negative carbs? i doubt it
« on: May 30, 2010, 07:05:11 PM »
i found some tortillas that APPEAR to be negative in net carbs. It's Ole Mexican low carb extreme health tortillas (spinach and herb). I was googling it to see what I could find out and I will paste a link to someone else's discussion about the same product. The label says 5 g total carbs and 12 g fiber. They are delicious, but I wonder if I've been duped! (ha, I"m SURE of it).

owensmath,
      Have you heard that saying? "If it sounds to good to be true" I want to know. It seems every brand I try raises my BG level.  :'( Romaine for me.
And if I claim to be a wise man. It surely means that I don't know... Kansas

I ate one hour ago and my BG is now 136. It's about what it usually is at this time.

those are a net 5 each. Ole fails to list the total carbs prior to fiber subtraction. Don`t be fooled
