There is a dieting theory called MUFA (monosaturated fatty acids). They claim that by eating nuts and olive oil daily, it helps reduce belly fat ( I don't believe that belly fat can be 'removed' with exercise and a clean eating diet...not just by adding MAFA items). I know almonds and some olive oil provide heart-healthy fats into your diet.
The flavor of nuts are improved by toasting the,. This can be done in the oven ( 400 degree's for 5-6 minutes), or in a pan on the stove top ( spray the pan with buttered flavored Pam in your skillet first). When toasting either way, stay close to the stove. Nuts can burn quite quickly.
