Low Carb Charts - Main Listing
If you don't currently eat nuts, there are a variety of ways to get them into your diet. You can sprinkle nuts over your salad. You can put them over your dessert, or your morning cereal or eggs. You can have a small snack of nuts during the afternoon. Just remember to eat them in moderation. Don't sit down with the entire jar of nuts and eat mindlessly through it. Pour out a small ramekin of nuts and then eat them attentively. Savor the flavors. That helps you to feel full more easily, and it keeps overeating in check.
Pecans are a great nut to become fond of, with their low carb count.
