What’s YOUR LTF Story?!

By Molly Kimball, RD, CSSD

I’m crazy about my La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious High Fiber, Low Carb tortillas.  As a registered dietitian, I love how much fiber & protein they pack in for so few calories, and – nutrition aside – I just love their flavor & versatility.

I pack them in my suitcase for travel, serve ‘em up at our tailgate parties, smear them with peanut butter and a tiny drizzle of honey when I’m looking for something bready & sweet.  My favorite breakfast, hands down, is my LTF wrap with a bit of goat cheese, fig preserves, and packed with fresh turkey or chicken – I tuck one into my purse every morning; it’s quite a daily habit.

And apparently I’m not alone.

One of my clients, a local dentist, takes his LTF passion a step further.  Every year, he brings 300 La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious High Fiber, Low Carb 80-calorie tortillas to a specialty meat market, along with ginormous amounts of venison (or ground chicken breast if it wasn’t such a successful hunting season).  The meat market makes them into burritos by adding a little cheese and their special seasonings, and seals them into packs of three.  My client gets to enjoy them year-round, and he gives them to his patients, as well.

Another client, a sales rep who’s constantly on the road, keeps a pack of LTF tortillas in her car at all times.  She brings them in to any deli, sandwich shop or restaurant that she happens into for lunch, orders whatever sandwich or wrap that looks good to her on the menu, and asks them use her LTF tortilla, instead.

And then there’s my favorite:  one of my colleagues, a personal trainer who’s training for a fitness competition, looooves authentic Mexican food, but really has to keep a close eye on diet for these next few months.  His answer:  He brings his La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious High Fiber, Low Carb 80-calorie tortillas to the neighborhood taco cart where they’ll make him a few fabulously lean, fiber-rich, white-carb-free chicken burritos.

Here’s why we’re all so crazy about these tortillas:  every time you make the switch from a restaurant-style white wrap to one of La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious High Fiber, Low Carb 80-calorie tortillas, you’re not only getting nearly half a day’s worth of fiber, but you’re also saving 210 calories and 26 grams of carbohydrate.  Over the course of a year, this daily swap can make the difference of 76,650 calories, which can translate to loss of more than 20 pounds of body fat – without even trying!
