But first a confession: I had a bunch of sugar last weekend. And by a bunch, I mean probably 1/4 of what I would have eaten in a sitting in the past. But after not having any for two months it felt like a ton. It tasted oh so good going down...(my sister made Butterfinger puppy chow, y'all)...but then I paid for it. I felt so incredibly sick. Pounding headache, upset stomach, all I wanted to do was lay in bed and slip into a coma. I may or may not have had this conversation with Lamar:
Yeah it was a nice cheat (aside from the wanting to die part), but it really just confirmed to me that I am doing the best thing for my body by getting rid of that junk on a daily basis.
Onto the lettuce wraps though!
These don't need a whole lot of explaining...basically I just take everything I would have put on my ex-bff white bread, and stuff it into a giant romaine leaf. My favorite easy combo is turkey, Havarti, tomato and avocado. The Havarti and avocado give the wraps enough creaminess that I don't feel the need to put dressing on them, but you just do whatever your little heart desires. I usually eat five big leaves stuffed full, and all for under 350 calories! They are so filling I don't even miss the chips or crackers I would have normally eaten with a sandwich.
Some good variations are BLT wraps, Club sandwich style wraps, Fajita style wraps, Asian chicken wraps, etc. The possibilities are pretty much endless folks.
There ya go! Happy low carb sugar-free lunch to you all!
Yum. Looking forward to you posting the Asian Chicken wrap recipe.
