I'm a sixty something woman and lost 18 pounds eating nuts and seeds. I just measured them: An 1/8 cup of walnuts and a tablespoon of tahini. These made my salad and my vegetable palatable (and healthier!) Since then, I consume about double that and have maintained 122 pounds ( BMI of 21) for about five years.
Congratulations!
Good for you.
Yup, I think the MD in Dr. Neal Barnard, MD stands for Medical Disinformationist. Check out my post with the facts and all the evidence to back them up.
Great advice!
Excellent! I depend also on peanuts to maintain a healthy weight. They always satisfy me.
If I remember correctly Dr. Greger has a video about nuts and the conclusion is: Natural nuts (no added oil, sugar etc) are not absorb in the same way oil and other processed foods are.
A Calorie is not a Calorie when comparing whole foods and processed foods!?
Dr Greger listed a compendium of published studies that all concluded that nuts--and these were handfuls of nuts-- that participants experienced no weight gain--and it was counter to what they had expected given the caloric load of notes (and several of these studies were structured to have good controls).
Better snack on nuts than junk food. Maintaining a diet is hard. If nuts help you stay on track I'd say go for it. As long as it's unsalted and without any additives
Facts
Yes for me, UNSALTED is the key!
You nailed it
I'm a fan of the small red lentils as they cook very fast and are a little less gassy than bigger beans. You don't have to soak them either.
I am 63 next month and have been wfpb vegan 3 years now following heart attack in March of 2019. After 6 months of meds and adjusting of diet and lifestyle I started eliminating animal products the last to go were fish and diary. I have cut down but nuts are still included but only 3 half pieces of walnut, 6 almonds, 2 brazils. I had peanut butter every day since a boy but stopped a year ago. I have just started again with a small amount of high oleic p.b and no oil hydrogenated or otherwise. Since I get plenty of exercise I am still losing weight (body fat), now at 70kg/1.78 m instead of 88kg. All health indicators are looking good, no meds, no colds, flu or infections in this time.
Ok
Simon, I'm glad you are here, thanks for sharing your good news.
Don't worry about eating more nuts. Check out my post with the facts and all the evidence to back them up.
Nuts and seeds really helped with leg cramps while I was pregnant. I had a small amount of flax, pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds and walnuts in my oatmeal in the morning. Any day I forgot to eat them, I woke up in the middle of the night in so much pain. Most people tell you to eat a banana if you get leg cramps, but I read one person say nuts helped them, so I gave it a shot. It works!!
Many Nuts/seeds have more magnesium than Bananas.
Pumpkin seeds especially
I like raw sunflower seeds as a Vitamin E supplement. They are not as addictive as mixed nuts!
I might try that. Thanks for the tip!
Soaked chickpeas cooked 23 min in a pressure cooker, black and kidney beans that's bean soaked cooked like 13 min in the a pressure cooker put it away in the freezer I even use it for my dogs food when I cook for them
Nuts are very filling that eating several can be satiating. If one craves a large amount, then there is something out of balance in one's diet or body.
Another fantastic episode and I don't eat much vegan cheese because the majority of the vegan cheese in stores is coconut oil based and I want to avoid coconut oil. That means vegan cheese & dairy cheese aren't health foods but both are processed junk foods that I am better off without. I do eat nuts occasionally but they are among the most expensive vegan food.
22:19 Dr. Barnard is so right about looking into what cows and calves had to go through to put that cheese on our tables. It's horrific. Imagine your children or pets being put through something like that.
Yes, but clearly human adults need the milk of another species. No other species is like this, no dog needing baboon milk, no goat needing elephant milk. But cow's milk is specifically designed for adult humans. It fits our needs perfectly. That is why cows produce more milk whenever they are enslaved by a human harmer!
What to do with that pesky calf, though? Just kill it. It will only steal your milk, and cow milk is bad for calves, anyway. After all, it is optimised for adult humans and clearly the nutritional needs of adult humans do not resemble those of baby cows!
So start sucking mommy cow's titties and drink the healthiest fluid nature has for adult humans!
This was so helpful! Thanks a million.
Dr. Barnard: Thank you for give me so much useful information.
For cooking beans, Instant Pot aka electric multi-cooker. Turn hours into minutes!
Oh please!! the 60ties were one of my best decades. that is not old. Now over 80 and some things have changed.
Thanks for that, as I turn 66 next week. I feel like I did when I was 40 so I was hoping for another 20 good yrs😃
Love your show! Thank you so much for all you do to educate us, making us healthier and happier!

