This is a blog that many people can relate to. Here we will give you all the latest weight loss solutions as well as health tips, diet tips, and the real facts on how to lose weight the healthy way.
Carbohydrates have a bad rap. In this day and age of low-carb eating, many people are rejecting bread and other starchy alternatives. What a shame -- breads can be good for you - in moderation!
Tortillas are a great substitution for that everyday slice of bread. Tortillas are very versatile and come in a large variety of sizes and flavors. They are available in regular, organic and spelt (for those who are wheat intolerant). If by chance you are watching your carbs, you can even buy low-carb tortillas. Tortillas range in size from 7 to 13 inches in diameter; perfect for those snacking or who want to prepare a wrap for more than one person.
Tortillas come in so many flavors: plain, whole wheat, garlic, basil, spinach, black bean, southwestern, red chili pepper and even cinnamon honey and chocolate (try them for dessert). The fiber content ranges from 1 to 6 grams. Read the ingredient label and choose tortillas made without hydrogenated fat, and make sure that the Nutrition Facts label says that each tortilla has fewer than 3 grams of fat.
For those of you who want a low-carb meal, there are low-carb tortillas that range from 3 to 7 grams of net carbohydrate per serving. Atkins, La Tortilla and Adios Carbs Tortillas are a few of the brands to choose from. The ones by La Tortilla have only 50 calories and 3 grams of net carbs.
Wraps make quick and easy meals. Just add your choice of fillings and fold over or roll up. You can have them for breakfast with scrambled eggs and cheese; stuff them with deli meats or salads; use them for fajitas, tacos, burritos or enchiladas. Enjoy them anyway you like -- just wrap and roll!
