For a long time, I was actually afraid of nuts.
I would avoid them completely because in my head it was simple:
high fat = weight gain.
I remember standing in my kitchen one day, picking up a bag of almonds… and then putting them back. I genuinely thought, “These will make me gain weight.”
So instead, I’d choose something “low-calorie”…Something that didn’t satisfy me…And, unsurprisingly, I’d end up grazing later anyway.