Thank you Chuck and Dr. Benard, this has been insightful and helpful. Thank you for the story about the conference with Treeline cheese. I particularly like your analogy Dr. B on "all things in moderation", thank you good point, well thought, and said.
Love this show

FYI shelled nuts that are NOT organic are sprayed after being shelled with pesticides and fungicides to dry them out and preserve them during shipping. The reason nuts are so addictive is the salt and the dry roasting. Health wise... Organic raw nuts are your best bet.
Agreed that salt makes them even better but for some including me even raw almonds are too much 😞
@@RiDankulous I guess I don't understand what you mean by too much. I am just trying to let people know about the extensive use of pesticides. Cuz on these podcasts they don't seem to talk much about it. Nuts are good for us in limited amounts only when they don't have a side of poison included.
@@tiaaeon8213 Ah, something to consider most definitely. Raw almonds are too addictive to me.
@@RiDankulous you should just enjoy them. They aren't as fatty as cashews. They are nutritious too. Enjoy 😊
@@tiaaeon8213 Go rancid quickly too esp. walnuts.
Beans soak themselves, ha ha, nice one Dr B. Enjoyed your comment that, in nature, nuts are hard to access. That image can help when looking at bags of nuts, how long would it take me to gather and shell all these? Also my favourite cheese is miso cheese made at home. Soak nuts overnight, rinse and blend with fresh water and white miso, leave on kitchen bench a few hours to ferment and it often produces little bubbles. Leave in fridge for a week before using, and it makes a delicious cheese sauce. Can use different nuts or seeds, cashews or sunflower seeds are very good to use, also pumpkin seeds. Thanks both of you for a very useful topic.
How about fish simon is that good for you
There is a peanut butter that has only dry roasted peanuts, either creamy or chunky, salted or unsalted, nongmo, vegan, gluten free, USA grown...the brand name is TEDDIE and is really good, oil comes to the top if stood too long, you either stir it well or pour out the oil as I do, it makes the butter harder but yummy!!
Thank u so much Dr Neal Barnard I'm very happy to share your valuable massage how to much shauld our eat ? And so many important healthy food ,and live so many questions n answer . More pls.
Greetings Doctors. ... Thanks for sharing. Great information. God bless you all richly. Stay safe.

Where sunflower seeds fit? I love sunflower butter. I make sure there isn't anything else added, always! No sugar, no added oils, etc. I can't eat nuts as I don't have enough teeth, and I can't put them on salad because I don't have enough teeth to eat leafy vegetables. I find nut butter so convenient when i'm not up to cooking. I'm old and not in very good health. I don't eat dairy at all anymore not even yogurt, which I only quite a year ago or so. I've always found I choke on any other dairy. I recently tried lactose free ice cream when I found some also sugar free and on sale. I can not testify that dairy products that say lactose free still causes mucus for people like me. Oh, I used to eat cheese even if it bothered me, but broke that addiction. It wasn't easy. I heard about the casien-morphine addiction. That reminds me what- ever- happened to soy cheese! I used to eat a lot of soy cheese. Artificial cheese now is made with potato starch.
Thank you!

