My favorite type of food is Mexican food . I love French fries but have found a healthy way to still have them will I ever be able to enjoy a burrito (kids size) lol or chicken tacos again ? Are they loaded with carbs. Just a question I'm not saying I'm going to do it or anything so please dont judge me.

Oh I love this topic! lol

I had some soft shell chicken tacos but noticed that the corn tortillas filled me up so I don't eat all the tortilla anymore and it is usually one taco. A burrito on the other hand just can't do it. I think it is the flour tortilla but I have to eat the insides and leave the tortilla and also no rice. What is the healthy way for french fries?

If you make tacos or burritos at home, you can use a low-carb flour tortilla.

I just do Mexican food without any kind of tortilla or shell. Just as good if you ask me!

@@Babbs So true. Even before my surgery, I would make tacos and the kids would have them in shells and I would usually put the filling on top of lettuce like a taco salad.

I don't even mess with the tortillas anymore. Because I don't eat enough as it is (nor do I get enough protein) I try to eat the essentials only. I just get full so fast.

I actually made chicken tacos for dinner about 2 days ago. I put the meat in a bowl with some cheese, it was great and I didn't even miss the tortilla.

I just got Chipotle the other night and it was awesome. No rice or tortilla, just a burrito bowl. I got 4 delicious meals out of it!

Substituting a piece of lettuce as a tortilla is quite delicious. I love to eat Thai chicken lettuce wraps and look forward to using lettuce in place of all types of bread (buns, tortillas, etc).

So, at Chipotle, you can get double everything except meat for free. I get no rice, double Beans, double fajita veggies, barbacoa, extra cheese, sour cream, salsa and it's delicious! For me, too, it's 4 or 5 meals and I enjoy every bite.

When i go out to the Greek gyro place, I order a chicken gyro and instead of fries they substitute steamed veggies. I always take off the pita bread and eat some of the chicken and veggies. Bring a lot home for two more meals. I love Greek gyros

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
