Are Nuts Really Healthy?
Should you be eating nuts? Many have sworn them off from their diet because of their high fat and caloric content. Others are just nutty about them and claim they are the key to living a longer life. So who is right?
"The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll and dietician Lee Crosby attempt to crack the shell of this case!
In this episode, you will learn which type of nuts are the healthiest and how they can play a pivotal role in combatting heart disease, cancer and diabetes. For such a small food, they can pack a mighty nutrition punch!
You'll also hear just how many nuts you should eat every day to avoid gaining weight.
Plus, celebrity chef Toni Fiore stops by for a chat. She chronicles her rise from humble culinary beginnings to hosting Delicious TV's Totally Vegetarian and authoring Totally Vegetarian: Easy, Fast, Comforting Cooking for Every Kind of Vegetarian. She's also the host of the VegEZ podcast.