Peanuts are legumes. I love them in the shell, outside on a fall day or by the fire at night. I don't eat literal tons of them, but it wouldn't take much prodding for me to try.
Love you guy’s!!! ❤

🙏interesting , very nuanced and so informative 🌷❤️
I love you guys!
Thanks
I buy the natural nut butter (peanut or almond) and pour the separated oil off when I first open the jar. Then stir and enjoy.
I disagree on not eating nuts if you're trying to lose weight. 1/4 Cup of nuts is only 200 calories at the very most. And they make you feel good, taste good and give you nutrients and add so much to other foods. I'm talking about nuts without any kind of oil or salt added.
Thank you for sharing this 🙏 wonderful information on eating nuts 👏 😀 😊 👌 👍 🙂
1 ounce a day for me- walnuts
Dr Barnard, thanks for your teaching . I have your recipe book . I been making recipes from that book but I lost 16 lbs weight . But I don’t have to loose more . How much nut or any other foods I should be adding to the diet to gain little weight or maintain weight.
I think Dr. B might disagree with a mono tone diet as the variety feeds the micro biome which is where our immune system comes from.
This was so helpful!! We don’t eat store-bought vegan cheese often, but Treeline is the only one we’ll buy! It’s the cleanest I’ve found, and it’s made local for us (NYS)!

@@MF-lt8pq sorry to hear you feel that way. I’m not sure which part you’re referring to, but I’ve heard many other doctors in the wfpb world say the same things.
Baru nuts are cool, I find them less addicting and their crunch makes them texturally satisfying.
Never heard of them til now. Will try! Can u recommend a good brand with no preservatives or junk? Thanks.
Chuck seems to be really excited about vegan cheese but is falling to mention the number of chemicals that go into making it. It's also the same for plant based ice cream. Just read the label and you will see.
Vegan cheese is pretty much processed coconut oil...very high in saturated fat!
That's the difference between a whole food plant based and a vegan.
I don't think he "failed" to mention that. He addressed the issue pertaining to the discussion which is being mindful of the type and amount of fat. For the purposes of detaching addiction to cheese, that's the bigger issue (saturated fat content) although of course I agree with you about added non-foods like chemicals.
@@brucebelmore1831 They are both plant-based. Those who are WFPB chose foods that are as close to nature as possible without any processing. Vegans may include processed and convenient foods: refined sugar, refined oils, fried foods, plant-based cheeses, ice-cream, etc.
“Vegan” also represents an ethical desire to not contribute to the suffering of animals to the best they can. They won’t purchase leather nor support the exploitation of animals (like zoos, circuses, elephant rides, etc). Whereas, there are many people on a WFPB diet who are just eating plant-based for health reasons and still purchase leather, etc.
The plantbased ice cream and yogurt really not nice,so I stick to my banana nicecream.
I eat 3 pounds of nuts every week, no weight issues.
Yup, I think the MD in Dr. Neal Barnard, MD stands for Medical Disinformationist. Check out my post with the facts and all the evidence to back them up.
Heart and circulatory issues is what you’ll likely have. You won’t know it until it’s too late though. Good luck!
I eat unsalted nuts (cashews, walnuts, pecans, soft almonds) and seeds (sunflower and pumpkins) plain.
In the ultra rare occasion that Neal goes crazy and cheats on his diet... he eats 3 almonds and a teaspoon of guacamole.
🤣
he looks that way... low fat diets are not gentle on the body. EAT YOUR PLANT FATS!
@@barbettecaravaggio7675 Neal looks amazing for almost 70. Are you kidding?
🤣🤣🤣
I overdo almonds. I'll get into the habit of eating an ounce right when I wake up, and then it's 2 ounces a day sometimes. It won't stop for me. 🤣
You should have also touched on the importance of consuming healthy fats with vegetables to absorb the fat soluble vitamins in vegetables. Really crucial point.
On the dry roasted vs oil roasted is question what the serving size is. They play that trick with labeling sometimes. So the serving size may be smaller in the oil roasted peanuts to bring the fat per serving down to the same value as the dry roasted.
I make my beans in the crockpot, they are so good and easy. Just look up a plant based crockpot bean recipe. My favorite are pinto beans 🥰
This was about nuts?💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@RichS.73yroldbodybuilder woops wrong video ☺️
Iron is just not an issue in a vegan diet, I’m getting more than I ever got before. Calcium, B12, Vitamin D, DHA, those are the issues, that I supplement for (calcium thru my fortified oat milk). You can get zinc and the other minerals with nuts, so I don’t restrict myself with them, and my weight has never gone up, so it hasn’t been a problem. I usually eat more than a day’s serving of nuts.
Yup, I think the MD in Dr. Neal Barnard, MD stands for Medical Disinformationist. Check out my post with the facts and all the evidence to back them up.
I learned something. I thought all nuts contained healthy fats which I understand is fattening but I didn't realize nuts contained saturated fat. Also, vegan cheeses do often contain a lot of oils though other than coconut and palm oils.
Fruits are good for snacking
I practice healthy keto and intermittent fasting. I break my fast every day with nuts (no peanuts.. they are too susceptible to fungus). Otherwise, I eat many handfuls of walnuts, pistachios, Brazil nuts, macadamia… every day. Does not cause me to gain weight and I don’t count calories or fat. I can do this because I don’t eat sugar and only carbs from cruciferous vegetables … and nuts lol. Same with avocados… good fat! Eat ‘em up! (And yes, once I converted to a fat burner and not a carb burner, I’ve lost weight and look trim and healthy regardless of how much fat I eat)

