Low Carb / Keto Tortilla Mega Review part 2 - VERY Surprising Results
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- This is part two of the most comprehensive review I've ever done. In this part, I review the last few tortilla and then take a "baseline" reading to see what happens to my glucose if I eat a "real" tortilla. There are some pretty surprising results in this video.

I had the privilege of working with a very gifted nutritionist for a few years, a few years back. Her take on net carbs was to only subtract the fiber that occurred naturally in the food; for example: subtract the fiber in an apple when eating a whole apple but ignore the fiber in the psyllium husks when eating a "psyllium husk coated Oreo Cookie."
Three years of testing has validated her approach. "Added fiber" ALMOST NEVER fools my meter.
PS - Great experiment. Thanks for the data.
THIS is exactly right. I'll post more seperately to ensure to get Steve's eye, but the only time it makes sense to subtract fiber is when the fiber occurs within the carb-laden food. Adding exogenous carbs to pump up fiber levels does NOT reduce the core carb levels of the food with the carbs! More to come in my seperate post.
This is exactly what I’ve been doing! If there’s no natural fiber in a keto product I’m looking to buy, I will not purchase it.
1 tbs psyllium husk has 4 grams of carbs and 3.5 grams of fiber so the 3.5 grams would actually subtracted from the psyllium husk and not the Oreo cookie.
The Keto Twins linked over to this. Thanks for doing this extensive study and I’m disappointed about the Carb Balance as well.
Thanks for being our guinea pig Steve! As for me, when I want a tortilla I'll stick with your 90 second tortilla!
It’s the very Best ever
Steve, your description of your flatulence - "in terms of bark and bite" - always makes me laugh out loud. It's something we all can relate to without getting the full details. Thanks for suffering for the sake of science.
lol Therese, Steve-O is the best.
😂😂😂
Darnit Steve, those mission carb balance were my favorite! I think I was just in denial thinking they were harmless. Well, goodbye Mission carb balance. Thanks Steve for being our test subject :)
Try the La Banderita... I've gotten very small rises with those.
@@bloozedaddy unfortunately they don’t sell those where I live. I wonder if I can order them
@@bullheadedopinion6399 4 packs for $12 on Amazon
I know but what are we going to do
This supports my theory that eating what I call Frankenfoods kicks me out of ketosis and triggers cravings. I do much better and feel much better when sticking to Whole Foods and using lettuce as a wrap. Thanks for doing these tests as I don’t check my blood sugar.
Dang. Broke my heart. I see those mission tortillas everywhere. Now I am really broken. I was shocked at the readings. How they almost mirrored the street tacos. Going to have to do some serious thinking on my next steps. I am a low carb kid not a real Keto. But as a type 2 diabetic I always try not to go too nuts with the glucose spikes.
I like your 90 second tortilla. I have type 2 diabetes, am not on drugs so I depend on a fairly strict keto diet. Have lost weight and feel good. I generally find something I like and use it to the exclusion of store bought items. Thank you for all you do.
Steve, thanks so much for doing this. I was surprised at some of the results too. I’ve been using Egglife for a while now and just yesterday used it as a pasta replacement in my lasagna. It was delish!!! Expensive? Nope, cheap when I consider the NO-cost to my health!
Yeoman’s work, Steve! The “keto”label is the new “low fat” label. Popular, but means nothing and does not take food quality into account. If I’m going to burn 20g carbs on a tortilla I’ll make my own! It’s about 100x more tasty and I can make it with olive or avocado oil and no sugar. Thanks for your work it is so helpful!
Thanks for this my friend. Without those Banderita tortillas, I'm not sure I would've lasted as long as I have! 5 years and counting.
