Peanuts will certainly cause weight gain as will a lot of other nuts if eaten regularly and in moderate amounts

I too have no problem with weight. As said, I eat them regularly, especially as a snack in the morning (no appetite at that time) - and also in order to cheat my system to believe I am feeding it - ha! - otherwise my liver might 'kindly' think that now it will need to dump some glucose as this person seems in need of that! Believe me, I have had several and severe conversations with my liver - but does it listen? (Rhetorical question).On UK packaging, the fibre has already been subtracted from the carbs. You don't subtract it again. As DD says, the carbs seem to vary from brand to brand so check the label.
I eat quite a lot of peanuts and have good weight loss and bg. Like everything else, test test test.
We need salt when we low carb. http://authoritynutrition.com/5-most-common-low-carb-mistakes/
I don't think anything is off the menu as long as we test. Luckily I am ok with legumes, but I am rubbish with carrots. Weird.Thnx Avocado.. Thought I'd read and learnt peanuts not off the menu....

Yes, we are all different. I dont need to bolus for some vegetables like cauli, cabbage, broccoli, runner beans etc, whereas you do.

Yes...but don't indulge too many ...the're fatteningJust been browsing through this thread and all this talk of salted peanuts is making my mouth water. Love them, what about dry roasted peanuts are they allowed on a type 2
Depends on which diet you follow. I eat them on lchf and am fine. Usually have a couple of handfuls. Lidl sell mixed nuts in a bag and I often have several handfuls a day of peanuts or the mixed nuts. Can't comment on healthy plate. Probably limited amounts on that but you'd need to ask someone.Yes...but don't indulge too many ...the're fattening
Great idea I will be doing this.If you buy red skin peanuts from the supermarket, you can roast them yourself. 200C for 15 mins. They dont really need salt. Alternatively, take them out after 10-12 mins and mix them in a bowl with some kind of chilli/garlic sauce and whack them back in for 5-10 mins. You have to keep an eye on them as once they are overdone, they are inedible.
I;ve been doing that for years. Its much cheaper and healthier than buying the salted ones.
yummy!!
