Something as simple as walking around can spike your BGL up by 10-15 points. For a true blood glucose test you need to remain seated the entire time. Also I lost 40lbs in 4 months of keto and I had 1 or 2 sometimes even 3 of these tortillas per day. They are amazing and they are a keto best friend!!!

[@shantechavis2489]

I love these!!

[@ronaldmalcolm5609]

Btw, bake them at 400 for 5 minutes and they make GREAT pizza crust or tostada shell. Cut it up into triangles and bake or fry into nachos. My mom uses them for low carb ruebens and I like them for BLTs it turkey club wraps. Blood sugar also rises with stress.

Did you know eating fat causes the body to ketose more heavily. The solid fats ( butter, bacon fat, steak trimmings, etc) help the most with ketosis, providing energy and satisfying appetite. Dr. Atkins book titled Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution, explains it all. I always apply it to my diet, it helps so much.

[@Shalom_Mike]

Could be that they are more complex carbohydrates and therefore the slightly raised BSL for an extended period of time could be that digestion process is having to work longer to break them down into simple carbohydrates. The benefit is you are not hitting a BSL spike but rather experiencing a flattened curve. It would have been interesting to see what your Ketone levels were at the 30 and 60 minute marks. When doing a test like this where the BSL doesn't spike but is slightly raised over a longer period of time, it would be nice to extend the test to the 3 hour mark.

[@mimi-422]

As a long time diabetic (over 40 years) all testers have a margin of error. I can test twice in a few minutes and get two different results. Your results were well within any margin of error. Something like taking a vitamin c can increase your blood sugar as can the size of the drop and if you are dehydrated.

Just have one tortilla/burrito with a bunch of fat (egg, chorizo, bacon, sausage etc) and you should be fine. Fat lowers blood sugar and makes you really full. Also be sure to take apple cider vinegar capsules after every meal. That helps lower blood sugar as well. 😉

These tortillas were my go-to food during the time I was losing weight using dirty keto. I lost 60 pounds in 7-8 months, 10 pounds below my goal. Sometimes I ate them 3 times a day. I use them for cheese quesadillas at breakfast, (don't like eggs) using the microwave. Lunch, anything you can think of can go in them. Barbeque, taco meat with cheese, shredded roast, and ham and cheese are some of my favorites. Any kind of keto veggie can be added as well. I have even warmed the tortilla and then put peanut butter and keto jelly on one. For a desert I put them in the air fryer, between two racks so it doesn't fly around, for 4-5 minutes and then spread butter on them. I also made desert burritos by heating them in the microwave them adding butter and monk fruit sweetener, adding a few sliced strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries to the butter and sweetener make a dreamy desert. I'm 6th generation Texan so I have to have my tortillas. The ways to use them are unlimited.

[@DrLauraRPalmer]

Lord knows how much you would’ve lost if you wasn’t eating all the cheaper processed dirty keto foods. 60lbs is dam good though. Dirty keto only sets you up to eat trashy and you’ll end up back over weight before long if you don’t change the way you eat over all. Once you get to a certain age eating like that is disturbing. You age faster too.

I'm T2 diabetic. I was eating these a lot. My A1C went up .3 and my Triglicerides rose to almost 300. So I did a similar test. I saw a glucose spike of at least 35 points. To contrast this, ice cream (not sugar free) bumps me 10 points. So I stopped eating them. I A1C returned to normal levels and my Triglicerides dropped to 100. I'm hearing that there is a loophole in labeling laws that lets you treat the carbs from fiber separately from the total carbs, which causes a misleading Net carb count.

[@Gee-Raf]

I eat them once in a blue moon. I am diabetic so I test all the time. These don't spike my BS too much, about 15 points and they don't knock me out of ketosis. My daughter and I tend to make tortilla chips out of them. A little olive oil, some Himalayan sea salt and bake about 10 minutes. Tasty!

Do they get crispy enough to turn into a chip texture ?

Because they did not get crispy enough

@@will195 yes, 425 degrees for 3 minutes or so then rotate pan in the oven (not flipping the chips) because oven cooks unevenly, then 2 more minutes. I have to adjust this if I am cooking a second batch on a hot pan. Maybe 30 seconds or a minute less. Your cooking times may vary.