Carbs from vegetables or whole grains don't cause you to gain weight, typically.
@@Magnulus76 Good to see you edited "But fats in nuts are easy to store as body fat, usually in the liver or as visceral fat." out of your post

Questions, questions, questions
Dr. Barnard is full of great insights that our medical and public health establishment ignores all too often. I am delighted to hear Dr. Barnard nail it again--that unhealthful palm oil is being added willy nilly to foods. I suspect this is because it is inexpensive and pletntiful. This is not good policy given that palm oil is so full of saturated fat and because valuable rain forest habitat is getting cleared to raise monocultures of oil palms. I try to avoid anything with palm oil for both health reasons and biodiversity/environmental reasons. Does anyone else remember when there was margarine made from canola oil, with no unhealthful palm oil added? Bravo to Physician's Committee for this presentation and all its good efforts to boost health and the environment we all depend upon. I will stay plant based for health and to fight climate change, which eating meat and cow burps contribute to all too greatly!

Dr Bernard is right of course that nuts are seasonal, but he forgot to mention that their hermetic shell keeps them fresh all year.

can you do a talk about rolled oats? What about rolled oats? How much can we have a day? Do rolled oats give me belly fat?
Thank you
Raw nuts best. With sea salt. I add it if needed.
Thank you for this! How is it that one can be pre-diabetic and never ate meat?
Nest doesn't cause diabetes. Refined carbs and refined vegetable seed oils in ultra processed "food" does.
I am still working on reducing and eliminating cheese. What can I eat in place of cheese? Are the nondairy cheeses made with other oils or ground nuts with added salt?
Vegetables can replace cheese.
A fermented nut "cheese" I make is:1 cup nut flour (I use Bob's Red Mill almond flour) 1/4 cup boiling water, stir it into a paste, 1/4 cup wildbrine sour kraut brine, stir in. Cover. Leave on counter to ferment. In one or two days, it will be spongy with bubbles. When it is sour to your taste, cover and store in fridge up to a week. You can add garlic granules, mushroom powder, nutritional yeast, onion granules etc to create different flavors. If you use it without fermenting, it's more like ricotta. Happy cooking! 🥰
The dairy industry directly supports and provides an endless supply of calves for the veal industry. Giving up dairy was no problem for me.
I have a massive handful of walnuts 5 days a week, they soak overnight with my fermented oats and seeds for my fast breaking shake. Think it is super important to soak raw nuts (I think). Oh yeah and a tablespoon of crunchy 100% peanut butter daily (my only guilty addiction).
Change to high oleic peanuts/ p.b much better.
Eish my daily addiction macadamia nuts and protein bar
Healthycrazycool eats a lot of nuts and seed butters. The point is highly active individuals and those with high metabolic rates can add more nuts and seeds to their diet without much drawback.
Anyone can, basically. Check out my post with the facts and all the evidence to back them up.
@@MF-lt8pq I agree with your post. If people were to replace the junk food with nuts and/or seeds then health with improve unless allergies are an issue,
Nuts such as almonds store their fat in their cell walls, therefore making them harder to digest. Because of this, most part of the fat consumed from nuts is passed out undigested. This means that a large part of the calories are simply discarded.
Every single almond contains around 7.7 calories of which around 6 come from fat. Given this information, many assume that almonds cause weight gain, but science has proven the opposite. While almonds may be calorie rich, our body does not absorb all the fat content in them.
The thing with "one serving of peanut butter" is that you don't have to measure out (with a 2 Tbs measuring spoon) til the end of your days. Once you get used to seeing exactly how much PB is in 2 TBS, it's easy to scoop out that much on a knife.
And the worst part of it is they are roasted in inflammatory seed oils. Update: it seems the majority of the studies out there show seed oils whether raw or heated don't cause inflammation. Who knew.

