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.

Well done Gys,

I'm glad you found this article. In years gone bye I was surprised
how many trials had been done with ad libetum trials with various nuts
and weight. The surprising thing was that there wasn't weight gain.
One showed better body shape ie slimmer waist. That really surprised
me. I wondered if knowing they were eating nuts the participants
willingly adjusted their other eating habits.

Recently I've come with a novel hypothesis as to why eating nuts may
work. (It can wait, it is time to turn the computer off)

As you find nuts addictive I like to ask a couple of questions if I
may?

Do you eat roasted nuts?

Do you eat salted nuts?

Walnuts can be eaten without roasting and without salting.
In fact I believed it would be especially dangerous to roast walnuts
because of their omega-3 content. Omega-3 fats are the most
polyunsaturated and hence the most susceptible to oxidation.

Best wishes,

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.
