Lettuce is solid food+! It has so many cells and sturdy compositon, it takes a long time to chew, and longer to digest. It actually requires burning calories to digest.
I'd probably wait a long time before using it as a wrap. But if you want to benefit from its many positives, I'd julienne slice it.
But if you must wrap, use leaf lettuce, not romaine, and chew it into a paste (practically) before swallowing.
There have been posts lately about chewing, and it's one of the Top Ten must-dos after bariatric surgery. Lettuce is in the top two.
I don't remember when I started eating lettuce again, but I was required to chew 30 times, and my doc made me begin this weeks before surgery. It's actually really cool in relation to taste.
I'm always the last person at the table with food on her plate. Its the solution to the mysery about why I'm so thin compared to most of my dining companions. And I always end up taking food home, so I eat the most likely to wilt before anything else, followed by protein.