Dr. Barnard, I absolutely boycott ANY food that contains dairy. I'm surprised when I read the labels...lime flavored chips have skim milk.. duh?
I like to make my own nut butter with my food processor.
What is the fat content to seeds, eg pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia or flax seeds?
Many seeds have a proportional amount of fat similar to nuts; however, nuts and seeds are not bad for a healthy diet. Peer reviewed studies have shown that nuts and seeds are very beneficial to a healthy diet. If someone is obese, eating nots won’t make them fat if they are cutting out meat, dairy, cheese and processed foods.
Would you recommend no flaxseeds if trying to lose weight?
No flaxseed good for omega 3 and 6 and lots of fiber
Raw nuts (or peanuts) are better if soaked and then boiled.
Boil them in their shells.
Boiling will increase the antioxidants by 3 times vs raw peanuts.
Dry-roasting is bad because it's dry-cooking and dry-roasting (and all dry cooking) increases AGES (Advanced Glycation End Products).
Boiling is good because the water protects the food from becoming brown.
Boiling ALL fats and proteins are safest against AGE's compared to dry-cooking. Microwaving may be an exception if it's cooked in a microwave oven for a short time.
Dry cooking causes food to become brown.
The browning of food causes Advanced Glycation End Products. But this is only a concern if the food has high fat or protein.
Therefore, browning your vegetables during dry-heating is not so bad. Your AGE intake will still go up a bit but it's a tiny difference.
The much bigger issue with cooking food is killing enzymes. But this issue can be ameliorated by mixing non-cooked food with cooked food. By eating raw food and cooked food together, the cooked food borrows the enzymes from the raw food and you're all good.👍 Dr. Greger explained this enzymes borrowing phenomena in his series about cooking brocolli and adding brown mustard powder to make up for the enzymes lost while brocolli is cooked.
Google: "Brown mustard powder brocolli."
Another healthy addictive calorie bomb: medjool dates! The fresh ones are in season now i have a problem. 🙂
I really enjoy these as well. I try to keep it to 3 to 4 large dates per day. Fortunately, dates have so much fiber that they are actually not a health or sugar problem according to Dr. Michael Greger. In fact, he reports that dates are actually beneficial for our GI microbiome! So keep enjoying your dates! Perhaps several dates a day are fine and should be enjoyed without guilt!
@@JW4REnvironment Trying to hold these healthy better-than-snickers-bars to three a day myself but only because I'm chubby!
What about: as long as you're keeping your total daily calories around 1500/day for weightloss? Will 1 or 2 T. of vegan Hellmans in my chickpea salad matter?
I eat walnuts ,pecans ,and cashews in large amounts daily and I’m still losing weight! Though, I eat a lot of veggies and fruits and a little meat .i guess it balance out !
I eat macadamia nuts and sacha inchi seeds.
I don’t go glutton for nuts. Just 1.5 Oz of almonds is all I need. Nuts might be a problem if you ADD them to an already complete to excessive diet but not when they’re part of your necessary daily nutrition…
I don't eat much nuts due to being expensive. But also they're pretty nauseating. That said, tehy're an integral part of a plant-based diet, unless you're allergic! Is there anything behind the nauseating effects of them? I heard there's chemicals - but maybe I'm missing something?
My issue with nut/seed butters is that a "serving" for me is 1/4 cup...twice a day. Not good! And then the peanut butter or sunflower butter would trigger me to also use EVOO, avocados, etc. (I'm on day 7 of very low fat again...trying to get my blood sugar down.)
It's a wonder I survived childhood. Mom would make my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches using quite a bit of margarine on the bread first (to stop the peanut butter from sticking to the roof of my mouth) and then A LOT of peanut butter with jelly. :-)
