Hey! Chick-fil-a is trying to give the Low-carbers a better choice! Whole Wheat Buns! I think they are honey whole wheat. If anyone knows the stats, please let me know!

Thanks for the info on the difference between whole wheat and whole grain. I still think that whole wheat is better than enriched flour, but I do see where you are coming from. After reading the other links, I see that whole grain uses more energy to digest and is probably the best choice of all for people who don't have difficulty digesting such large particles.
You are right is saying that everyone doesn't have to

beachgirl, I don't live by the book. I wouldn't call myself a purist or a tweaker. I call it my WOE. It's all mine. I eat how I want, I am healthier for it, and I eat what I want... oh yeah. I already said that. lol. Quoting things from the book are great, but people's experiences are worth a lot as well. Combined, this WOE rocks! take care!

Hmmm...I don't think we have Don Pablo's here. Does anyone else have Del Taco? Other than the flour tortillas, do you see anything else that makes their soft tacos and
I thought I'd jump in about tortillas. We don't have either of those chains in Connecticut, but I wanted to share what I do in any Mexican restaurant. Whenever possible, I choose the soft corn, instead of flour, tortillas for fajitas. I have not looked up the glycemic indexes of either, but I feel they are a better choice for two reasons: 1. the corn looks more "grainy" than the very white, refined flour tortilla, and 2. the corn tortillas are usually thinner, and thus seem less packed with carbs in general. Even if the corn tortillas aren't any better glycemic-wise, they seem to just be less food.
What do you all think? Anyway, once I went to a place where they didn't have soft corn tortillas, so I ate just one of the flour tortillas, and just used a fork to eat the rest of the fajita meat and veggies. (I figure since Dr. A. lists white flour in the "avoid or eat rarely" category, once in a while I can indulge. And so far it has only been once.)
What do you think about corn vs. flour tortillas? Would love feedback. Anyway, I should probably go look up the nutritional info, and maybe I will look at packages of them next time I go to the store.
Well, sorry so long... just wanted to pass my thoughts along.

I bought the Arnold's low carb bread and it's white bread in disguise! So disappointed. The texture is not right either. Will stick to regular whole wheat and whole grain breads. For a few extra carbs, the taste and texture are not worth sacrificing!

No, I don't own stock in Arnold's .. Just want a good product to get its due....

I am taking a shot in the dark, and if it is wrong, I am sure I will hear about it from someone, but honey in it's purest form is natural, right?
Ria, yes, pure honey is natural, comes straight out of nature.
