A nutty phenomenon

Eat nuts, poop energy! Well, at least that's part of a theory involving the consumption of nutritionally-dense nuts without weight gain. (via Lyle McDonald at bodyrecomposition)

"...a fairly large body of research indicates that nuts don’t seem to impact body weight negatively, at all. That is, various research studies have provided some amount of nuts in addition to the normal diet to see what happens to body weight. In general, the addition of nuts has had limited or no impact on body weight. Phrased differently, despite the addition of calories from nuts, weight doesn’t change/isn’t affected. What’s going on?"

Pretty nutty I would say.
