Net carbs matter to diabetics. After the fiber is subtracted, it lets them know the remaining carbs that will have an impact on blood sugar. Diabetics should be carb counting each meal and stay within certain amount of carbs per meal and snack. They can also subtract half the sugar alcohols, but many times they are not listed. I am an RN and I teach diabetics to make healthier carb choices. I certainly don't know everything, and I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you for what you do!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you sharing your great points! :)
How many net carbs should I have per meal? I'm T2 diabetic.
How many carbs should a diabetic have
I actually learned so much, I'll be checking labels more often for other packaged foods. I love the content on this channel, you don't butcher health into our minds, it's all a matter of mind over munch; a choice.
I'm not a big fan of flour tortillas but I do love corn ones. I get them at my local Mexican grocery store and it's ingredient list is about 5 things. Thanks for the video!
Johanna Medrano
I hate flour tortillas. They taste so dry and almost like plastic.
I'm the complete opposite
@@thesharpestofthorns___9132 not all of them , hand-made flour tortillas are better or the brand “Tia Rosa” but I don’t see that one anymore at the store ms here in USA
El Milagro makes corn tortillas that have 3 ingredients...corn, water and lime. They are the cleanest tortillas I have found so far. Also they don't use GMOs.
awesome choice!
Where do they sell them at?
Hi There how you found them anywhere yet?
These might be sold as Trader Joe's house brand. The only difference is that Trader Joe's does not say anything about GMO's on the package. As a bonus, the package is less than a dollar where I live.
Thank you!
Yay! A new video! I found Mind Over Much just a couple weeks ago, and I just love the channel and your philosophy on healthy eating :)
Original tortillas are made of corn, they have more health benefits and less processed ingredients. Also they are less fatty. Flour or "Tortillas de Harina" are original from the north of México and in places like La Paz they also have milk. Those are the best in my opinion (taste better and also have a bit more health benefits) I'm not sure how you can get them in the US but in México they are pretty much everywhere.
Laura Cortés oh forgot to mention i really love your videos and i found this one pretty cool... smart shopping :)
Laura Cortés that's awesome! Thank you for sharing!! I appreciate it and thanks for watching
thanks to you you are so nice for answering !Realy apreciate it! I have my friends hook up in your channel since i discovered it! Lots of love form México!
Laura Cortés tortillas de leche? No las ubico, nomas hay en la Paz? Soy de sonora y pss están las de harina, manteca y agua pero ni había escuchado de leche, que rico jajaja
Laura Cortés basically. I only eat Corn tortillas. They have them here in the US. :)
Great stuff Alyssia, as always of course! People definitely get mislead with the net carbs claims :)
Always! Sneaky marketing techniques must be exposed!
A nice review of how to read nutrition labels and use them to make the best choices for yourself. Thanks for sharing.
You bet! Thank you for watching!
I love love love your long videos, I missed them during the summer!
Oh that is so good to know! I will do more :) thanks!!
This was so helpful! I need to do better reading labels!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Lulewbelle you are very welcome! Thanks for watching and so glad you found it useful!
Thank you SO much for dedicating your time to bring attention to good eating choices AND by showing us how to figure it out ourselves, (very important) !
+Ronni R My pleasure! Thank YOU so much for watching and understanding that I'm here to help people help themselves, not to tell them what to do :) Cheers!
It was very helpful. Thankyou.
I've never subscribed to a channel so fast. Your realistic approach to making healthy choices has been extremely helpful. Thank you!

i literally have been waitting to find someone to make content like this forever..in complete love with your videos.keep up the great work señorita!!💃😆
+LiveInBeauty20 awesome! I'm so glad you found it useful :) Much love and more content like this to come!
Thank you for these - makes you pay closer attention to what you are purchasing and putting in your body.
My pleasure, so glad you found the information useful! :)
This video is fantastic Alyssa. I didn't know about the order of ingredients and their significance. Amazing what you learn. It's interesting about the hidden ingredients and if you aren't aware, how you can actually fall in a hole and be tricked. Thank you so much for this information, it was so very helpful for me and I'll be looking out for these types of things here in Australia and the products they have on the shelves. Much appreciated girl.
FitAnge S You are so welcome! Yes, they do try to trick us by using all of these health claims! Sometimes the healthiest choices are products that don't make any claims at all, and the only way to know is by reading the label. Unfortunately, they make even that very hard... this is one reason so many people are gaining weight and unable to make progress when they think they're being healthy... These companies make it so difficult to really know what we're eating! Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate you!
