Blimpie Carb Counter sandwiches

I don't know about Blimpie, but my understanding is that low carb fast foods
are a [censored] shoot. The minimum wage employees make mistakes.

If you throw away the bun, your odds are improved.

If you're expecting to reach your goals, you'll need to remove all food
choices that are "carb like" such as breads and tortilla wraps. In my
area, Subway has introduced Atkin's approved wraps. I'm not a big fan
of them because my body does not know the difference. It reduces the
carb by incorporating more soy and adding more fiber. Best way to
reduce carbs is not eat wraps all together. Just eat the insides, the
bacon, chicken and vegetables. But every "body" is diffeent. See how
you feel in the morning. If you feel a fatter the next morning, it
looks like Bimpie is not good.

I just bought some carb reduced wraps today because if I do not have the
carb reduced ones then I will go for the regular ones when I am craving a
wrap and these I can keep in the freezer until needed. 5 net carbs per 10
inch wrap.

That's why you still weigh 400 pounds.

And why exactly is that? I don't see why an occasional wrap as part
of a carb budget should prevent anyone from reaching goals. IMO, it's
far more likely that needless restrictions ultimately lead to failure.

I disagree. I think losing weight not feeling hungry or deprived is
what will drive you. Carbs from breads or tortilla is problematic
because most people can't stop with half a slice. I consider it to be a
"trigger" food. Why? It triggers your appetite. The temptation to eat
more is unstoppable. If you must eat carbs, eat wholesome foods such as
oatmeal with no sugar or salt. Oatmeal is great because it fills you up
and most people won't eat more than they have too.

Mentally, you're assuming it's a carb filled piece of food. It's a
tortilla wrap. And your body will also consider it to be the same and
store it as fat.

Thanks for that great tip! Instead of eating a wrap with 5g of carb,
eat a cup of oatmeal with 22g! What exactly makes oatmeal a wholesome
food and a good LC choice while a wrap is something that triggers
cravings? I've eaten lots of wraps with no problems. They are great
for not only wraps, but make a wonderful mini pizza. You really don't
know much about LC do you?
