Myth: A lot of peple think that because nuts are fattening, they should not eat them if they want to lose weight.
The fact is... Nuts, in small amounts, can be part of a healthy weight loss program.
Nuts are high in calories and fat, that's true, but most nuts contain healthy fats that don't clog your arteries.
Nuts are good sources of protein, dietary fiber, and minerals including magnesium and copper.
When you need a snack, have yourself some nuts. One half ounce of mixed nuts has about 84 calories.
