I’ve gone nuts, and it’s a good thing!
Since changing my lifestyle almost 3 years ago (wow, that feels good to say!), I’ve gone nuts…
…and it’s definitely been a good thing.
Instead of snacking on potato chips, pretzels, and buttery popcorn – I have a handful of almonds, or walnuts, now-a-days.
Not only are they filling — but, in moderation, they’re good for you too.

Effective Dieting with Nuts
Nuts are a great component to an effective diet.
They are high in fat, but positive fat, which is critical to good health. Nuts also provide protein and fiber.
A quarter-cup serving of nuts, combined with a glass of fat-free milk, is a great snack. Nuts also make a nutritious topping for salads and main courses. Almonds, cashews, pecans, and macadamias have the most nutritional value.
Go nuts! It’s great!
