Carb Watch Pitas, yum!

In the past year or so that I've been dieting and trying (stress on trying to) exercise, I've discovered that bread and related products (pasta, rice, etc) is one of the great saboteurs of a healthy eating regimen.
It's just so high in carbs, fats and calories that it turns an ordinary sandwich into some kind of spiral of shame where you feel that even eating half may be pushing it for the day. This is even worse if you're one of those types who still champion the cause of Wonder Bread and other nutrient deficient processed sliced bread brands.
I highly recommend against eating such things, but we'll save that rant for another blog at another time.
Recently, I've discovered the Middle East Baking Co's Carb Watch Pitas. These little babies are a miracle to your diet, no matter what kind of diet kick you're on. (Especially those of you doing Atkins or South Beach).
These pitas aren't as bready or sweet as most pitas out there. Rather, they have a satisfying slightly doughy texture that reminds me of fresh Roti or other basic, peasant-food type flat breads.
Because of this doughier texture, they can be a little harder to cut open and stuff them, but I find they're just as good if you roll them like a tortilla or bake cheese or veggies on them flat like a small pizza crust.
I'm in love with these things, and are fast replacing regular bread as my staple of choice when making a quick and dirty lunchtime sandwich, or I need something to sop up my soup with.
Take a look at this nutritional info. Wow! Only 6 carbs per half a pita.:
