Summary
I get a lot of questions about nuts. Everything from, "Are nuts healthy?" to "How can I stop overeating nuts?"
Let's tackle these questions and everything in between!
There is no black & white answer on the nut issue. In today's episode, as we explore the question, "Are nuts healthy?", I want to show you how to find the right answer for you & adjust your strategy based on your needs, not on universal all-or-nothing statements about nuts.
I will show the types of things you need to consider such as:
- What is your goal?
- How often are you consuming nuts and in what quantity?
- What type of nuts are you consuming?
- Is inflammation a problem for you?
- Is nutrient deficiency a problem for you?
- How many omega-3 fatty acids do you consume on a regular basis?
- What other regular sources of omega-6 fatty acids do you consume?
- Are nuts a trigger for you or are you able to moderate your consumption?
Don't miss the whole episode for the facts about nuts and their impact on your health & fat loss.
