PORTION DISTORTION
You didn’t create the oversized portions, and it isn’t your fault.
BUT---Size Does Matter !
Downsizing servings
A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
found that women who shrank their portions by 25%
slashed 250 calories a day—enough to help them
lose a half-pound a week—and still felt full.

calorie foods and lower levels of physical activity.

GO NUTS!
Nutrition Facts and Figures
All nuts provide the following beneficial nutrients:
The Favorable Fats- Although nuts are high in fat, the majority of the fat is healthy mono- and
polyunsaturated fat. Unsaturated fats lower "bad" LDL-cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart
disease. Protein Power- Nuts are one of the best plant sources of protein and can be a great substitute for
some of the animal protein in ones diet.
Vitamin E Vitality- Most nuts are high in vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that may help prevent LDL
cholesterol from oxidizing. LDL oxidation causes cholesterol to adhere to artery walls and block blood flow.
Nuts have more vitamin E than any other food (except for oils).
Fiber- All nuts contain fiber, which can help lower your cholesterol (soluble fiber) and keep you regular
(insoluble fiber). Fiber also makes you feel full (aiding in weight loss) and fiber is thought to play a role in
preventing diabetes.
Cancer Cutting Compounds- Nuts contain a variety of compounds that may help decrease one’s risk of
cancer. They are good sources of various flavonoids, phytochemicals and antioxidants.
Although ALL nuts provide the above health benefits, all nut varieties are not created equal.
Walnuts (1ounce = 15 nuts) - High in alpha-linolenic acid, an essential (omega-3) fatty acid that helps to lower
triglyceride levels, reduce the risk of blood clots, and lower blood pressure. Also, walnuts contain a
compound called ellagic acid that provides many anti-cancer properties.
