If you don’t eat cheese or nuts, your body weight is mostly determined by the amount of carbohydrate you eat. If you do eat cheese or nuts or both, all bets are off. Cheese provides way too many calories, way too fast. Nuts provide way too many calories and way too many carbohydrates, way too fast. If you want to lose weight, don’t eat cheese or nuts, and keep your carbohydrate intake under 60 grams a day. If you want to maintain your weight, keep your carbohydrate intake under 120 grams a day, and take it real easy on cheese and nuts.