Super helpful video --- thank you!!
it's great how 8 years later this is still so relevant, maybe more so? and couldn't find any other video that exaplined it as well as you did. so thank you.
I've been waiting this video for soooo long! really enjoyed it!
N237 yay! So glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Thank you for being so informative! It helps me make better choices. Please keep making more videos like this!
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you find the videos helpful. Definitely more to come! :)
Love this type of video, so informative and easy to understand!
So so glad you found it useful! Thank you!
Thank for all your time and hard work you put in these videos! They are so informative and helpful 👍
thank you Marisa! I appreciate it!
That was the best intro I've seen on similar health videos. Kudos to you for pointing out what ppls personal diet deems healthy is what dictates the healthiest option and that you are just empowering with ingredient information
haha thank you :)
I watched your bread video and it changed the way I read food ingredients. I try for the less is more attitude and it's greatly changed how I buy food. My family is much happier with food! Thank you and keep these coming! There is a great wrap at Trader Joe's (may even be their brand) that has only a couple ingredients and are super yummy! I made quesadilla's for my son and he's in heaven!
Kate Peak that's so great! I'm so glad you found it useful and are able to apply some of those principles to daily life! Fantastic, thank you :) Also thanks for the heads up on the Trader Joe's tortillas! I'll keep an eye out! :) Cheers!
Ever since I'm watching your videos about taking time to look at Nutrition Facts, I've been taking my time whenever I go to the store. I had to check the calories and ingredients every time since not every package that says healthy is actually healthy! Thanks for this! You and Sarah are the best! *thumbsup*
thank you so so much! So glad you're finding it helpful :)
I have been waiting for this video!!! 😍😍 Thanks!!
Fatma Kamal Boor yay! So glad to hear that, thank you for waiting! More like this to come :) Cheers!

Thank you for the tortilla nutritional breakdown! I loved it! I have always struggled with these when I go shopping! The bread video is also fantastic!
amarillis reyes thank you so much! I am so glad you found them useful :)
I just found your channel a few days ago and I've been binge watching a lot of your videos! I'm really into counting my macros and knowing what goes into my food. I've been pretty dedicated to make choices that fuel my body for about 2 years straight now! I do have to say you've opened my eyes to watching my sodium intake, and I can't wait to see other ideas/inspo that I can get from you! Thanks for putting out amazing content. Love, your newest subscriber. :)
I am so glad you are enjoying the channel, thank you! I appreciate your wonderful feedback and am happy to have you here :) Welcome to the channel!
These are great and informative tips to use when shopping for foods. Thanks so much.
+Caroline Agunbiade My pleasure! Thank you!
Thank you this was so helpful 😊
Fiber One is great too! 70 calories and 14 carbs 7 are fiber with decent ingredients as well. They also taste great and hold together excellent!
Yay been waiting for a video like this. Thank you
Rebecca Shearer awesome! You are welcome!
Great video. I love the way you compare the different types of Tortilla
Frankensleeve thank you! So glad you found it useful!
That is THEEEEE best exclamation of tortillas I've ever heard. Thank you for taking the confusion out of this product. I've been eating the mission carb balance for wraps instead of using bread for sandwiches. I will look for the La Banderita brand now.
kelley chiang you are welcome! I am so glad you found it useful! There are other brands that are good choices too but you have to read the label!! :) Cheers!
Thank you you’re helping me a lot
I love this video. I always wanted to know if tortillas were healthy and now I know what to look for :) Huge THANK YOU!!!
+Adriana Medina My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
thank you for this! i have stayed away from tortillas so much because i could never find one with good nutrition facts. i will definitely keep an eye out for the ezekiel ones! 😊
Jasmin Mireles yeah! You are welcome, thank you for watching!
What an amazing video I've been struggling to find a good tortilla for a long time this video helped tons!
thank you! :)
lots of great info. I started cardiac rehab today, I have diabetes and I meet with a dietitian on Monday. Thank you so much for all the great info. Have a great night
Just Jerri that is great! Congrats on your journey :) So glad you found the video useful, thank you!
Great information!
I love your channel!
Claudia Reyna thank you so much!
i love your videos so much, you've helped me a lot because I'm trying to eat healthy and u make some really good points and great tips! very informative:)
+Jessica Marie awesome! I'm so glad you enjoy, thank you!!
Thank you for this video, I was in the new Weis a few days ago looking at tortillas, and I had trouble deciphering between the different options, I just went for whole wheat. Now I know, lol thank you!
thank you!
This was really helpful thanks! I'm that one person who takes 10 minutes in the bread aisle looking at the nutrition labels of tortillas haha. Now I'll be able to find what I'm looking for faster :)
+NoirKittie So glad you found it useful! Thanks!
such a great and informative video. Thanks so much!!!