He is super thin, has not had a problem with being overweight. He stays in ketosis for a neurological condition he has. I have 1 every other day or so, and I’m consistently in ketosis. I had been strictly keto, but last month I’m eating dirty keto, but I keep carbs under 20 total. I’m now 20 lbs overweight, insulin resistant and have lost over 160 lbs. you do need to cook these first, I usually pan fry in butter or coconut oil on med high. I freeze the bag of them and take them out ( might need to carefully separate with a sharp knife if frozen together) and them fry in butter for just a couple minutes a side, then use in tacos or quesadillas. I think my husband would not stay on the keto diet if he didn’t have these. Thanks!

[@200Nora]

The problem with net carbs is that it gradually but surely creates a glucose spike that keeps on going for longer. If you only go to the first hour and expect to be at or close to baseline you are wrong. That is the problem with most keto tortillas and most net carbs. That's why I go with the total not net most of the time. I occasionally take the net but they total needs to be no more than 14 carbs. So I encourage people trying to work on their blood glucose to check at least twice postprandial. It takes like 3 and even 4 hrs to bring the glucose back down to where you feel comfortably. .

I have been a part of a keto support group for several years. We regularly do the same kind of BG tests that you did. It has been our experience that processed foods that add in fiber to get the "net carbs" down tend to have a delayed reaction in spiking BG. They often start spiking after the one hour reading and keep going even as long as four or more hours. When it comes to processed foods and net carbs,... test, test and keep testing before you make them a part of your pantry. As one of our coaches observed, "Adding a lot of psyllium to an Oreo cookie may lower the net carbs but it will not make a "keto friendly" snack.

Eating fat causes the body to ketose more heavily, especially the solid fats ( butter, bacon fat, steak trimmings ). Fat also provides energy while ketosing and satisfies the appetite, again, the solid fats help the body much more with these functions when ketosing.

[@carolsmith1215]

Hi Kristie. I’ve been watching you for a while now. Some observations. When we eat a high fiber food, absorption is slower. So, your BG level at two hours isn’t surprising. I’ve tried this brand, and as a diabetic who is trying to stay off insulin, they send me too high and take forever to come down. I only buy the Ole ones, they’re flax and I seem to be able to tolerate them. As for ketones, I test with strips, and I only get a minimal reading in the morning. So I don’t bother. I only check really now after eating too many carbs, my cheat days. Sometimes I just want Panera 🙃 I have found I can actually cheat two days in a row before knocking me out of ketosis. But as long as I’m losing weight, that’s my goal. I’m down 25 from my highest a few years ago. Insulin only made me gain weight. So now I’m trying to force my body to use insulin it seems to be still making. It’s been a battle, and my BG is nowhere near as low as yours, because I am insulin resistant. I do take Berberine in order to assist with insulin control. Thanks for your videos! When I get back to Tennessee later this year, I’m going to have to check out Aldi. 😉

[@gaylecrisp5486]

Hi How long have you been taking Berberine? Do feel like it is helping any? Which brand do you take?

[@carolsmith1215]

gayle crisp Hello. I’ve been taking Berberine probably for the better part of three years. I did research first, and did not want to take metformin. When I was diagnosed I was immediately put on insulin by an epidemiologist. Worst decision ever. So, as to brand. I take Thorne Berberine 500 mg. Two a day, and I’m on automatic delivery. I tried a number of other products/sources of Berberine., trying to reduce cost, but most did not provide the same results. So, I’ve stuck with the Thorne product. Not all products use the same source of their Berberine. I deliberately looked for a source that used the same plant as the one in the study I found at the NIH website. Berberine works best in the presence of insulin, so I try to take with or just before a meal that has some carbs. I have used in successfully to lower my blood sugar instead of taking insulin, that is if I’m not really high. Hope this helps👋🏻

I keep chuck eye steak when I can find it ready to sear. Also chicken in my freezer for a quick burrito . That’s a secret to being successful in keto. Have food on hand to go to.

I read that fiber products (which this is) can have a slower effect on blood sugar, so perhaps that is why... although it was still not a big spike.

