2. Because nuts and seeds are one of more problematic food groups. As one of the OWL Forum moderators, I can tell you that nuts and seeds cause weight loss problems in many folks due to food intolerances and/or allergies. In fact, nuts/seeds is one of the 6 leading causes of food intolerances/allergies in the world. Read Chapter 25 in the book about food intolerances, Dr. Atkins wrote that sometimes the foods we love are the foods that are the worst for our bodies. |
ITA I'm OWL'ing and have a terrible time with nuts right now. They make my craving go nutty