C Sanchez you are welcome!! Thank you for watching!
Thank you very much for the details you put into this. I do read the ingredients and get heart broken when I realize some of my old favorites are not very good for me or just don't process through my system well anymore. Thank you for your honest opinion of the Ezekiel tortillas. I may still pick up a small pack to try.
thank you! I appreciate it :) The Ezekiel tortillas are still good :)
ezekial is perfect and natural and amazing ahh love it. Thats the definition of grain nutrition right there.
+LKbeauty09 I love Ezekiel too!!
You're amazing! I learn a lot from your videos and you are so adorable! Thanks for the videos !
I'm so glad you're learning! Thank you!! :)
I've never been this early to one of your videos! Thank you for this!
Awesome!! Thank you!!!
I love how informative this was! You should do much much more and make it a series on comparing food items and their health options....just like you did with the pasta sauce in your vlog! :-)
sweetgoodygoody thank you! Great suggestion, I will do more! :)
Thank u so so much for making this video! It's so interesting and informative!!! I eat spinach wraps all the time and I really wish food labels weren't so misleading. Now I know that they're not as healthy as I thought
***** absolutely! They are deceiving and it's unfair. Sometimes the claims can be real, but the only way to know is by reading that label! :) Cheers!
Thank you!
please please make a skin care products video , I looove how you explain everything literally watched every of your videos they are so informative!! thank you so much for being so real
:) Thank you for the request!
Thanks for the great video. It was very informative. Love your hair by the way.
albertemt74 thank you! So glad you found it useful :) I'm loving the shorter hair for summer, thanks!!
Great information to know. I've learned a lot. Thanks for caring to share.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!
Good information, thanks
sophia L you are so welcome!
You're my favorite food girl! ❤️
Yes Román
I like this!
So much great info on label reading. Thank you.
I think the Ezekiel brand is something I could try. I like that the ingredients list is so small plus no hydrogenated oils:))
Cheryl Hock yes! Me too!! Thanks for watching :)
Wow great video.
Im learning a lot from you!
Thank you this was very helpful.
+Misscoolfinds so glad you enjoyed!! thank you
Flat out wraps are awesome!!
Newly subscribed! I'm just so drawn to your videos, your personality is just amazing!! :)) thank you!
Paulynn Yong thank you so much! I appreciate it! Welcome to the channel :)
Thanks for the info!!
Janaly Perez you bet!
Love that you made this video! I'm always confused 👍
Nicole Miller you bet! It's easy to get confused when everyone wants you to think their product is the healthiest! :)
This is honestly so helpful, thank you for this!!!
….
.. Your spanish pronunciations make the video bait uplifting than other food-tubers. :)
TheMeatlessTacos you are so welcome!! Thank you for watching! :)
Thank you for the great info! :D
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Love love love this video! :)
reann silverman thank you! :)
loved this! its also important to note the actual ingredients, I wouldn't touch anything with partially or fully hydrogenated oils, no matter the nutrition label. That's where companies fool you, people are too focused on calories and not focused on the quality of food they're eating. You chose the best one not using those ingredients...The sodium count on these are so high - I found that CORN tortilla are best in terms of whole grains and low sodium, toast em up and they're fabulous!
Lisa Spirito Thats a great tip, I'll have to try toasting a corn tortilla :) Thank you! Yes, ingredients always win. I try to think about what I am putting into my body rather than "how much" when it comes to macros.
Loved this! I personally like the whole wheat tortillas from Trader Joes the best. They literally just have whole wheat, sunflower oil, honey, baking powder, yeast and salt. They are like $3 and freeze well.
Beth Ann Adams that's fantastic! Great tip to share, much appreciated!
Ezekial tortillas!!! I knew it😀Just like the ezekial bread😍😍😍
+Mind Over Munch my favorite tortillas are the uncooked ones from TortillaLand! For me, a short list of ingredients (and being able to pronounce everything) is super important. The stats aren't too terrible either.
Flour (47g): 140 cal, 4g fat, 23 carbs, 3g protein, and they are only made from (in order) wheat flour, water, canola oil, salt and sugar.
Corn (40g): 60 cal, 0.5g fat, 13g carbs (1g fiber), 1g protein, and they are made from water, corn masa, salt, lime, and guar gum.
They taste so fresh and amazing! And the are ready in about a minute. Yummy! Thanks for the great video! I now know what net carbs mean!
