Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007Lunch Today
One of the most filling and satisfying lunches I have is low-carb pita pockets filled with tuna salad. I make the tuna salad with Miracle Whip lite and no-sugar-added sweet pickle relish. Sometimes I have lettuce to add, sometimes not. Today my wife and kids dropped by the office so we could deposit my paycheck (I don't drive) and the kids wanted McDonald's. This was right before I was to make my brought-to-work lunch, so I got a side-salad and got the Newman's Own Ginger Asian dressing. I decided to use the salad greens in my pita pockets, and I also added the dressing to my tuna salad mix, yum! Haven't checked my BG yet, but I suspect it shouldn't be much higher than usual. The ginger dressing is pretty sweet, but it only has 15 carbs, so it's like eating one slice of bread, right? Now that I think about it, it's been an hour since I've eaten, and I have the free mini tester here at the office... 142. Not a great score, but not bad either, especially since I feel like that guy on the Taco Bell commercial raving about their value menu... I'M FULL!!!! Sounds good! I often eat tuna with real mayo wrapped in a low carb torillia and lettace. Today i ate one ouce tortilias with one ounce seasoned beef and a ounce of chedder cheese meted on top and a big serving of fresh salsa that i make with onion and celantro , tomatoes. lime juice and a shot of hot sauce if i want even more heat all diced and mixed in a large bowl. Pre meal numbers was 90..one hour 120 and 2 hour 96 and i was very full. Best part is i got tons of left overs to make wraps with low carb tortilias or more nachos for a couple days.

Yeah, I said 21 grams of fiber! Goodness. Haven't tried them yet, but if they're edible then Tex-Mex is back on my menu!

Haven't tried them yet, but if they're edible then Tex-Mex is back on my menu! I buy some whole wheat tortillas that used to be labeled to show a whopping amount of fiber in them. Oddly, each time I would buy them, they would change that amount. I know it couldn't have been as high as they said it was because when I ate what they said would have amounted to about 15g of carb, I'd be spike city. I juast ate good old old dutch resteraunt style white corn totrillias with my meal...but i used a digital food scale to eat exatlly one ounce. I am learning more and more i can eat most foods if i eat a small portion and read the labels.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > I buy some whole wheat tortillas that used to be labeled to show a > whopping Try the hidden carb test to see if the numbers add up. Do they add up? There use to be a tortilla on the market that had claims but they had to change the label as they were doing fancy math. :) Cheryl http://www.e-clipse.com/hidcarbcal.htm >My husband just bought home some whole wheat tortillas that are 70 >grams each and claim to have 31 grams of carb and 21 grams of fiber. >Yeah, I said 21 grams of fiber! Goodness. Haven't tried them yet, >but if they're edible then Tex-Mex is back on my menu! Howdy Ricavito, Which brand of tortillas are these? Also what size are they? BlkBear Type 2 Ohhh whats the name of them and where bought? Keep us updated! As i recall real indian corn stone ground isnt anywhere near as high carb as the sweet corn mass produced and used in the foods we eat today. So makes sense it would have more fiber if they are using a old variatal of corn. Sorta the same idea behind dreamfields and other food items..they find a old pre bio engeneered varital and grow it and its naturally good for you.
