We have always perceived nuts to be a weight enemy because of its high caloric/fat content. But really, its the perfect snack if taken in moderation (magic word) along with a healthy fruit (apple), yogurt, low sugar/GI cereal (steel cut oats anyone?).Many of us have the notion that "fats make you fat"..............I remember dad chiding me every time I refused to put home made butter on my phulkas. He would say " fats are not fattening, cut the carbs" and I thought he was nuts (no pun intended).
In a nutshell, go ahead and indulge in those almonds and walnuts - they not only ward off weight gain but can also control your cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
