Finals. Low-Carb Tortillas...THEY EXIST!!!!

The most horrible time of year is here. Finals. As a result, I will do absolutely everything and anything in my power to procrastinate. I will scrub toilets, do laundry, organize the refrigerator...ANYTHING but write a paper (two of which are due early next week) or study!
Not only do I procrastinate during finals, but I eat like shit. So, in an effort to curb the inevitable weight gain, I've made it my mission to find some tasty, but healthy snacks. With some help from my friends (namely my Mom - Louisiana friends are more likely to push me towards eating some cheesy, fried, fatty food) I have found a few nice items to replace everyday food staples with. 
I am addicted to carbs. As a result, I have a huge butt. BUT (no pun intended) I can do a little something about it. I can switch from carb-filled tortillas to something healthier, something low-carb. Here's what I found.

La Tortilla Factory Low Carb High Fiber Tortillas.
These are a complete win. Tasty, so, so tasty. I have been eating the Flatout brand of flatbreads, but after a bite of one of these, never again will I put that cardboard-like product in my mouth. These are delicious and they truly are LOW CARB! YES! Go taste some, now. Throw some sauteed shrimp and avocado in there and call it a tasty, low-fat, cellulite-free day!

Ole Mexican Foods Xtreme Wellness tortillas.
I tried the spinach & herbs variety. It is as tasty as the La Tortilla Factory ones. Actually, it tastes better - well, I am a repeat-offender of the grab a piece of tortilla from the fridge ever 2 minutes until the entire pack is gone, sort of person...
Anyway, it is delicious, but slightly more calories (however it IS bigger) and the actual carb count is low, but is it lower than La Tortilla? Not sure, there is question as to whether or not the fiber is subtracted from the carbs on the nutrition information.
ANYWAY. These are some delicious alternatives to regular tortillas. Don't eat regular tortillas, just don't. Go buy these and enjoy as you watch your nasty muffin top melt away (here's hoping...).
