Step 1
Create a nut diet plan that works for you by selecting your favorites. Choose from the favored almonds, cashews and peanuts to the less mainstream walnuts, filberts, pistachios and Brazil nuts.
-
Step 2
Eat nuts in moderation because they're high in calories. A handful, the equivalent of a 1-oz. serving size, is more than enough to reap the rewards of their healthful benefits.
-
Step 3
Aid weight loss by including peanuts, peanut butter or peanut oil in your diet. Even a nut diet plan as simple as this enhances dieting through flavor and nutritional benefits.
-
Step 4
Substitute nuts for unhealthy snacks. Drop those bags of chips and pretzels in favor of a healthy serving of nuts. Your nut diet plan best serves you by replacing high-carb, salty and fried snacks with the better alternative of unsalted, nonfried nuts.

Step 5
Shop for healthy foods containing nuts. The Food and Drug Administration approved a special logo so we can identify heart-healthy foods. Many of these products contain nuts because of their cholesterol-lowering agents.
