Induction and nuts

Why are nuts not allowed on induction? Now that more science has emerged on the role of fiber, 1 oz of pecans is very low in carbs if you are now netting your fiber.

Nuts are very calorically dense and very easy to overeat.......
Some are quite higher in carbs than others........

Did I say nuts are easy to overeat?????????

I think nuts are an excellent addition to OWL. One great trick is to buy them unshelled. This helps limit your consumption.

Yes, they're easy to overeat. I bought a large package of pecans for my kids. A few days later I couldn't find them. It turns out that dh ate the entire thing.

I usually use nuts to cook /bake with I eat almond thins with my salad with chicken or tuna at lunch most days . For something sweet I make almond butter cookies I keep them in the freezer and eat a couple at a time yum.

On Induction you are supposed to eat 3-4 cups of veggies, olives, avocado, lemon juice and cheese as sources of your carb intake because these foods are the least likely to cause cravings.

1 oz. of nuts can be added when you add an additional 5 grams to your plan.