Wouldn't volume density of a food only really affect hunger more in the short term, would a low volume nut butter really lead to more hunger 2 hours after ingestion vs a low fat high volume meal assuming calories were equated?
I always eat unsalted. Not sure why Doc assumes they are salty.
Here are my questions, please: I have to exercise daily because of other reasons. So I do my daily run between 5 - 8 miles and I do gymnastics and weight lifting in order to keep my muscles. By this I burn between 700 and 1.200 calories a day. I‘m 67 years old, tall and slim, BMI is 19.5. I need around 2.500 - 3.000 calories per day in order to keep my weight. But I would like to add a bit. I’m on WFPBD since five years, no sugar, no oil, no alcohol. I find it so hard, to eat that much, especially because I’m on 18:6, too. What can I add to my food in order to boast calorie intake? How shall distribute carbohydrates, protein and fat? Currently I’m on 65%, 17% and 18%. I don’t want to increase fat, as my LDL is around 100 and I would like to,come down a bit.
@@jaredj797 Wow - finally I found a bro 👊! Yes, my oat bowl is huge, too. 🥣. Let’s hope, that we get some good advice from Dr. Barnard. I think, we are not the only ones on the planet sharing this challenge.
The ideal ratio is 80% carbs, 10% fat, 10% protein. As long as your BMI is not under 15%, I wouldn’t worry about being too thin. Just focus on muscle growth; if I add more oatmeal it’s easier for me to gain a few pounds.
@@ninasnutritionandwellnessvideo BMI of 15 must be a mistake. BMI = body mass index. Pls explain.
@@wolfganghorak a BMI of 15% is healthy
@@ninasnutritionandwellnessvideo Not according to science.
You right my portion is zero because I have a lot of weight to lose😂😂😂they are highly addictive 😌
Can avacado be eaten?
With a history of vertebral fractures and kidney stones and oranges contain calcium but I feel orgenic and orange juice fire fresh should not be taken on an empty stomach.
But I read that a little fat is necessary to make some of the nutrients in greens bioavailable, and this is why some nuts or seeds are added to a salad so as not to use olive oil. Not true?
Nuts, like macadamia nuts, are great since fat is what is desirable when doing keto with intermittent fasting life-style. This guy seems to be grossing-over the fats alternative for losing weight. Fat is good in this instance, along with fiber-rich food minus all sugars and most carbs. I've done awesome on keto for several years now.
Yup, I think the MD in Dr. Neal Barnard, MD stands for Medical Disinformationist. Check out my post with the facts and all the evidence to back them up.
@@MF-lt8pq Where would I find your post? You have a link???
Aren't walnuts a bit superior? I saw a study saying that they don't cause much weight gain. Also aren't they more anti-cancer than the others? I've seen a study also saying that at 60g/day they lengthen telomeres. And besides maybe there's less tendency to binge on them because they have to be cracked open and also maybe less addictive.
As for the issue of fat preventing sugar from entering the cells, wouldn't it be possible to eat carbs at breakfast and dinner and eat fats with vegetables ( to increase absorption of certain vitamins ) at supper? Like say adding walnuts and olive oil to a big salad that includes carotenoids rich foods for better absorption, and lots of greens. This way we have the benefits of fats without affecting blood glucose and HBA1C much caused by a lot of fat and carbs at the same time.
Can u please provide a link to that telomere study. Thanks
@@MF-lt8pq I think I was wrong. I did a search and couldn't find what I was talking about. Walnuts slow telomeres shortening, but don't lengthen the telomeres.
@@Battery-kf4vu I had always heard that walnuts are the healthiest because they have a better ratio of omega 3 to omega 6. But it all depends on who you ask. Some say that almonds are healthier than walnuts. It's all very confusing.
@@davidsheriff9274 Yes, and walnuts also have about 4 times less oxalates and cause less weight gain.
Here's a poem about almond addiction:

