buy raw nuts instead of salted. Count out how many nuts you are going to have and put the rest away.

I take 22 almonds and then I put them out of sight. If I had a bag there I would just keep reaching my hand in. Also I think there is something with salted nuts that make them more snaky and you want to eat more. I think its weird cravings or something. Raw nuts dont have the same effect.

If you still cant calm down with them, cut them out for a couple of weeks or months and then try to reintroduce them later. Also avoid peanuts and cashews, since they are legumes and more crby. Try sticking to things like almonds, macadamias and pecans. Pumpkin seeds and sunflowers are good too, but make sure to get them unsalted raw.
