If you are just starting out and you are craving nuts, by all means eat them! They are a great transition food that helps you to feel full and get the protein that your body is addicted to. Just please make sure that the nuts are soaked before eating them!!!! Eating raw nuts is worse than eating cooked ones. Nuts and seeds and beans have something called enzyme inhibitiors in them that keep them from growing. The problem is that they also will keep you from digesting them unless you soak them, rinse them and throw out the soak water. Soaked nuts, seeds, beans are much higher in protein and nutrients as well.

Enjoy your soaked nuts - manga!