I have all the nuts, chocolate (dark), seeds, nut butters, avocados, coconut milk, etc i can eat, and still bordeline underweight.
You may have an overactive thyroid, or suffer from nutrient malabsorption.
@@lf7065 tyroid function is excellent and all blood work as well.
I actually have no problems with my low weight. My point is rather o don't believe you need to be so careful with these foods, at least in the context of a mostly hfpbno diet
I cannot gain weight eating those either (am low bmi), and afraid of high glycemic foods. So my base is meat and healthy veg.
Yup, I think the MD in Dr. Neal Barnard, MD stands for Medical Disinformationist. Check out my post with the facts and all the evidence to back them up.
what about Smoking ?? can you make a topic about that ??
It would be a very short episode. Basically, don't smoke.

When the nuts are raw and unsalted, its alot easier to not overeat.
Chestnuts are the only nuts that are low in fat. Most of the calories come from carbohydrates, in fact, and they have a little protein, too. So they can be good to eat as far as nuts go, and still lose weight.
got high carb instead
The good doctor claims that 0 fat is perfectly ok. But what happens with the absorbtion of the 4 or 5 fat-soluble vitamins, among them vitamin A & D? I have posed this question on a number of sites including this one and VegSource (with which Dr Barnard is associated) and have never ever received any answer at all. I am both confused and disappointed
My husband and I are LOSING weight...about 10 lbs. so we started eating more nuts as in having a peanut butter butter sandwich. I know that we are eating too much fat and are prediabetic. Any advice?
Remove the bread! All refined foods are very unhealthy and mess with your blood sugars big time!
The calories shown on food labels are computed from how much heat can be produced by the food in a laboratory. However, this method of measuring calories is meaningless for foods that are poorly absorbed. The number of calories listed on the label can be much higher than those a person actually absorbs as many of the potential calories pass through undigested in the stool. This explains why blood fat levels are lower than expected after a person eats nuts.
Almonds provide 168 calories per serving, but the same serving actually provides 129 calories when computed by the modified method. This is mostly because of the loss of undigested fat, protein, and carbohydrate in the stool and some of the fat that has passed through the upper intestines is only absorbed after the nuts reach the colon, where bacteria ferment the cell walls to release some of the fat.
Hope that helps.
To prevent the weight loss, maybe dip carrot sticks in the peanut or almond butter ‘dip’, and skip the bread.
Than you can have that as ‘dessert’ after brkfst and/or lunch? Avocados are great to slice in top of your meals if you need more calories…
İ eat seeds, nuts,some grechka, much good fats, meat and of course good vegs, some cheese and many eggs but not high carbs any..stopped to loose weight any more..l didnt use any TD2 meds since 3 years either..( no meds at all, l am 72 years old)
Check out @mastering diabetes
So it's great for the good doctor to say "limit your nuts" but based on what study? I've been trying to find a study on this subject for years. I don't think there is any. I think this is his opinion which is as good as my opinion.
He said limit nuts if you have insulin reistance, dis-menorhea, cholesterol imbalance ect. I think the goal of keeping fat to 10-15% of diet is to reduce heart disease, blood pressure and diabetes.
@@k8eekatt Thanks for your comments but again, where's the study? I also hear over and over that those who eat nuts have lower all cause mortality but where's the study comparing one amount of nuts to another? Aren't we assuming that more nuts is worse rather than testing that assumption?
@@sojournern have you found Mastering Diabetes youtube channel? They have study citations, they are phDs but they have type 1 diabetes. I think another Dr. showed you CAN restore a diseased pancreas regarding type 2 diabetes with a low fat diet. His intervention is extreme: 800 cal per day for 8 weeks. It takes 2 years on 10-15% total cal. In fat to restore the pancreas, it worked for almost half the people. As for the quality of fat nuts, some are better than others because of the type of fat they have. I will see if I can find a good video with citations. The recent one on mastering diabetes was a survey of hundreds of studies, looking at total results so its not a fine focus on nuts alone, it's over 100,000 000 people and how they respond to low fat.
