Honey roasted nuts?



Recommended Posts

I was just cleared to eat nuts. They were always my go to snack and usually I would keep a container with honey roasted nuts in the event I had a sweet tooth. Do you think these are safe to eat now? I'm 4 weeks Post Op.

Honey roasted peanuts are perfectly safe to eat, but they may or may not lead to a stall/plateau of your weight loss due to the added sugar.

A better choice would be unsalted or lightly salted dry roasted peanuts.

Blue Diamond has a nice line of flavored almonds. I like the Sriracha and smokehouse flavors. I always measure them out because I can mindlessly eat them. Lower carbs than honey roasted (which I love but don't eat now)

Good to know. I had two halves of a peanut yesterday and it was dry I couldn't get anymore down. But it was enough to get that sugar craving gone.

Sweets beget more sweets. At first, most of us are blessed with an intolerance to anything very sweet. Over time, that goes away, and sweets will taste good again. It's a good idea to really think about whether you'll WANT to get used to sweets again. And whether to start "giving in" to sugar cravings.

I don't have a problem with the carbs in the peanuts, per se.. the problem is with continuing to eat sugar in any form (except that which is naturally occurring in fruits and vegetables). Eat an apple, it's sweet. Eat a honey roasted peanut, then eat the apple.. and the apple isn't really sweet anymore.

fruit at least comes with Vitamins and fiber.. sugar is just...cocaine. And just as addictive.

The weight loss phase after surgery is relatively short. You will soon slide into the maintenance phase. It is important to maximize the weight loss during the weight loss phase. Consuming honey roasted nuts will make it difficult to reach your goals due to high sugar content.

I find almonds to be my go to or cashews. But I avoid the honey roasted stuff. Starts me down a nasty slope.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