Hey Steve, upgraded my membership level as a result of all your help during the tortilla series since sometimes saying thank you doesn't seem quite enough. Great job. After you do one of these I find myself getting more aggravated that my GP will not prescribe a continuous glucose monitor for me! I've read all over the Internet about how much trouble us type 2 diabetics have trying to get what is considered something only type ones need. I'm so sick of poking myself so many times, LOL, although I have learned a lot. I told my doctor that I burned through so many test strips I can't retire! This is why I really appreciate you going through these things. Not that our glucose levels will be the same but just seeing how you're able to get the results makes me press forward until the day comes that I will be allowed to buy my own CGM! With your help I've gone from 7.6 to 6.3
Explain to your doctor that all you want is the prescription for the CGM and that you are willing to pay for it out-of-pocket, if required. Have him note in your chart that you requested the monitor and he refused it. That usually gets them to go ahead and prescribe one for you.
@@rpl1421 wow what a great idea thank you for that feedback I will give it a try on my next visit
You are very welcome! If you are clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I think your medical insurance will cover a CGM. Your doctor may be refusing to help you with this because he/she doesn’t know how to use it in conjunction with a proper human (very low carb) diet.
@@lisae1032 Yep, that's what I did too. My plan was to pay out of pocket for 3 months' worth just to get a sense of my reaction to specific foods. I ended up finding it very motivating so I've kept it up. It is expensive and honestly our insurance is stupid for not supporting us to stay motivated. But it is what it is.
I am a type 2 and am on Medicare. Medicare will not pay for a CGM. My doctor did give me a prescription but I pay out of pocket. Needless to say, I use one infrequently. It gives good info but mainly for trends. The Levels software that Steve uses is SO much better than the Freestyle Libre itself. Good luck on your quest.
Thanks Steve, the Mission results are disappointing but pretty much expected. It looks like I'll probably settle for using the La Banderita or Ole Xtreme from the last video if I am not in the mood for Egglife wraps. Thanks for the commentary at the end. It pretty much reaffirms my thought that modified wheat flour is probably just a farse and really isn't terribly different than regular wheat flour in our bodies.
I love the Ole Xtreme....and will use the Egglife for "pasta" that was a wonderful suggestion....I live in Texas and I'm NOT giving up tortillas
Carb balance doesn't spike me, you might want to give them a shot and see how it is for you.
Most of the ‘low carb’ are basically flour tortillas. I love the Egglife because there’s no sketchy ingredients and can be used for so many things.
I agree I love the taste and the texture of them we use them to make individual pizzas they work perfectly
Thanks for doing this testing. My husband loves the Carb Balance but I told him the ingredients are highly suspicious. Thanks for backing me up!
Yes! And they cost quite a bit more, which is a huge rip-off!
Hmm...I've noticed that tortillas made w/lard do not spike the same as vegetable shortening/oil. This is based on years past~pre-keto, but "low carb" & tracking husband's blood sugar~as he was diagnosed "pre-diabetic" ten yrs ago. They also did not cause nearly the inflammation
We only count total carbs now for obvious reasons- cannot trust pre-packaged #'s, nor that a body will respond the same as any other, or even the same twice. Since looking at total carbs only, we have further honed both our grocery bill & the consistency of our GKI numbers. Definitely the way to go for us.=)
Thanks again for your efforts & all the useful data Steve~ serious trooper you are!
Steve, thank you for doing this. I am glad the tortilla I like is the winner! Sorry that you went through all the inflammation and losing Nutrional ketosis.
Yay! La Banderita happens to be the kind I use. Rarely do I discover I've made the right choice when there are so many options so I'm a bit tickled. Thank you so much. I rarely ever eat anything like that but it's good to know it's a safe choice. Thanks for being our human guinea pig once again. (Loved the shirt series.) I really like the idea of cutting the Egglife Wraps into strips for soups or things of that nature.
Your content is so helpful and beneficial for those of us doing keto.SO MANY products labeled as "keto" arent, and effects our results and weight loss. Cant thank you enough!!
Thank you so much for the kind words. 🙂
Thank you! I am what Dr. Sten Ekberg calls "carbohydrate intolerant." I am very strict with carbs. I am so happy to learn about Egg Life. They are on my list of things to try. The rest, tho I grew up on Mexican food, I will have to leave behind. It's not worth the price of weight gain, insulin spikes, and inflammation.
