for my son that are a healthier option. He didnt like them so I may have some in small amounts as a treat. I tolerate potato and sweet potato well if I limit. I tend not to do more than 1-3 oz of those though. So, I'm thinking I may do chips I made myself without added fat as part of a meal.
Its best to make your own veggie chips in a oven, dehydrator, or air fryer/toaster oven rather than buy the store crap full of garbage. The store stuff I still think tastes good, but its not worth the health issues including ibs symptoms I deal with after for days or blood sugar being spiked for 3-4 days. Not worth harming my health again over
Thanks!
if one serving size of veggie straws is one ounce, or 38 straws, then 1/3 serving would be 13 straws, not 2. another way to calculate it would be to divide 15 by 38 to figure the grams of carbohydrates per individual straw, in this case, less than 1/2 g per straw
I like pork rinds and have eaten them since childhood.They are especially nice with everything you mentioned.
Watch out for the flavored ones...they have lots bad stuff you probably don't want. Plain only!
👍Absolutely!👍
Hey Dr Westman, Yes Very Helpful Thanks Much 😊 👍

Could you do a video on weight set point, ruined metabolism from yo yo dieting, plateauing. I’m stuck
Been eating rinds with cottage cheese with seasoning. Oh, my.
I'm glad the pork rinds exist because there might be times where you might want to snack socially, like watching a hockey game or something, and it's nice to know you can at least partake without derailing your progress.
At H-E-B you can get pork rind 'panko' crumbs.
Thank you! Pork rinds and sour cream, yum-yum!
With tabasco sauce or Texas Petes in the sour cream !
I think I might buy some. I haven’t had them in decades. They weren’t my favourite thing to eat, but maybe having something around might stop me from eating peanut butter.
Much better than peanuts. Loaded with collagen. Good replacement for potato chips !
I love peanut butter! I started making cashew butter to go in my coconut fat bombs. The cashew better is even better than peanut butter. Now I’m afraid to make fat bombs because I can’t resist eating the cashew butter!😂
Good using butter as a “dip”
Cashews are very high carb. Peanuts are also pretty high. If you’re on a low carb diet (especially 20g or less as Dr Westman recommends) you probably have to cut those from your diet. Just because it’s a nut doesn’t mean it can’t be high in carbs. It’s important to read all the labels and count your carbs.
Most of the flavored pork rinds seem to have maltodextrin as an ingredient.
I did not eat pork rinds growing up but I now eat the Ghost pork rinds because I miss Mexican food and the crunch in foods.
Pork rinds are my only go-to junk food. Pork skins and salt. That's it. I eat an entire large bag of them. They're great and such a wonderful and tasty contrast to whole eggs, liver, beef, chicken, butter, and sardines, which is all I normally eat every day.
I have actually eaten broken up pork rinds as cereal. Just plain salted pork rinds, broken up in a bowl, pour some unsweetened almond milk on them, and sprinkle a no-cal sweetener such as stevia, erythritol, etc on top. Does not taste salty at all. Tastes better to me than any of the commercial "keto" cereals I have tried.
This is interesting!
Please be careful with almond milk! It has a crazy amount of highly bioavailable toxic oxalates. If you can't drink dairy, coconut milk has very low oxalates
@@nataliajimenez1870 Thank you for the warning. As someone who suffered greatly in the past from a kidney stone, I do think about that. I supplement daily with both potassium citrate and magnesium citrate, plus I drink a glass of lemon water every day. All of these help negate oxalates on the rare occasions I eat anything with oxalates in it.
@Natalia Jimenez - I like coconut milk and coconut cream 😋👌
I will try the pork rinds for cereal! I miss crunchy cereal!
"Missing the crunch." Worst part for me. Ate so much pork rinds in 2022.
Actually, Mark and I do eat pork rinds alone, no sauce or added anything. I eat them as a source of “crunch.”
Pork rind nachos 👌🏻
Egg salad or tuna salad on pork rinds!
Not the same as on bread or crackers 😭😭😭
@@emh8861 No, not the same but still good. And to me, bread and crackers equates to metformin, valsartan, and cholestyramine and I'm never going back to that regimen of dependency on pharmaceuticals.
Yes! Chicken salad too! 😋
Try Pork Scratchings from the Black Country (West of Birmingham, England).
Pork Rinds are delicious. Thank You
my question is what the rhinds are cooked in. cotton seed oil? canola? safflower? palm?
Pork rinds and Greek cream cheese...never heard of Greek cream cheese? Find it and try it and thank me when you do...Green Mountain Farms makes my favorite
You can make it yourself! Take greek yogurt, strain it (i use coffee filters lined in a colander, set over a bowl...save the whey to ferment food with!) for 4-5 days...labneh is what you get...greek cream cheese! Yum!
Maybe this has been noticed alread; I believe you made a math error. You divided straws/grams that will result in straws per gram (2.5) not grams per straw.
Grams/straw would be15/38 = .395 grams per straw.
I like pork rinds better but the sodium is high.
It's long overdue for US nutrition panels to have a third column with a standard quantity (most use 100g) like the rest of the world. Manufacturers don't want you to be able to compare products.. it also gets around them using artificially tiny serving sizes to round numbers down to zero.
i completely agree. i’m so tired of trying to do the math to compare products. your “standard” of 100 grams would solve all that!
@mjgrant1515 that's why it's so strongly opposed by the industry lobby
I snack on pork rind chips cooked in pork fat - delicious 😊
What about Tufts’ new compass food comparisons where cereal is healthier than eggs, butter, beef and cheese!? Dr Ken Berry did a video on this.
I would also stay away from seed, oils like canola oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, etc. So for me, the pork rinds would have to be cooked in tallow or lard.
I’ve used bacon grease or butter..❤️
For Clean cooked Pork rinds, we use either the 4505 brand or Pork King Good- both are delicious and way better than most
Other brands. The
Pork King Good are light as air and super crunchy.
Epic brand baked pork rinds are my choice.
Pork rinds with guacamole are soo good! Now I tried it with cottage cheese😂 and soo good!
Pork rinds, clean with only salt. I take them on trips, combine it with carbonated water. Perfect!
Great video
If you question, disagree, or share a negative outcome, most keto sites will block your comments. So be wary when reading comments if they only echo the tenants of the video. Remember many folks earn their income by promoting keto on youtube & other social media.
I question the choice of eating pork rinds, tho I've incorporated them into my diet primarly to replace breadcrumbs since going keto two years ago. Most traditional health sites say they're full of saturated fat and will lead to problems with cholesterol. Most keto&carnivore folks have issues with cholesterol. Anyway, I'm here to tell you that I'm keto nearly two years and have not lost significant weight. Blood sugar has improved & that's valuable in & of itself. Want to tell you that my appetite hasn't diminished either. Okay..so I hope I've validated your experience if it has been similar. I wish others would come forward & speak & say how they've negotiated these problems. However, such comments get blocked if they don't tow the keto line (or lie). I cant be the only one here flapping in the wind... Anyone else with a similar experience?
Ok during fasting if no glucose response?
Is academy only online?
can one buy pork rinds without salt? I use for baking and need ones without salt.
Hated pork rinds when I did Adkins 30 or more years ago. Tried some fancy looking ones recently-still find them disgusting. Those that can eat them sure are lucky as they provide ‘crunch’ something sorely missing.
Acquired taste I find
A great snack but I like mine home made 😉
Neither for me.
Your math is backwards. There are 38 straws per serving. 15g of carbs per serving.
38 straws per 15g of carbs.
13 straws per 5g of carbs.
You calculated grams per straw. You should have calculated straws per gram.
Straws per gram is grams per straw the gramstraws are strawgrammed and programmed to straw up the gram game and strawngly strawggest more of a Grammy oriented strawgram.
I absolutely believe it's not butter.
Yes, they are .4 grams of carbs per straw. But still not worth it. Especially when you look at the ingredients.
No matter how one calculates it, veggie straws are a garbage food...
Can you please explain why pork rinds DO raise my blood sugar? I am T2D and have been doing keto for over 7 months and the only carbs I eat are what is in lettuce, broccoli, green beans or mushrooms. My carb intake is
I liked pork rinds until I started Keto. I guess I was use to eating them with a cola type drink. Now I find I need to drink a lot of water to get a few of them down. I also have heartburn after eating pork rinds. I love crunch so I expected the pork rinds to be a great alternative to chips! I have never seen anyone comment on pork rinds giving them indigestion.
Maybe drink a sparkling water with them to get the same effect as the cola
@@XffugoMxxn I changed brands of pork rinds and no more heartburn! Yay!!!
@@marcysikes Awesome
Should you consider what they are fried in?
I’ve wondered this too, the bags don’t seem to identify what oil they use
Thank you so much. I used to argue with my mother, it doesn't matter how healthy you say these are. Look at the carbs. But at least she turned me toward healthy things. I still prefer hard wheat over white.
Dr., 19 straws is 7.5g if 38 straws are 15G. 10 straws are 4g. Welcome.
Pork rinds and real Mexican style guacamole you are wellcome my burger frens
I used to laugh at them, but they are my friend, now!
How can you do a Ketogenic diet if your are lactose and casein intolerant to commercial A1 cow products?
