Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / February 2005More info on low carb product at stores, please.
Hello. I received some fantastic feedback regarding prepared low carb foods for a college paper I am writing (and some rude feedback - I am sorry I don't know how to "quote", JC Der Koenig. Thanks for being a big enough person to explain how to do it for this newbie without leaving any negative quotes yourself. Please do not resond to this message as I can simply read what seems to be every other post on here with your self absorbed comments.) Anyway, I was hoping I could get more information, or thoughts, about successes or failures anyone has had through the use of LC products bought prepared from their local market. For me, I have more sucess at weight management when I make my own foods with fresh ingredients (including Soy Peanut Butter Cookies, which look horrible but taste great!) Thanks in advance! -Peter (and if someone will let me know how to "properly" respond to left feedback, I would be thankful. Not you Der Koenig.) You're in college, and yet you can't figure out how to quote? Majoring in basketweaving, perhaps?  SignatureYou take stupid to a new level. -- MFW > Hello.

Not you Der Koenig.) I AM majoring in basketweaving! My interest in this art form may have been sparked while I was earning my first degree at Cornell University. This Ivy League degree has opened so many doors for me - it's almost unfair! Basketweaving has always held such a special place in my heart as the distraction from the intense competition known as Ivy League Schooling. I am glad I now have the chance to study this arts importance in society, as I have always bemoaned the fact that I could not share my love of it's complex patterns with others. Now, the only thing I can regret while I sit here looking at that diploma on my wall (which, again I will add, will let me breeze through life) is that I didn't pay more attention to people who could help me learn how to reply in Google groups. JC - I am sorry if I ignored you each time I chose teams in grade school. I'm sorry I wouldn't let you sit at my table at lunch in high school. I'm sorry if you weren't invited to my college parties. Let's put all that behind us and know that now, you are the better person. I'll take that to my level. -P I'm sorry if you weren't > invited to my college parties.

You can "cut & paste" other people's messages in your reply. If you have access to OE you can use the free "News.individual.net." Set OE to include original-messages in all replies.

I thought you are working part-time. It's tough studying while working FT. I'd spent the last 2 years writing up my thesis while working FT, my bosses have been very accomodating so it didn't kill me or anything. I am waiting for the date for my defence.

All of the ones I've had (and I've had basically every variety I can find) aren't as good as normal tortillas. However, they're good enough. One trick they use is making the physical size smaller for low carb versions -- the low carb versions may only be 5 inches in diameter, while the higher carb ones will be huge. They also use soy flour and whole wheat flours, along with some type of fiber. They also aren't really that low in carbs, if you eat more than one of them.

But then again, I don't care about that. they have 100 kcal each, are at least 7 inches (I'll have to measure them - -but they are small like those Mama Lupe ones) and they taste okay. 6 net carbs per tortilla, with 7 g of fiber. And NO Transfats. I get them from Sam's Club. One of those, two slices of cheese, one serving of canadian bacon...300 kcals and I'm out the door. That's what makes it manna.

I've been eating them with beef, pork, eggs, as a wrap for "sandwiches," etc. Personally, I have to watch the tortillas -- I was having one for breakfast (holding my eggs) and two for dinner. I still have two for dinner at times, but I also like trying to replace tortillas with something like vegetables, when I can.

In fact, sometimes I have to eat carbs just to get energy for biking -- I'm currently lifting weights one day and biking the next, and the bike rides can become problematic without a few extra carbs the day before; if I space the bike rides a day apart from weightlifting, it's not as bad. The day I really feel it is Saturday, when I ride for longer distances and at the end of a week of trying to reduce calories. I think it's more that I'd rather replace something of questionable value (these tortillas have lots of ingredients) with something with more perceived value (like grean beans).

I don't think it takes any more time to make frozen vegies as it does pull out a tortilla (especially because I have to cook whatever goes in the tortilla anyway).

Hello Peter, > (and if someone will let me know how to "properly" respond to left > feedback, I would be thankful. Not you Der Koenig.) When using Google, you hit "Show options" next to the author's name *first*. When you select "Reply" from the options across the header section you'll get a window that contains the message you're replying to. Edit for brevity and clarity and add your comments. It's necessary to do it this way in order to get the message you're replying to in the window automatically. As you've seen, merely hitting "Reply at the bottom of a message doesn't do that - although it would have been possible to use "Cut and Paste". Have a good day, Carmen > (and if someone will let me know how to "properly" respond to left > feedback, I would be thankful. Not you Der Koenig.) It would be much easier if you ditched Google, and use a newsreader like Gravity or Agent/FreeAgent (or even Outlook Express, provided you find a patch called "OE quotefix"). Google is best used as an archive to search old posts, but it makes a lousy newsreader. I see you have RoadRunner. RR has news servers that you can set up with a newsreader or OE; yours is most likely called called news.wi.rr.com or news-server.wi.rr.com, and probably listed on your local RR support webpage. However, RR all over the USA is fairly notorious for spotty newsfeeds, missing a lot of posts or breaking down frequently, so a lot of people sign up for the free server at http://news.individual.net for text-based discussion groups like this one, because it's more reliable.
