Default Diet doubts over counting calories

hello all was wondering what type of diet plan everybody was on. i am new to
the group and am following weight watchers am starting back on the program
after being off of it for a month and half maybe a bit more. trying to get
some new ideas for meals to spice up my diet a little also in need of some
different exercises as well. i do my work out s at home because i can't
afford to join a gym right now although i would love to.

also i am new to this board as well

The waistline measurements of those on the moderate fat diet with
almonds fell by 14%, compared with 9% for the other group.


Barry Sears discusses this in "Enter the Zone". His theory is that
eating facts tells the body to burn fats for fuel. If you only eat
carbs, your body will be less prone to burn fats.

Other benefits of eating fats:

- Stimulate production of hormones that signal satiety
- Taste good
- Nuts are full of good vitamins etc

A little goes a long way though. I have a small handful (e.g. 12
almonds) of nuts before each meal, and no other fats except what comes
within other foods like lean meat.