Theres a few more tortillas! Part 3 can be these: A la Madre low carb corn tortillas, Tia Lupe Corn/Cactus Tortillas, Tortilla Plug Beet/Corn tortillas, Tortilla Plug's nopal/corn tortilla... They all have pretty much clean ingredients...theres also, the Mr. Tortilla brand they make several, but use canola oil.
Sigh.
How about the gluten free keto low carbs ones?
Steve, this is a textbook example of taking one for the team. Thank you very much I've already shared the first video with quite a few people. I think this will help many.
One of your best series yet! Thank you so much for the investment of time and money to show us the evils of these "keto" foods. We love using La Banderita Carb Counters for that "authentic" taste but still being somewhat keto. I'm glad they are readily available at our local Kroger here in Michigan. Thanks again Steve!
No more Mission low carb for me. Thanks for taking one for the team!
Thank you for these tests, You're doing the Lord's work here Steve. Getting my Mexican wife to do keto is going to be much easier with a decent tortilla option.
Thank you, sincerely appreciate you wearing and testing tortilla so I can choose one to go with low carb (keto) most the time.
One of the keto RUclipsrs that's a doctor (don't remember which one) says you should count total carbs on processed foods. I think your test shows why!
I use egglife to make enchiladas. As long as your filling is seasoned well, I think they taste great. I get the texture of a tortilla without the carbs. I wish there was one with corn flavor though.
Thanks for all the testing and sharing the results! Very helpful!
I love your animal shirts! So funny🤣
Sent some $ your way through your website (can't stand the fact that someone else gets a cut of your memberships) for going through this taste test. So much appreciated. Have been using the Mission brand sparingly but now I know why they taste so good. Hope your inflammation goes away soon and thanks again.
I saw that donation this morning. Thanks much!
Hooray for part two! This is so incredibly helpful and I can’t wait to take this knowledge and put it to use next taco Tuesday. Thank you once again for all your hard work testing all these tortillas!
Great review! Thanks!
LA Banderita keto tortillas are the best option if you are going to do dirty keto. Eating those puts you miles ahead if your willpower breaks and you go binge on something else because you couldnt have a taco on family taco night.
Thank you for testing these .
Thanks for this. Very helpful.
Great part 2!
Amazing 👏. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

That was very informative. Thank you!!!
Great, very helpful video. Thanks!
I was buying mission because that's all my store sold but from now on I will be buying la banderita online. Thanks for testing them for us.
Thanks for being our guinea pig you do qlot for your viewers and we appreciate you
So informative! Thank you for the great info
Thank you…this was very interesting and informative and I appreciate the content.
Thanks Steve! Really enjoyed this series and learned stuff along the way!
Thank you Steve! Big help!
Great job, Steve.
Thank you Steve. This helped alot. !!!!!🥰
Wow, thank you Steve. Thank you for taking all the hits on these. Excellent info.
Thanks for doing this! Appreciate it! Plus love the awesome t- shirts!
Thanks for linking part 2. Love the shirts!
Thank You for these two videos. Very informative!!!
This was very helpful and informative! Thank you for doing this.
Thanks for your research & information!!! You are very much appreciated!!!
This is such fantastic information. Thank you very much!!!!!
Thank you Steve for putting yourself out there for us!! Very interesting and I am taking your suggestions!!
Honestly I think my results on KETO initially were so successful because no processed goods were available & we were forced to cook from scratch, which I sincerely believe is healthier no matter what "diet" one is on. Once the big food companies begin developing "KETO" products they find ways around the "rules". They do this with all products, not just KETO. Look at Greek Yogurt, once it became popular every yogurt company made some version, but if you look at the ingredients they've added pectin to thicken instead of straining etc... it's unfortunate, but honestly making foods from scratch is the better way to go, that's why your recipe development is greatly appreciated, at least by me...
You are exactly right!
I think Keto foods have become a gimmick food companies can charge extra for and why I stopped buying these products. Sometimes the portions they suggest can be misleading and who uses those minute portions they suggest?
GREAT points.
Bravo sir. Fantastic tortilla journey. Thank you for your sacrifices.
