Sausage Generally Banned From Traditional Weight Loss Plans & Diets

Fact is, almost every food which is housed within the Food Pyramid can be part of a healthy weight loss plan - as well as part of a healthy daily diet.

When we're looking at sausage, we're generally seeing lots of fatty acid content. There are also many different types of sausages - from links to rings to patties which are used at breakfast time more often than not.

When we opt to purchase the regular breakfast sausage rolls, the negative nutritional values can be steep. But let's take a look at what happens when we opt for reduced fat varieties. We'll use Jimmy Dean Sausage as our example.
