Is it safe to eat so-called 'Good fats' when on a diet?!
Question: I like things like nuts (especially cashews) and avocados. These foods' fat grams are off the charts, and nuts are something like 50% fat! Yet more nutritionists and what not are saying they're good for you. Confused. So my answer is, altho they may be good for me, will they make me gain weight?

Cashews and avocados are not very good when dieting. At least eat then from time to time (once a week in small quantity).

You want to eat walnuts or almonds. Both are very good for you with walnuts having the highest Omega-3 fats. Those fats are good for you.
Here's the key:
You have to change your diet so that you are burning fat very efficiently. It's how your body wants to work anyway. Do this by learning how to eat Low Glycemic meals and watch your portions. You won't even feel like you're depriving yourself of anything. When you get into "fat burning" mode, eating a handful of nuts once a day will be good for you.
Look into the Mediterranean Diet. It's probably the best one out there because it's not really a diet. It's a way of eating. Those people have a diet that includes nuts as a popular part of their eating and they are not fat. It's because their whole diet allows their bodies to burn fat very well.
Look into Low Glycemic eating...then you can eat the almonds or walnuts.
