Nuts

You know, nut really fills you up. They are chewy. They are really great, great food, great protein, great minerals, and essential fats, of course, and they fill you up, and they give you good nourishment, so they are a great snack. Instead of a chocolate bar, you get a handful of nuts. Um, what I tell people about nuts, again, the general population coming into our place. Two-thirds of the people are overweight or obese, so we have to have adequate calorie density. And that's why the inclusion of grains and starches. But you also have to deal with too much calorie density on the diet when people show up. So when we get the oils out of the diet, and when we relegate foods like avocados, nuts and those types of things to when they appear in a dish. OK, so, you know, if I go get a black bean wrap at a restaurant and has some avocado in it, that's great. But if I buy a bag full of avocados and I go home and I start putting them in my food, when I buy a bag of cashews or a bag of almonds, let's take a nut we would all agree on is OK, a bag of almonds, and I'm taking a handful of almonds. It's very difficult for people to stay lean and keep their fat intake down when they're eating almonds.
