Default Nuts!

Your post is so cute.

I think the worst thing about being a nut addict is going over your carbs for the day. I've found I can eat 3-4 oz (about 12-20g of carbs depending on the nuts) in a sitting, therefore making them DANGEROUS.

I think some people have mentioned that nuts make them stall or cause cravings as well. My best advice (I should really take it myself too) is to divide your nuts into single serving packages and set limits.

But, then again, if you love nuts so much and your progress isn't being stunted, I don't see any reason for you to stop (besides possibly high sodium levels if they're salted).

Perhaps your body is craving the minerals in nuts? I believe they are high in magnesium and potassium.

Just my stab at it. Nut experts... go to town!

Happy low carbing!
