I THINK I’M GOING NUTS!

,

In truth, I get most of my healthy fats from fish (salmon, sardines), plus a little olive oil (1 TEAspoon) in my veggies at lunch and dinner.

But nuts are another source of healthy fats.  And a recent study once again shows this:

Nut consumption improves blood lipid levels in a dose-related manner… the lipid-lowering effects of nut consumption were greatest …among those consuming Western diets.

Dr. Roizen has long recommended eating a few (8?) almonds or walnuts 30 minutes before a meal.  The fat will slow your stomach down, and give you a head start on feeling full.

Make sure your nuts are UNSALTED!

BTW, I am not a Whole Foods evangelist.  I happened to go there today, but, boy are they expensive!
