How Nuts Can Contribute to Weight Loss

Ingredients: How Nuts Can Contribute to Weight Loss: The basic equation for weight management is rooted in the Newtonian Laws of Thermodynamics: You can't create or destroy energy, you can only change its form. In the nutrition world, this is translated as "calories in = calories out."
Many diet enthusiasts hate this very notion. In fact, some decry that accounting for calories is old fashioned and out of date, that it's carbohydrates or fat that make us fat. "Calories are not all created equal!" they cry. While such a declaration is intended to sound visionary, it plays off an interesting caveat to the generality of the equation: Humans are not walking calorimeters.
