Say Nuts To Your Diet
Say What?
Yes, say nuts to your diet and find that you lose the weight and keep the weight off without the usual hunger.
Ok, nuts can be high in calories and fat but it’s the fat and protein in the nuts (and seeds) that help you from gorging on cakes and high calorie cookies that are high in sugar, fat and calories with no nutritional benefits to speak of.
Choose nuts and seeds that are raw and preferably not salted. Flaxseeds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pistachios, sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds work well. You can eat the seeds and nuts on their own or sprinkle them in salads or yogurt.
Just try to keep the amount of seed or nuts down to a minimum (1 tablespoon worth or about 10 nuts depending on their size). I know that this does not sound like enough to even taste, but nuts are flavorful and you’ll will be surprised how far that amount goes.
Try it, it just might take the edge off of your cravings.
