Smart Diet Cookies add healthy sources of proteins to their daily diet plans - including nuts and seeds which are also a good source of fiber. As with all higher-calorie foods, the key to keeping calories in check is moderation. And yes indeedy, nuts are hefty in calories.

While sitting on the sofa in front of the tube with a can full of salted nuts isn't a good idea, enjoying a few of your favorite nuts - preferably in their natural state, is a great idea. In fact, many health benefits are associated with nuts such as almonds which may reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

In Weight Loss Motivation Summary

Adding a mix of healthy nuts and seeds to your daily diet plan is a smart way of adding a healthy dose of fiber and vegetable protein. Opt for unsalted nuts, as well as 'natural' nuts over roasted whenever possible. Nuts go rancid with time, so when purchasing canned or bagged nuts, always check the expiration date. Salted nuts add unwanted sodium content to the daily diet as well as risk for water retention. Also avoid sugar-coated nuts which come with empty sugar-coated calories.

In addition, never snack from the bag or can. Measuring out a serving size is a must in avoiding Calorie Overload. An even smarter dieting tip is to enjoy one or two nuts OR an assortment of nuts rather than a full-blown serving of one nut. Remember - variety is the spice of life!
