OK, this one is driving me crazy. I love nuts and eat a lot of it. I had always thought it was good for you until I read the posts from you Myles and I think some others here saying it is not. In layman explanation, exactly what is wrong with them? If I take a few before a meal, I eat less fat for example. Is that not good? I thought having more fiber and the oils in the nuts was good for you. Please say that I can keep eating them and feel good about them.
Hey Amir:
Unfortunately, knowing what to eat and how to excercise can be maddening with the barrage of media reports, so called "studies" (many funded by
food conglomerates), and so many experts weighing in.
The bottom line is you cannot change human biochemistry. We were never programmed to eat refined carbs, the biggest reason for being overweight.
After searching for decades, my plan is to eat as many whole foods as possible..whole foods being the way the food appears in nature..vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc,
with as little processed foods as humanly possible!
I also work out comprehensively 6 days a week.
Interestingly, after this weekend, I am going to go on a vegetarian food plan for a few months, avoiding essentially all animal product
to see how it changes my body, mood, and overall energy level.
