Personal Review - 

These wraps have been a total lifesaver, you would have no idea these were not regular high carb wraps from the supermarket.  The delivery came with 2 packs of 8 tortillas therefore I put one pack in the freezer - even though they have brilliant dates already!  The wraps are versatile and I have personally used them as wraps for fajitas, filled and put in the oven as a 'calzone' and brushed with oil and spices in the oven to make nacho chips.
Although the wraps are more expensive than regular wraps from the supermarket, at only 4g net carbs per wrap they are more than worth the price!
Would I buy them again? Absolutely!!! I have ordered 2 more packs to keep in the freezer.

About me!


Hey guys! Welcome to my blog 😊

I’m a 24-year-old wife and mama who has recently adopted a Keto lifestyle after seeing the positive changes it brought to my husband’s life!

Okay so this part is supposed to be about ME! I have been with my amazing husband for over 8 years now, I guess you could call us high school sweethearts!  We have been married for nearly 3 years and have a beautiful baby girl called Aubree who was born December 2016 and is the absolute light of our lives!  I live a super hectic lifestyle juggling being a wife/mother, running the family business and studying to become a high school teacher (1 more year to go!!!). 

I haven’t always been overweight, in fact, when I was in high school I was very sporty and fit but unfortunately underweight due to a poor relationship with food.  At 13 I was diagnosed with Endometriosis which today is still a major factor in my life and treatments to help manage the condition unfortunately contributed to me gaining weight.  A mixture of high dose hormones, steroids and my own feelings of how it was affecting me led to me turning to food as a comfort.  Pair this with a new relationship and dining out often meant I piled on the weight.

Over the years I have tried every quick fix and fad diet out, Keto has been completely different.  Its not a diet, it’s a lifestyle and one which fits perfect for hubby and I.

Hubby started his journey in June 2017 and has lost 46lbs!!! Seeing not only the visual difference but the mental differences is phenomenal, he has so much energy and always feels great. 

I decided to start my own journey February 2018 and so far have lost 11lbs, which to me is quite unbelievable in such a short space of time.  I can honestly say I am loving the change and thanks to the amazing Keto community on Instagram (who have been lifesavers) I feel like this is it for me! I have finally changed my life for the better 😊

**NOTE**
mrsbeardedketo does NOT mean I have a beard! When hubby (who has a beard) started his Keto Instagram he called it beardedketo and I naturally followed with mrsbeardedketo... just thought I should clarify haha