[@banksta3]

I've decided that these will be what I use when I want a "cheat day".

[@judyplante7328]

I have never tried the flour kind but I do once in a great while have the Mission Carb Balance Spinach & Herb. Thanks for doing these tests, it helps keep us aware of how certain products may effect us! :)

[@tonjabowman7208]

I was hoping there wasn't a bad response because the missions are absolutely how i am able to control my carbs . And lose weight, so i will take your results as a win for me and limit them but help me feel less deprived, and feel like i can enjoy pizza, fajitas, cheese steaks with the rest if my family eating regular take out . They work for me . Thank you for the test. I pan fry mine with butter and garlic powder before filling, also deep fry in olive oil for nachos during the football game. I cut into triangle shapes and fry

I've been trying to lose weigh myself and wanted to know if these really help? I only eat 2 per day

[@johnwoodard8717]

I gained 5 pounds eating these, but mostly because it kicked me out of low carb "mode" and I gained back the 5 pounds of water you need to process carbohydrates. I quit them and the 5 pounds disappeared.

[@evelynrodriguez7112]

Yeah these tortillas are great for me personally but I’m also not keto but I’m moderate with my carbs

[@redhatpat9387]

Meters are "allowed" to have a +/- variance of 20% Plus, some ingredients have a delayed digestive reaction and you don't always see accurate info within the standard testing window.

[@decolonizeEverywhere]

It makes absolutely perfect sense that your blood glucose levels would start going up after 2 hours. The whole reason why the net carbs end up so low isn't because you're starting out low carb, it's because the fiber slows the absorption of the carbs. So now you're just absorbing them 2 hours later instead of 1/2 hour or 1 hour later. Same carbs just slower absorption.

If you are strict keto you may not like this product. But for older overweight people like me this is an acceptable way to keep carbs low and enjoy food in moderation. My complaint is they are 2x the price.

[@SouthernKristi]

100% agree🤗

[@carnivoreessie]

I do not have any problems with this brand and I love the taste of these and the spinach ones when I fill them with keto foods. They are not meant to be eaten just plain, I wouldn't think. I have even toasted them and used them for various reasons.

[@goofygirl1311]

I have the Mission Zero Carb tortillas. They are small and supposedly have 7 carbs with 0 net carbs once you subtract the fiber. At only 25 calories each, even if your body absorbed all 7 of those carbs, I can't see that totally derailing you out of ketosis for long. Even if you ate 3 of them you would only be eating 21 carbs and 75 calories - still within the allowable carb limit for keto assuming you keep the rest of your meals zero carbs. Even if you get bumped out of ketosis I would think that some exercise and a little fasting would put you right back into ketosis. I don't plan to eat them every day but I'll use them on taco nights and to make mini pizzas from time to time. As far as warming the tortillas go, I just microwave for about 30 seconds, top with whatever I'm filling them with and bake in the oven for about 7 minutes. You can also pop them in your air fryer.

A lot of fiber slows glucose response. I usually at the highest between 2-3 hours after eating these.

[@Howard892]

I'm down 25lbs since November 30th. Christmas holidays made it hard but still managed to lose 2.9lbs each week since starting. I Will not say I'm full keto. I still eat beans and some chips. But follow a very strict calorie intake based off weight and try to get minimum 6k steps a day with minimum 30mins of strictly walking time. I did this same thing in 2019 and lost somewhere between 70 and 80lbs in around 6 months. Felt great and I ate anything that showed a low net carb or low carb. Now back in 2019 I owned my own lawn care and walked anywhere from 12-15k steps 5 days a week. That I believe elevated my weight loss numbers so much quicker.

[@rowenhusky]

Haha. Yup 12-15k steps a day will make you lose weight eating pretty much anything (within reason) much less keto.

[@jasonmiller4786]

I was wrong about this test. I tried the Mission Carb Balanced wraps. My blood sugar went high and stayed high. The fiber in them did pack a punch but there was no balance. Wheat products aren't good Keto (for me).

[@laborsave8034]

I would revisit that and pack out the tortilla shell with meat cheese avocado lettuce.

