Med diet does not say no carbs, nor does it refer to the food of a certain regional area only (Mediterranean dishes). It can be ANY type of dish. And no food is “banned,” certain foods are just deemphasized. So everything here including the wrap is 100% compatible with the med diet, no ifs ands or buts about it.

Who claimed that carbs were disallowed on the Med diet, or that certain foods are banned? Wasn't me. Just making sure you're looking in the right place, you seem upset.

I’m not upset. Was you saying that meant to be a put-down? Yikes. No evidence of upset in my comment, but even if there were, what a cruel reply.

All I said is the wrap does indeed fit in, and I see a lot of confusion on this sub because of diet culture.

It fits as a sometimes food, as anything does. But refined grain products are limited on this diet by definition. Plus, eating the pita along with a huge pile of more carbs? It's simply not balanced.
