Raw organic nuts make for an ideal snack given their healthy fat, vitamin, antioxidant, and fiber content. If you’ve avoided them out of concern for your weight, you may want to reconsider. A growing number of studies refute the myth that nuts might cause weight gain. In fact, the opposite is true, as research shows weight loss is one of the health benefits of regular nut consumption.
My DIY trail mix includes raw pecans, almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. I eat a lot of it and never gain weight. I also eat plenty of pistachios. So get some nuts in your belly. They're yummy and you'll feel good.
