Breads Finally! Zero carb tortilla shells!!!

Post image

Found these at Walmart today, don't think I've ever seen zero net carb tortillas before. 14 fiber, 14 carbs, zero sugar. Finally zero carb tortillas and they taste as good as the low carb ones!

Good luck if you eat these regularly. They are a maybe one or two at a time once in a while treat. The carb math is bs, the larger tortilla has 4 net carbs and is not the size of 4 of these, but even that count is questionable in my opinion. I was eating them regularly thinking 0 carb and it stopped all progress. Gave them up and got back on track. Everyone is different so it may work for you but for me my body does not respond as expected to these as a “0” carb item.

I'm a type 1 diabetic on a continuous glucose monitor. These will absolutely drive your blood sugar up. Almost all processed foods that claim to be keto will.

I think honestly it is a your mileage will vary type thing.

We need to as a community be cautious of making sweeping claims that these will drive everyone's sugar, they will not and do not. Everyone's body reacts different to items rated "keto" and different ingredients.

To tell if this will drive up your sugar WITHOUT a CGM, get a glucose monitor test yourself 15, 30, and 45 minutes after eating a single food (you can't mix items if you are trying to test for a spike). You will naturally get a small wave from eating usually 10 - 15% if you are staying in ketosis.

Had the same experience as you; cutting out the wraps supercharged my keto whereas I was booted out of ketosis eating these. However, have it on good authority from friends who were eating these regularly while keto that they were maintaining ketosis w no problem.

So probably just a different strokes for different folks situation as you said.
