New Subway

[GoGAG]

Heard about this on the radio this morning and checked out the website.

"Subway® Restaurants offers two Atkins® Nutritionals, Inc.-endorsed low-carbohydrate wraps: the Turkey and Bacon Melt Wrap, with Monterey cheddar cheese, and the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, with Swiss cheese. Both Atkins® -Friendly Wraps, available in the U.S. and Canada, have 11 grams Net Carbs or less, and the wrap itself, which is made with wheat gluten, cornstarch, oat, sesame flour and soy protein, has only 5 grams Net Carbs...."

Obviously this is no good for Induction.

Anyone tried one yet?

I am confused how Atkins would endorse a product containing sugar, wheat, corn & oats but maybe I'm missing something... Also seems suspect that per their published nutrition table they contain the most fiber of any prouct on the menu, including the salads.

I want to try one but I'm getting the to good to be true vibe. Anyone elese have thoughts on these offerings?

Subways!!

I saw the commercial and I am so thrilled!!!! I am so happy that more national chained-style restaurants are recognizing Low-Carbs and are introducing new items!!!

This is great for us!!! I have not tried it yet, but the wraps in the commercials seem most delicious!!!! And it boasted only 7 net carbs!! You can still have this in Induction. Induction is basically staying under 20 carbs.

I hope it's not a disappointment like Don Pablo's, but hey, I think America is realizing Low-Carbs are the way to go and I'm just glad the national chains are recognizing this trend!!!

With time, I'm sure more restaurants will follow in the footsteps and they will customize their menus to better tastes!!!!!!!!

Whoopeeee!!!!!!!!

Don't want to burst any bubbles but if you go into Subway it clearly states
"Not for the Induction Phase of Atkins" in big letters.
I did try one, it's not too bad.
Once you're past Induction and on the OWL grain step it will be good.

Just went to Subway to try one! The entire Dallas-Forth Worth area is sold out! hahaha that should wake someone up! :laughing

Over the weekend I tried the chicken/bacon and ranch wrap. It was delicious.
Remember newbies not for induction. It sure is worth the wait. :laughing

[Peaches4u]

What kind of sauce can you have on it?

When I get up to that stage. TIA

I just stopped by Subways to try their new Bacon ranch wrapped with chicken AND it was Sinfully Delicious!!!!! The wrap was so tasty, I couldn't believe with a little bell pepper, onions, and ranch dressing it was only a total of 8 carbs!!!! (the turkey is 11 carbs!)

I even asked the store manager if they made the wrap there and he said "no". The wrap is brought in but they won't say from where. I asked if I can buy a package of just the wrap and he also said "no".

Well, I sure hope the Mexican restaurants learns the recipe for those WRAPS cuz I would love to be able to eat FAJITAS with a low carb wrap rather than lettuce!!!!

oh btw, the wrap was most delicious, but since I did not have it with chips or anything else, I was still kinda hungry.

It would go perfect with a salad.

Tried one the other day, the filling is great, you might as well have them wrap it in the paper the sandwich comes in, it might taste better than the tortilla or whatever the wrap itself is made of.

I finally got to try a wrap and have to give everyone my two cent worth... :laughing

I had the turkey/bacon melt (I know, it's 11 carbs so I'll have to eat really light tonight) and I loved it! The wrap had a 'different' kind of smell to it....not bad, not good...just different, but I have to say the taste itself wasn't bad.

It's so nice to be able to go "fast-food" and not have my husband gripe and grumble about me not being able to eat anything on the menu!!! :smileangel

I was told last evening by a low carb market owner that Subway uses the Adios brand tortillas for their wraps. I love them! Gwen

Looking for Adios Carb Tortillas, I found this site that sells them:

http://www.synergydiet.com/adioscarbs.html

3.99 for a 10 pack. Problem is, because they are perishable, shipping is gonna be expensive to get them to you quickly.

Anyone know where one can buy these retail? Any store chains that sell these? If i gotta order online, I will, but I'd prefer to drive to get them.

[billgwen]

Tom, I bought them locally from my new low carb market here in Knoxville TN. Where are you? I paid 3.99 and of course no shipping. Maybe you can ask some of the health good/GNC type stores to stock them? The Jalapeno tortillas are to die for. Gwen
