@dustin - Agree, however the family prefers a sweeter rub. I suppose I could use some powder stevia vs. sugar in my standard rubs.There's plenty I'm sure. Salt and Pepper is always good. People tend to want to put sugar on pork, myself included, but you can always go straight savory.
@Tim - Thanks! To be honest, losing the weight eliminating carbs has been super easy. I'm embarrassed to say I haven't exercised once, just eaten a lot of fat and under 20 total carbs a day and the weight just fell off. I've got another 10-15 to lose and I'm thinking I'm going to have to exercise to lose these last few lbs as my weight loss has slowed down tremendously.Larry, firs of, let me congratulate you on the weight loss! Losing 50 lbs is not an easy task, no matter the diet plan you follow. That said, I would have to think that the amount of sugar used in the rub of your choice will not affect you or your diet. I realize you didn't get to where you are without paying close attention to your daily intake, but I think in this instance (again only my opinion) you're splitting hairs.
Again, congrats on the weight loss,
Tim