You don't have to eat dairy. Many ketovores just eat butter or clarified butter (ghee, it removes ALL milk proteins). Some have also found that they can drink goat's milk or cheese because it doesn't have A1 protein
I really wish you wouldn’t tell people they won’t be hungry after a couple of days. It took me a full 2 weeks before I started to lose that constant hunger. And in the meantime I thought I was doing something wrong.
Good point, surely he will adjust for future eventually as more patients experience this. But its likely a majority, so the majority fit into that 2day.
My appetite doesnt seem to have changed in nearly two years on keto. I haven't been able to lose significant weight either. DK if it's just me, if people's similar comments are always blocked on keto sites bc folks make their livlihoods promoting this, or what. Blood sugar has improved. Eat less? IDK...feel like I cut nearly everthing out already....
It’s been so long I don’t remember how long it took for the hunger to go away. I ate a lot of salami either w cream cheese or blue cheese for the first while or just the meat. I also had grape tomatoes around. I still keep the grape tomatoes handy.
@@mariad1151 how many carbs are you eating? I’ve lost 70lbs in 11 months. I use an app to keep track of my food. I try and stay under 20 carbs. Sometimes I go over. I have found I’ve just accidentally do intermittent fasting by accident.
@@VJShordee Congrats VJ! I'm so happy for you! I try to keep carbs under 20 grams per day. I limit cheese. Try to eat a salad for lunch with chicken or hard boiled eggs. Then dinner. 2 meals per day. Nothing seems to work. What app do you use? Tried to download the Atkins app, but can't get it....
Protein and animal fat[nessisary) VS. carbohydrate and fibre [not one exogenous gram of carb required "
I have a question regarding net carbs. If you look at erythritol, you find that per 100g it has 100g total carbs but 0g net carbs. From the point of view of only looking at total carbs it would have to be avoided. But usually erythritol is recommended in the keto/low carb community because it has zero effect on blood glucose, given that none of it is converted to glucose. Is there any reason to avoid it?
Why are people craving for crap…. I eat a pound of fatty beef and only thing I crave is a little nap…. And that’s all I eat most days…. Maybe few eggs with it and bit of butter
I must have tried the wrong brand of pork rinds. They did not taste good at all.
But what about the toxicity of the oil in which they are fried? Or are they baked? Baked would be healthy. Commercial oils are really full of chemicals.
There are some that are baked, but usually you have to buy them online
@Natalia Jimenez good to know, thank you!
I bought some raw almonds. big mistake. It had been so long, they tasted like candy to me! i ate ALOT of them. like a half cup or more!
If you eat rinds does it stop your body from eating its own fat? Just unclear on that aspect
I notice that when my diet is high fat, low carb a few things happen. One, I eat less because fat is satiating. Just keep in mind that the fat has more than double calories compared to carbs, but I eat less and less often. Two is that my body is in constant fat burning mode (I don't eat more than five grams of fat in an hour without doing physical exercise right before or after eating). This will burn your body fat then the fat in your diet will be reprocessed in your body into body fat then stored in your fat cells. This takes energy to do, a whole lot more than the low energy process to turn sugar into body fat. The fat in your diet is the "wrong" fat for your body and has to be changed and processed before it's stored as fat and burned with metabolism. That's why you want more omega six fat and less omega three.
A common problem with most every LCHF/Keto video I watch is the use of ounces and grams. We talk about macros in grams and then quote serving size and servings in ounces. Please, please please stick with grams. Thank you.
Have you tried a digital scale where you can change from grams, ozs, kgs, or lbs? I find it helps me.
ua-cam.com/video/ooOyWZFf9VY/v-deo.html .Is this doctor saying that the body burns fat before carbs during exercises?
I make my own bacon chips by putting bacon pieces in a non-stick saucepan and cooking them with the lid on
This is better than cooking them in a frying pan
Stir them every now and again and then when they are cooked drain on paper towels
❤🌷🌹❤
Anyone else concerned about cholesterol issues from eating saturated fats?
Not at all. The main keto docs (besides Dr Westman, of course!) on YT who I think explain it best are Sten Eckberg, Jason Fung, Dr Cywes, Ken Berry and especially to help with some of the hurdles, Amy Berger. There are dozens more. William Davis, Annette Bosworth "Dr Boz", Georgia Ede, Tim Noakes.
Nope
Check out "Low carb down under" for some good videos about it.
@@NoSelf23 that's the appropriate response. Thanks.
How could I leave out Dr. Benjamin Bikman? He's great! Sorry Dr. B.
Yeah. Too much work.
Meat, dairy, eggs, certain fats and a few veggies = keto. Get Dr Westman's free Start Keto Right guide above :)
@@NoSelf23 I think you misunderstood me. I'm ketovore already. I keep it simple, too.
Will eating pork rinds break your fast? .they ⁸⁸
Yes .
