Just make sure you get a brand without added oils, preservatives, or other junk that can be bad for you. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

If it does this, then you need to eliminate something else or add more energy expenditure which can be and is unrealistic at some point. ============ Quoting from KC_72: And...check the portion size so you stay within your calories...and fat intake...nuts are high in fat...which is good in moderation...however if your snacking on a cups worth of peanuts throughout the day...your waist line will never shrink..and with the salt you'll want to stay on top of the water... ============= -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