1carissa6 Very cool! Thank you so so much for the tip! i will look for them! Cheers :)
I love corn tortillas!!! But thanks for posting this!!! Really helpful :)
Janet Ramirez yes! Corn tortillas are tasty!
this is so helpful thanks!!
+Jana Velez my pleasure!! thank you!
welcome!
thank for the info
+Erica Besbes My pleasure! thank you!
Very well done!!
+Air :) Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hey Alyssia! I love your videos and I've been binge watching them for the last couple of weeks to get through all of them. You and Christian are amazing at what you do! Keep up the good work!!! Question... do you have any tips/info on corn tortillas?
+ladythickythick Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel :) Corn tortillas are a great choice! Especially because most only require 3 ingredients :) Just check out the label for serving size as sometimes corn tortillas are higher in calories for the smaller size, which isn't necessarily bad, but just good to be aware :) Cheers!
Gotcha! Thank you for the response! Have a good night 😊
Thanks for the information. I don’t eat tortillas that often, so even consuming the worst on the list probably won't make much of an impact on my body, but I really try to make good choices anyway.
It's awesome that you're taking an interest in your health and nutrition! Always better to make good choices when we can! Glad this was useful for you :)
Tysm 😍
Great video I have to pay attention to Fat and carbs from my gallbladder surgery I have used Ezekiel Bread for years because of my diabetes I didn’t know they made tortillas too it’s a bit high on fat but it might be tolerable depending what I fill it with thanks
👍👍very useful!
+Alice Wang-Vachev awesome, thank you!
Ole Mexican Foods makes the Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb whole wheat flour tortilla; for a 45 gram serving, it's only 50 calories , has 11 grams of fiber and only 1.5 grams of fat. Net carbs are 5 grams (16 total). Made in America. A nutritional bargain.
tfs!
They are the best ones on the market in my opinion, I especially love the tomato ones
My favorite tortillas are the raw ones from Costco👍🏻so good!
You didn't even mention the fact that most tortillas out there contain partially hydrogenated oils, which are basically trams fats.
+Fish great tip!!
+Mind Over Munch I love to stock up on tortillas at Trader Joe's because theirs are cheap. I get the Ezikiel for wraps but I need white flour tortillas for burritos or I start mentally swearing at gringos (which is weird since I'm white) and their tortillas have no hydrogenated oils, though it does have palm oil, and I really try to avoid gmos. It is sooooo hard to avoid those oil culprits in allllll the other tortillas in the regular store. Trader Joe's, the only place I've found it.
So glad you did this--many people are easily mislead by labels and health claims. Unfortunately for me, most flour/multigrain tortillas contain soy and because soy and I don't get along, I stick to corn tortillas (which I can make at home). My quest continues for a soyless tortilla.
Yes! Those marketing techniques are tricky! Good for you for making your own tortillas! I am going to get a tortilla press!!
excellent video miss Alissia I definitely am going to look for LA Banderita brand I'm using The LA tortilla factory brand's there good but I see you didn't mention them here so nextime I'll keep my eyes open thank you again have a wonderful day 😊
roselin8882 The la tortilla factory ones could be great! I haven't tried them but that doesn't mean a thing- apply the notes I shared here to look at the label for yourself and determine if it's right for you :) Cheers!
What was going on outside of the window lol
I was wondering too..pretty sure it's a water fountain ⛲️
Yes, I'm sure she mentioned that before on one of her recent videos as well. Some viewers were concerned it was a bad weather but Alyssia explained it was indeed a fountain. :)
Found one that is low calorie, low fat, and high fiber = Ole Xtreme Wellness High Fiber
Fire hydrant got ran over .
@@s1r3n1971 thank you!! 👍💝
I like the last one as well...
Yeah!
Its so easy to make them
thanks girl!
+KrystalGetsFit you bet!
seriously though, anything that has more than 5 ingredients should be left on the shelf.
Some ingredient lists can get a little bit ridiculous!
I for one did not know what bet carb meant, but not any more thanks to you, you're a great teacher. ..thank you bc of you I'm gonna make better choices😆
I am so glad you found it useful! Thank you
Nice and informative video.
Speaking of tortillas, is there anyway to make a low-carb quesadilla?
Thank you for answering these questions!
Mai Hearts Cheese does not contain carbs so if you use tortillas that are (truly) low carb then you should get your "low carb" quesadilla :)
Oooh thanks! Now I should hunt my tortillas :)
what do u think about gmos? im new to ur channel n find a lot of ur vids very informing!
The p28 wraps are good too
Joseph's brand is pretty awesome!
+kerrough Cool! I'll have to keep an eye out :) Thank you!
