Re: Help!! I ate 12oz of mixed nuts in 24 hrs

As an emotional eater, I have to ask: does it truly set off a binge or are you eating out of boredom? If it's the binge, then ditch the nuts. If it's out of boredom, then try what I do....measure out the portion you're going to eat for the day and put the rest away. Once I've eaten my portion, I don't eat more. I have to choose another food. However, if it's a binge food (for me: mostly anything with sugar added)....I avoid it entirely. It's like giving a crack addict a tiny bit of of crack. Bad, very bad!!!!

I read in DANDR (p. 75) that after the first two weeks of Induction, you can introduce nuts and seeds into your menus but they should be eaten in moderation. I have the 2002 version of the book.

a few days ago.....i took 10 macadamia nuts out of the jar and had them during my commute home. i live about 30 minutes from where i work. i figured i would have one macadamia nut per exit. there are about 10 exits off the main highway that i travel every day...between my home and work. well, i was strong enough to make them last for the entire ride home....but those 10 little nuts...lemme tell ya!! i guess i am not so ready for them just yet LOL
