Default Re: Which is the best (ok, safest) nut to try as I embark on Rung 3?

When I saw the subject of this thread I thought to myself "Unsalted almonds and sunflower seeds" so we are on the same wavelength here

I find it hard to regulate eating only one ounce of macadamia nuts (we only get the salted ones here and they are very 'more-ish' for me) so I make them into macadamia nut butter instead as soon as I buy a pack and use it in a recipe or two instead of snacking on them.

Another tip would be to immediately divide a large pack of any nuts into individual small bags or container so you have an ounce in each and can more easily see how many you are eating I decided on this tactic after somehow eating a half pound of unsalted almonds over one weekend

I found some sugarfree sweets (for my husband btw ) at the petrol station in a small container which happens to hold about one ounce of almonds, so I don't even have to weigh out the one ounce I keep in my bag 'for emergencies'.



I now have enough of the empty packs to decant a whole bag of almonds into as soon as I get them home to help me resist the temptation of an opened half-used packet of them
