 Re: Which is the best (ok, safest) nut to try as I embark on Rung 3? | |
I eat both -- but normally only eat 1/2 ounce (14) almonds. I measure the sunflower seeds and put them into a small bowl on the table. I snack on them off and on during the day especially after exercising. I haven't had any problems with gaining since I added nuts. I had pistachios earlier this week (after getting sick on them when I was 5) and they were "ok" but not something I'll be wanting often. Macadamia nuts are another that don't interest me....Brazil nuts..that would be another story - I know to stay away from them and walnuts!!
I only buy unsalted nuts -- I don't add salt to anything while cooking OR at the table - haven't for quite awhile. |