Thanks Steve for all your testing and evaluation.
Awesome review Steve 👏. Bark and Bite...too funny!
I learned somuch from this video, it just reinforces the bad effects of over processed wheat.
Thank you for doing tortilla review, very helpful info!
Now the fart squirrel shirt makes sense..lol! I knew those Aldi wraps were too good to be true, I stopped eating them when I noticed they made me feel hungry an hour later. I'm playing it safe and making my own egg wraps. Thanks for great video!
Thanks for taking one for team keto! I've been having a Mission tortilla with bacon & eggs every day, but now I think I need to do some testing of my own. I'm not religious about testing unless I eat something that makes me feel like crap, but I should probably take more control. This definitely is motivation to do so. Appreciate you!!
So so very interesting! Great information. Thank you
Thanks Steve, love the shirts!!
Thanks for being the lab experiment. Love tortillas and this series helped a lot.
Thank you Steve for your reviews, I truly appreciate you for doing these asI rely on your opinions.
Thank you Steve, this is very interesting. ❤️❤️
Thank you for putting your body through all this for all of us to benefit from your tests.
The testing has been very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for this review, it confirmed what I was thinking.
just watched this two part series again. thanks so much for testing these products.
Thanks for taking one for the team. 🙂
Excellent work on this 2 part tortilla test
Very helpful
Thank you
Thanks for the video. It was very informative and useful.
I appreciate your 2- part review. It was so helpful and informative. My thanks.
There are so many reasons this was appreciated. Just so you know...
One reason is the $ you've saved thousands of households for as long as utube lasts, from having to purchase and toss out, every product you test.
Reason two is the $ and bad reactions saved by those who do not own a glucose tester.
The third reason is, for providing a safe place to refer clients we have taught for 35 plus years, not necessarily Keto, but low carb/anti inflammatory, auto immune deficient, no symptom treating, life style change diets to. Whew that was a mouthful and what a relief. You're showing not only proof, but if you react with inflammation, you relay that too. So from you, it's a 2 for 1.
#4, not everyone cooks from scratch, and those of us who do, we sometimes run into fast food needing emergencies, and travel time and you help with safe foods.
Just so you know, the number you have helped is way above 1, just today, alone.
Last but not least, from somebody who has created recipes since before the internet, and rotating menu plans just to let people know how much they DO get to eat, yet doesn't want a you tube, thank you again!
Thanks for the info and the work/inflammation appreciate it !
Excellent review Steve. Really appreciated this one and the post game analysis. Lot of food for thought there!
Great reviews Steve. I suspected as much. Too funny with the reactions. Thank you for all your testing.
Steve you are the best. I really enjoy your channel 👍🏻 Thank you
Steve, I highly appreciate, thank you so much for your taste and glucose tests. Keep up the good work.
Taking one for the team. Well done Steve!
La Banderita makes a street taco size with zero net carbs and is my favorite. Thank you for this video, it was very interesting.
This is great information and gives us all a path to heal , thank you.
Thanks for the comprehensive tortilla review. I thoroughly enjoyed your T-shirt collection :)
Keto done dirty! This is proper testing.
Man o man too, those shirts just get me laughing.
Thank you Sir it seems I've been choosing wisely❤️
You are a brave soul my friend!
Thanks so much for doing all the dirty work on the tortillas. I found it very helpful.
Thank you Steve for sacrificing your health for us. Very informative.
Amazing work Steve. Thank you for doing this for us so we didn't have to. The noodle idea from the egg tortilla is genius!
You went through a lot for this experiment! Thank you!!! I'm so glad I didn't have to do that! 🙌
Great review! You’re always taking it for the team. And “bark and bite”? Bwahahaha!
Your testing of low-carb tortilla products is very much appreciated. I know that it takes quite some time to go through all the testing. I had mentioned this in another video, but I have the same problem with the FreeStyle Libre CGM. Likewise, I have had at least 6 bad sensors over the past year, and Abbott has replaced all of them. I record the differences between the sensor and finger sticks and provide them with that data.
