I have started to become 'RAPPER'

[BJ2020]

Hi All,

Just thought I'd post that I have become a bit of a wrapper recently, lol

I have decided to cut down on my bread intake and I am trying this method.

I buy wraps and put 3 ingredients in then. In the pic below I have

1) carrot

2) cheese

3) tuna

Another one I did was

1) cheese

2) onion

3)lettuce

Name me some more I can make below. Would be great to hear your suggestions.

Haha, I think wholemeal wraps are one of the lowest GL (glycemic load) breads you can have (someone correct me if I’m wrong) so good choice! Are you veggie? What about some chicken bacon avocado?!

[BJ2020 in reply to Hidden]

Great if they are anything to continue to lose weight. I'm always adapting and learning. I want to do it right this time. Lost 4st in the past but put it all back and now I'm down almost 5 stone. Not a veggie just increasing my intake of veg as I'm good with fruit, veg is where I lack. Thanks for your suggestion. 🙂

[Subtle_badger in reply to Hidden]

As far as I can tell from googling, I don't think that is true about the GL - but as GL depends on quantity as well as quality of carbs, opening each wrap and only using half to make the sandwich would also halve the carbs and thus the GL.

of course, that means more to go stale, and become bird food,so maybe split them and then freeze them as soon as you buy them, they would defrost quickly as they are quite thin.

Do you like hummus? You can always add tuna together and then put them in the wrap.😀👍🌈

[BJ2020 in reply to Activity2004]

Not tried hummus thanks for the suggestion 🙂

[Activity2004 Visitor in reply to BJ2020]

You’re welcome! I had mixed tuna with hummus for dinner tonight with peanuts on the side.

[BJ2020 in reply to Activity2004]

Will try it 🙂. Just need more wraps 🙂

[Activity2004 Visitor in reply to BJ2020]

I use gluten free corn wraps since I have a gluten intolerance with wheat and I count carbs. for each meal and snack since I’m a type 1 Diabetic.

[BJ2020 in reply to Activity2004]

Sorry about you been diabetic that must suck, but yeh I'm using whole meal wraps.

[Activity2004 Visitor in reply to BJ2020]

I’ve been Diabetic for 39 years ago. I use a CGM for tighter blood sugar control.

The cornmeal wraps sound good!😀👍🌈

[BJ2020 in reply to Activity2004]

You've had a lot of practice in getting it right then 🙂

[Activity2004 Visitor in reply to BJ2020]

Yes, with a few hiccups here and there.😀👍👍

That looks absolutely delicious. What a great way to start cutting back on bread.😃

[BJ2020 in reply to PurpleFlyer]

Thanks, I found on some occasions that I was just eating the bread just to use it up before it went off so that I wouldn't waste it. So I thought of this. Any suggestions for fillings?

[PurpleFlyer 7lbs in reply to BJ2020]

I like to make breakfast burritos sometimes with eggs, tomato, and either cheese or avocado. 😃

May I suggest chicken tikka, and tzaziki (greek yogurt, diced cucumber and mint) and salad. Its lush!

[BJ2020 in reply to Progressoverperfect]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll omit the Tasiki sauce as I don't like it.

I like to make veggie pizza wraps:

sautee mushrooms, peppers, and onions using garlic and chilli flakes if you like spicy. Place veg on a wrap

Top with sweetcorn, quorn "pepperoni" and grated mature cheddar

Microwave for 30-50 seconds til cheese melts

Top with salad leaves and mayo

Wrap and enjoy 😋

[BJ2020 in reply to Hidden]

Nice sounds good I need to use the hot sauce up 😁
