STACEYRAE46 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I have been doing real well, and lost 8 pounds up till now.. I’m finding the program fairly easy to follow... BUT.. lately I’ve given into a night snack of eating more than 2 hand full of nuts im going to break the habit now before it gets any worse. I would really appreciate someone telling why this is not a good habit to pick up and how eating too many nuts is not good... truthfully it will make sense to me, so I can kick the habit.. help My guilt is killing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted September 4, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 4, 2018 Nuts are an imbalanced fat source as far as Omega 3 and 6 go... Almonds have a ratio of almost 2000:1 in favor of Omega 6 which the standard diet already has in excess. (check this chart out under 'nuts & seeds' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_of_fatty_acids_in_different_foods) Second, they can be really gut disruptive for a lot of people... they cause digestive distress and bathrooming issues. It's our recommendation to keep nuts and seeds (and their products) to a closed handful every other day... that's about 6-8 almonds every other day at the most... nuts and seeds can be a great condiment to salads etc... but if you find yourself feeling guilty, binging or having trouble stopping when you start it's definitely a good indication to put these food items aside for a while.
