Can you eat pita bread on the atkins diet




















Various chemicals, enzymes, etc. Any thoughts about the actual ingredients? I wish there was an easy way for me to make that happen. I am planning to add nutritional information, but not until the editing project is done. These can be found in shoprites nn. I buy them often. Curious why you say you use them sparingly spairngly because? A few comments about them. I use these to make Iraqi sabich sandwiches which are a mouthful. These pitas work well with heavy fillings as long as you dont pocket them.

Too flimsey. Maybe try googling it to see if you find one? Thanks for the recipes. They are in the bread aisle usually on the bottom shelf. Kalyn…so funny that I just came across this, I found those pitas once randomly at our Walmart and I loved them! I haven't seen them in my regular grocery store, so I am going to make it a point to go back and pick some up at Walmart soon.

I didn't realize they made tortillas too! This is going to sound funny but it is great. I take these pitas grill up chicken with taco seasoning and make awesome low carb, low calorie and high protein delicious soft shell tacos.

Thanks for this post Kalyn! You totally influenced my buying last night. Throwing away the simple carbs lying around your house will help keep you on track during your diet. Here is a list of high carb foods to avoid while following Atkins low carb diet:.

Though this has already been mentioned, make sure to get rid of any white bread in your fridge! Just like white bread, regular pasta is another high carb food that will not fit into a low carb diet very easily. Once you reach Phase 4 , you can enjoy whole wheat pasta. Until then try Zucchini Pasta with Almond Pesto.

Even if you decide to cut down on carbs, you can enjoy one whole-wheat pita each day and be well under the recommended servings. Better yet is to choose high-quality carbs that are less processed and retain more of their natural fiber, which offsets the potential blood sugar spikes that come with digesting simple carbs. Choose a whole-grain or whole-wheat pita over one made with white or all-purpose flour for the best nutritional benefits.

The calories in one large round of whole-wheat pita bread tend to sit at around kcal , making it a reasonably low-calorie grain. While whole wheat options tend to be a little higher in calories, they're also higher in fiber, taking longer for your stomach to digest and keeping you full for longer. Fiber is an easy way to cut down your calorie intake naturally.

The "fattening" debate is always a bit loaded, and the question is a little short-sighted. In terms of the macronutrient fat content, pitas contain a measly 1. Eating a pita won't make anyone gain weight, just like other foods won't, as long you're keeping overall calories in mind. Besides health conditions that may contribute, the only thing that matters is a simple math equation: making sure that the calories you eat are less than the calories your body burns each day will lead to weight loss.

Since the calories contained in pita flatbread are relatively low, you'd need to eat many pitas or a lot of other food each day to have them contribute to weight gain. Pita bread and traditional bread loaves contain almost identical ingredients and are therefore very comparable in nutrition.

Side-by-side, bread contains a little more fiber and slightly fewer carbs than a pita, making it a somewhat more nutritious option. Pitas are lower in sodium than bread, so that it may be the best option for those eating a low-salt diet. The main difference you'll see between the two types of bread lies in the quality of the ingredients - a slice of white Wonder bread isn't going to contain the same nutrition or fiber as a whole-wheat pita.

No matter which type of wheat bread you choose, go for the best quality and read your labels. If you're looking for another flatbread option to the pita, consider a wheat tortilla or its gluten-free cousin, the corn tortilla. Are tortillas vegan?

We love a good flatbread, and while pitas reign supreme in Greek and Middle-Eastern culture, almost every culture has its version of this tasty option - try some naan, focaccia, matzah, or roti.

Hi Grace, I think you mean in my book, Better Breads. Yes, they are all dairy free or can be substituted and some are egg free.

Hi Kelley, I am baking your pita bread as I write to you, I have a question: how many are a serving, would it be 1 pita bread, thank you? Could these be frozen? When these came out of the oven I was not optimistic. I was so happy to be wrong!

Thanks for a great recipe! A little psyllium husk can add a lot of structure and flexibility to baked goods. I added more hot water and was able to sort of spoon the mix onto my cookie dough liners. But is there no bending the recipe to use a different alternative flour? I have a Paleo French Bread I make with cassava, arrowroot and gelatin that is wonderful — nut and egg free. Be Well, Kelley. Hi Anne! Thanks for your comment. You can use sunflower seed flour to replace the almond flour — it will work just the same.

Hope you enjoy! I love pita packets. Hi Patricia! You can certainly try! My initial thought is that they would be more like a pancake… and not get the pocket in the middle. Thanks, made pita for lunch today and it was a hit.
