weight loss and nuts

Sorry to hit you again with this one but yesterday I saw several patients whose weight loss efforts this week were derailed by eating that snack source I constantly rag on...NUTS.

I usually hear: "But THEY say that nuts are Almonds are good for you..."

Once again, who are "THEY"??? "THEY" are not experienced in helping people lose weight. When people have had an upturn in their weight, the first two questions I ask are about alcohol usage and then nuts.....

Nuts are NOT a good food source to use when you are in a mode to lose weight. Quite frankly, any small, repetitive food source that is NOT a vegetable (popcorn, trail mix, nuts, raisins, etc) are usually derailing for weight loss efforts.

Have a great Sunday!
