Manufacturers and Net Carbs!
Okay... something seems a little off to me about all these pitas and tortillas and whatnot that are claiming to be low carb.
An example: Mama Lupe's Low-Carb Tortillas
Ingredients: water, whole wheat flour, enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), soy fiber, soy protein, ............
These products are all still using flour and then tossing in lots of fiber to bring down the "net carbs" number. Sure, I'm getting lots of fiber in one of these tortillas... but I'm STILL ingesting a bunch of flour!!
I think I might avoid these for a while... they seem only appropriate for maintainance to me. Any thoughts??
