Question: Do you eat raw or roasted nuts? In the SBD book, it recommends dry roasted...in the Good Fats guide, it recommends either/or, depending on the type of nut (almonds and macadamia raw).

Raw sound healthier to me (less processed).

Any thoughts would be welcomed!

I agree that raw shoudl be best choice....next best is dry roasted....it all comes down to chosing the one you enjoy.

When I eat cashews, I like the raw but love the roasted /salted!! They are very hard to eat just 1 oz so I only buy 1 oz bags when I'm out of the house.

Very helpful, Judy, thanks!

I find salted nuts really hard to stop eating, too.

Today's SBD Daily Dish:

The Power of Lean Protein!
Lean protein is a core part of your meal plan on the South Beach DietŪ and there's a good reason why: Lean protein allows you to maintain muscle mass while losing weight, which keeps your metabolism running at full speed. Cutting back on protein during weight loss, on the other hand, contributes to a loss of muscle mass and a slower metabolism. Lean protein is also an excellent choice when it comes to satisfying hunger and keeping blood sugar levels steady.
When it comes to protein, the best choices include lean cuts of beef (such as eye of round), ground beef (sirloin, lean, and extra-lean), tenderloin, top loin, and top round, as well as skinless turkey and chicken breast, pork loin and pork tenderloin, fish and shellfish, and soy-based meat alternatives that contain less than 6 grams of fat per 2- to 3-ounce serving. Protein sources that are high in saturated fat should be avoided. These include brisket, liver, rib steaks (like prime rib), chicken and turkey pieces with the skin (as well as dark meat), duck, and goose.
