I wanted to look up low carb tortillas on the group archives, but Google is
all different to the point that I don't even get this group at all when I
enter low-carb in the search window. Did they axe us? It is a totally
different format now. Why did they mess with it? It was fine, before.

Wow, you guys are fast! Thanks for the recommendation. I use Mission, too.
What I wanted to find out was whether anyone here has noticed
sugar-alcohol-type reactions from them. I have gotten them, but I couldn't
be sure it was from the tortillas.

not me. I am looking at a package of whole wheat, fajita size right now.
There is sucralose in them, but I don't see any sugar alcohol products.

I didn't find it, that's what Google used to use before they changed
formats. I just bookmarked it.

Ok, go for plan B - build a diet from foods you like that fit your
plan. For example:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.support.diet.low-carb/msg/ecbcc6d21c7a4576
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.support.diet.low-carb/msg/3fea4f31b8517dd4

Erythritol and protein powder let you make all sorts of LC sweets.

Of course, don't replace *everything* this way. Just add enough LC
sweets to keep you on-plan.

Look for the recipies that have you bake cheese into a thin crispy
layer, and use that instead.

If you're into weight lifting (which you should be), look up
"depletion workout".
 
Thanks much for the recipes. A "new food" does wonders and I really like
cream cheese. The pancakes sound like they would also be good made with
pecans, since they may be even softer than macs. What do you think? Also,
the peanut butter thing may be just the ticket to get me past the "yuck"
factor of healthy peanut butter.

I don't know. I like the flavor of macs.
 
Try these Ann, I don't know where you get them in the USA. We like 'em
although I find that wraps are becoming dry so I get radical sometimes and
drench them with low carb salsa to get the lubrication in the mouth working.

Yeah, I'm a Deja user from way back and I really hate the new format.
Way too dumbed down. I have a regular usenet account but I liked
Deja/Google Groups for quick perusing. Now I feel like I'm missing
loads of stuff.
