Fruits and vegies

[Bigjohn]

My doctor has recommended to eat more fruit and vegetables to get more fiber in my diet, I am on the road a lot, so it is easy to pop into the gas station and get taco or chips jerky, you know what I mean.
Recently I have seen gas station selling fruit so now when I am hungry instead of reaching for those nuts I eat a slice of fruit; I must say that only after a week I feel better.

John, here is what I do. I will have an apple and then have a small handfull of nuts with the apple. Have walnuts or almonds whatever you like. Make sure the nuts are not roasted but raw from the shell. Nuts are good for you and have good fats in them. Just make sure not to eat a whole bunch. They will help to curb your hunger.

I love nuts but have stayed away from them because I read somewhere that they were high in fat and protein, but I have never seen them raw, do you get them at the supermarket or at a health food store?

You can go to your local health food stores or large supermarkets such as Fred Meyer if you have one in your area. Or you can buy nuts in the shell and shell your own. Nuts have good fats in them. Just don"t eat a whole lot at a time. A small palm full is good with a piece of fruit.;)

Ok got them I had to ask after scanning the isles up and down they were there all the time just did not see them, they sure taste different I am acquiring quite a taste for them, thanks for the tip.

Thank you Leerohr, I have been missing that crunch and trying to follow my doctors advice has been hard, so now telling me I can eat nuts again is great, I will look for them in the supermarket.

It is so easy when you are driving to munch on the road, but instead of eating those chips and so on, fruit is so much better I love ice cold water melon.

love to snack on nuts while driving. helps me stay awake. used to use m&ms and you can guess where they went. you're right - right to my back side. the fat in nuts is great for you.
