Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Happened again
Tonight I bought some low carb tortillas to go with dinner and when it came time to eat, I didn't want any. It's like the bread I bought. It's been sitting there for a week +. I had one slice. It just has no appeal. It sounds good in the store but when it comes time for the meal I'm just not interested. The Hebrew National kosher dogs were good though. And only 1 carb each.

I found some I could tolerate, but I can't say that I actually prefer them to the real thing. Yeah. Probably should stop wasting my money.

Probably should stop wasting my money. There is a low carb bread we have found that isn't too bad. It is "Country Kitchen" whole wheat low carb bread. I get it in Walmart and also in Hannaford markets. That and the Wasa crackers are our only breads.

I can. Especically when the real thing leads back down the road to weight regain by stimulating cravings and alternatives don't. LC breads like Sami's are just great. >Tonight I bought some low carb tortillas to go with dinner and when it came >time to eat, I didn't want any. It's like the bread I bought.

I, too, have tortillas wasting in the fridge and more in the freezer. Maybe someday they will be appealing or you will come up with a wonderful dish for us to try. Wonder if there is ANY way we could fake King Ranch Chicken with those LC 'tillas? I LOVE King Ranch Chicken.

The day I don't want bread I will know I have conquered the mountain. It's a slow climb - but I feel it coming.

Just so as not to waste the rest of the tortillas, try heating them (toasting, actually) in a frying pan with just a little bit of olive oil. My wife does that and they seem to come out more nearly edible. Then maybe wrap it around one of those hotdogs with some good baseball-park type yellow mustard. -- 6/2/2003 181/164/16X Dick Yuknavech rey@mindspring.com give all of that fat food to the homeless...you are flying high right now!! katie k Well I still have them so I'll give that a try tonight.

I just read some of today's batch of followups and realize that you didn't mention a brand. We use Tortilla Factory (Herb and Garlic variant), which tastes fairly not bad right out of the package. If you've got something soy-based all bets are off. -- 6/2/2003 181/164/164?

Just this morning I threw away half a package of LC tortillas that have been sitting in my freezer for months. They had absolutely no appeal, and I got tired of looking at them. No more of the low-carb fake foods for me (actually, I had no problem with the taste - I just don't want all the processed "stuff" any more). SignatureA.

The Hebrew National kosher dogs were good though. And only 1 > carb each. Bear I have done that a few times. The taste is bitter due to the soy. I spent $3.50 or so for a loaf of Atkins bread and it was just not tasty. I have thrown out two loaves and a bag of Atkins bagels too. I find I still like my Wasa crackers best, because they are real, whole grain, low carb, high fiber and they taste the best. I like the sourdough rye ones the best.

I like the sourdough > rye ones the best. I haven't tried Wasa crackers, but I can recommend Cheeter's Low Carb crackers. They are harder than I'd prefer, but after 9 months of not eating a high-carb cracker, they were a welcome addition to my diet. I smear some cream cheese on them and then spread just a tiny spoonful of black caviar on top. Delicious decadence.

I haven't seen those anywhere. My sister-in-law gave me a few boxes that she found in a store in Nassau County, NY. But I couldn't find any in the stores I frequent in Manhattan, so I ordered them from Netrition.com.

Macbeth, Act 5 Scene 5 Winn-Dixie carries some great new low carb, only 3g net carbs per, tortillas called the La Tortilla Factory. They come in flavors, my favorite if garlic herb, and the are a lot better than Atkins tortillas they aren't dry and bitter. They're great for sandwiches, mini-pizzas(my fav) and lots of other stuff. I find I usually prefer other low carb brand breads and things to Atkins. > Winn-Dixie carries some great new low carb, only 3g net carbs per, > tortillas called the La Tortilla Factory.

But the catch is that in recent tests only the Atkins products were absolutely on the money as for the actual carbs in them vs. the labels. I tried the Atkins Advantage vanilla shakes and they were twice as big (but more watery )as the Advant-Edge ones and the Advant-Edge tasted better and were thicker. SignatureEvelyn (To reply to me personally, remove sox) Hey Evelyn- I was wondering about those bagels. Too bad. I like the idea of the Wasa. I didn't know they mad a sourdough rye. That sounds good. I'll give them a try.

I dont use too many packaged LC products as they tend to sabatoge this WOE- but a dear friend gave me a "basket" of LC products as a present recently ( nice idea ) - the kick of this - I put the LC bread & tortillas out for the birds to eat and they WOULD NOT eat them! - >I dont use too many packaged LC products as they tend to >sabatoge this WOE- but a dear friend gave me a "basket" >of LC products as a present recently ( nice idea ) - > >the kick of this - I put the LC bread & tortillas out for the >birds to eat and they WOULD NOT eat them! - Not sure - but probably because the base of many low-carb breads is soya. Birds just ain't into it.

I am sure it is the soy. I find anything containing soy flour to be bitter and nasty tasting. SignatureEvelyn (To reply to me personally, remove sox) > Hey Evelyn- > I was wondering about those bagels. Too bad. I like the idea of the Wasa. I > didn't know they mad a sourdough rye. That sounds good. I'll give them a > try. Thanks You'll thank me. :-) They are really good, but you still have to watch the carbs and not go crazy with them. I think they are 7 grams of carb and you get to deduct the fiber, so they are really low. I don't particularly care for the other kinds, especially the one they call "fiber rye" which nearly could break your teeth trying to chew it, but the sourdough rye tastes like a good rye bread does. I used them for a diet crutch for years, but now with the low carb diets being all the rage they are getting hard to find. My usual source is in the grocery store near the melba toast, but when they are cleaned out (often these days) I get them from the german pork store, a place which is no longer a no-no for me since I am on this diet. Homemade german liverwurst and cold cuts, delicious ground lamb patties (great for lunch or dinner on the foreman grill) and hot dogs and kilbasy to die for.....

And lately I've been buying that round crisp-bread - I don't remember the name and I don't have any left to look at the label, but I think they're Swedish or Danish? They come in big "wheels" - a big round, flat cracker with a hole in the middle. Yummy! SignatureA.

I'm "gradually" low-carbing, but now I find that the moment I think of a sandwich, I think of a sandwich wrapped in lettuce - or between two Portabella mushrooms - I can't imagine doing it any other way!! Dinner last night was chicken with roasted mushrooms. Fiance ate potatoes. I didn't even want the potatoes... I was picking the mushrooms off his plate! |
