Hi Gys,

Thanks for presenting this research. I hope everyone will read it
because it is of central importance to T2 diabetics.

It is great to see someone has tested a general hypothesis that it
helps to have olive oil or nuts with meals to reduce oxidative stress
and blood glucose excursions.

Hi Quentin,
for people on a low calorie diet, like me, who are a bit afraid of nuts
because of their very high energy density I found the article below.

For me nuts are so "addictive" that they do cause me some problems and 1
single walnut = 40kCal..... So I sometimes buy 5 walnuts, causing a lot of
hilarity in the supermarket :)

What are we doing in this "old" thread btw

J Nutr. 2008 Sep;138(9):1741S-1745S.
Impact of peanuts and tree nuts on body weight and healthy weight loss in
adults.

Nuts (ground and tree) are rich sources of multiple nutrients and their
consumption is associated with health benefits, including reduced
cardiovascular disease risk. This has prompted recommendations to increase
their consumption. However, they are also high in fat (albeit largely
unsaturated) and are energy dense. The associations between these
properties, positive energy balance, and body weight raise questions about
such recommendations. This issue is addressed through a review of the
literature pertaining to the association between nut consumption and energy
balance. Epidemiological studies document an inverse association between the
frequency of nut consumption and BMI. Clinical trials reveal little or no
weight change with inclusion of various types of nuts in the diet over 1-6
mo. Mechanistic studies indicate this is largely attributable to the high
satiety property of nuts, leading to compensatory responses that account for
65-75% of the energy they provide. Limited data suggest chronic consumption
is associated with elevated resting energy expenditure resulting in
dissipation of another portion of the energy they provide. Additionally, due
to poor bioaccessibility, there is limited efficiency of energy absorption
from nuts. Collectively, these mechanisms offset much of the energy provided
by nuts. The few trials contrasting weight loss through regimens that
include or exclude nuts indicate improved compliance and greater weight loss
when nuts are permitted. This consistent literature suggests nuts may be
included in the diet, in moderation, to enhance palatability and nutrient
quality without posing a threat for weight gain.
