Nut day experiments

I was thrilled to complete three nut weeks, because such experiments are sometimes hard to fit in with real life. I’ve also eaten nothing but nuts on other days–some of them fragments of attempted nut weeks that fell apart when real life intervened. I've iron commitment to my experiments (and I love eating nuts), but I won’t put them ahead of real life (I'm no Dr Frankenstein).

The following two were on maintenance, when I needed a surefire way of knocking some weight back off.

There were also the nut oil experiments, which I've mentioned before.

Experiments with roasted, salted nuts gave worse results, so I didn’t pursue them (I prefer raw nuts, anyway).
