❓ Q & A
Q: Is it really zero carb?
A: No — but it’s as close as real food gets. Eggs and dairy contain trace carbs.
Q: Does it help you “dry out”?
A:
✔ Helps reduce bloating and water retention
✔ No flour = less inflammation
✖ Not fat loss by itself (that’s calorie balance)
Q: Can I eat this every day?
A: Yes — especially for low-carb or Mediterranean diets. Rotate fillings for balance.
Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
A: Yes — replace cream cheese/yogurt with:
-
Extra olive oil + 1 tbsp water
-
Or egg whites only (lighter texture)
Q: Why does it look layered and flaky?
A: Stacking traps steam — a classic Mediterranean trick for soft flatbreads.