Pls do comparison video for the new “Zero Carb” Tortillas from Mission…

[@decolonizeEverywhere]

They taste much better if you toast them lightly in a dry pan. It gives them a little freshening up and sort of takes away the spongy doughy consistency.

[@wayjamus2775]

Usually when testing a food, the interval is 1/2 hour, 1 hour and 2 hours. Even if accurate, it may very well be that the insulin is finally kicking in. That would be a normal response. Where are you getting that it should be going down? The 2 hour test is no more significant than the one hour test. It just shows that your response is delayed. If 102 was all I had to worry about as a diabetic, I'd be happy indeed. But I'm type 2, so things may be different for you.

[@treyg2010]

I like to fry mine in fat, flip and put cheese of them fold them so it makes a hard taco shell. Then I fill them with meat and veggies and sauces and it comes out amazing. You can do so many combinations with them

Thank you for doing these reviews. I recently bought carb balance tortillas and carbquik. I just got into ketosis and don't want to get kicked out lol. Mahalo.

[@rodmunch69]

Your videos are very useful. I used to use these many years ago when doing Atkins and they never knocked me out of a keto burn. Also, YES, I did eat these plain like you did, just because I had nothing to go in them - and they were not the best, and like you discovered, when eating them plain they seem huge. However, used for tacos, just adding some hamburger meat and cheddar cheese, they were great, at least by low carb standards. I've tried the wheat kind of low carb as well and really didn't like them at all - certainly not for tacos, but I'll have to try them again as maybe a sandwich wrap.

[@juliehadley8336]

I laughed out loud when your ketones actually went up when you feared the worst. I realize that this may sound silly but, do you think you could sometime try the Meijer carb watch tortilla shells and see if the results are the same? Not all fiber-rich tortillas are equal and I personally use the Meijer ones because they are cheaper than the Mission ones. I'm a big fan of using them for burgers (like a Taco Bell crunchwrap but with a cheeseburger inside), fajitas, and breakfast burritos. Thanks again for doing these tests for us!

The massive amount of fiber slowed your digestion significantly. That's why your sugar was up at the 2 hour mark. I'm curious what the 3 hour reading might be.🤔

[@marysekely9571]

Flour converts to sugar, therefore your sugar will go up. It also indicates a possible insulin resistance issue. This is what happens to me when I used to eat flour products but mine would spike high and then I would drop fast and go way too low. It resulted in seizures. Since starting Keto 16 months ago I have not had one issue with my blood sugar going low. I am also not a diabetic. But I do eat these at least once or twice a week. These are my bread for sandwiches and breastfast burritos. I also use Ole's. They are much thinner and come in flavors. I use Mission to make crackers. They are fantastic! Cut them in triangles, put them in a bowl and pour about 2 teaspoons of olive oil or any oil you want to use onto the triangles. toss them and rub the oil on them with your fingers. Layer then on your air fryer racks. Sprinkle them with kosher or sea salt. Bake them in the air fryer at 400 for 8 minutes, no longer, sometimes 7 minutes work. Watch them carefully, they actually fly. Let them cool completely. They are even crispier the next day but this satisfies my crunch factor. Great in soups, with cheese, dipped in peanut butter or guacamole or salsa.

Thanks, i'll try that

[@createbytorya9936]

I see your 2hr Post Prandial blood sugar of 102 ok. You should check it for 1 more hour(3hr check). After 3hrs of consuming a "meal" your body should've reacted and returned back to its pre-glucose stage. Normal BS is 80-120 per textbook guidelines. Edit: And your body did not secrete a ton of insulin for that 1 wrap to go back down to the '80s. Your body is preparing for food consumption so you may not go back until your overnight sleep(fasting after eating for the day)or you continue to fast and you could go under your baseline bc not enough in your body. Looks like a great result compared to mine(Diabetes2).

So I started keto a few weeks ago. I was seeing the scale go down almost daily and then I found these exact tortillas at Walmart so I tried them. I ate them for 2 days and the next few days the scale stayed the same. I stopped eating them and it started moving again. I didn’t test glucose or ketone levels so I can’t exactly say that this was the reason but I think I will only have them once in a blue moon. Great video BTW
