30 Bananas a Day!

Do you think we are supposed to eat nuts because in nature we wouldnt even be able to open their shells? I find they only taste good when they are roasted or flavoured? What does everyone think?

Yeah i agree with you a lot, I love Avos but i feel like nuts are addictive and make my skin break out
Yum coconut :D
Yum indeed. If I have a coconut every once in a while, then who needs another source right?
Try some raw cashews before you say you don't like any nuts unless they are roasted. I thought the same way until I tried some of those guys.
nuts only drop a few weeks of the year.
coconuts you risk your life to get and or they are really hard to get open.
seeds are hard to find.

i still eat them during the year when im around those areas. this automatically keeps them consumed at levels that dont give my health issues.

i strongly advise against people with digestive issues to have a break from all overt fats to give the whole digestive system a fat breather. fats are the hardest macro nutrient to digest and high fat diets are unhealthy regardless the source.

also when i eat nuts, seeds, coconut, i eat em mono of with some baby greens or tomato. i dont hid em in a big gourmet recipie cos then its easy to eat more than our body naturally desires.

i dont eat cashews and havent for coming up 3 years.

i hadnt eaten maccadamias for over a year and then had some recently whilst in north queensland and this rash on my arm started up again...interesting.

flax is the lowest fat content nut/seed and also the fastest digesting and easy to get fresh and ready to sprout.

nuts/seeds are a great way to store fat on the body if we have a long trek/ride etc coming up where food sources might be restricted a little. you can fatten up like a goose and complete the migration and if you run out of food or have to eat a little less, then your fat stores will carry you for a few days without going into the red zone. but i only recommend this for season raw athletes as the newbie will just end up undereating too much and going back to cooked and yo 'yo'n from there. :(

I get rashes from nuts too now - having gone no overts for a while. Took a bit of experimenting, but everything apart from almonds seems to make me break out. People don't usualy write about nuts resulting in eczema/rashes only.

Gotta follow the body's wisdom, guess it's different for everybody.
Well I can't really tell you if we are especially designed to eat nuts, but we can thrive on having some in our diet. And the beauty of having a brain is that we evolved to use tools to get to foods we wouldn't normally. Does it make it necessarily bad food for us? I think it's debatable.

Watch these monkeys use tools to get into nuts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGt-rlNKXSg

They say they had to learn those skills in that particular area because of scarcity of many other food choices. But you know they look like pretty healthy monkeys to me ;)

I will only eat nuts out of the shell now since I hear that most ready cracked nuts can be rancid. It stopps me from over eating them as well.
