Re: Almonds vs. Pistachio Nuts

[Guest guest]

It's actually 15 Almonds that you're allowed, and it's because

almonds are bigger. Remember this is about eating good fats, good

carbs, good protein, this isn't a low carb diet, it's about eating

whole foods. Hope this helps ;o)

I believe it has been updated to 1/4 cup each. BTW, 1 almond is bigger

than 1 pistachio so maybe that's why you were allowed more pistachios.

It also has to do with their glycemic index.

You can have 15 almonds. You can have more pistachios because they are smaller!
