Maybe you are eating too many nuts. Poeple arent suppose to eat more than 2 teaspoons of sunflower seeds a day. And 5 pecans are equal to 1 tablespoon of oil. That isn't healthy at all. Raw foodist's think eating pounds of nuts a day are healthy. But it isn't. it is important to incorporate them into the diet sensibly.
A one-ounce serving of nuts greatly differs.
The following equal one ounce: 24 almonds, 18 medium cashews, 12 hazelnuts or filberts, 8 medium Brazil nuts, 12 macadamia nuts, 35 peanuts, 15 pecan halves and 14 English walnut halves (3). Prepackaging nuts into small, single-serving containers or bags can help keep the servings under control. All it takes is one, one-ounce serving a day or five ounces per week of a variety of nuts to stay healthy. Anything more than that is not healthy. The stomach will have a hard time digesting all those nuts. Nuts are hard on the stomach digest just like meat.

Here is your food pyrmid. You aren't suppose to be eating more than 2 servings of nuts a day. So if you eat a pound a week and only one day a week, then that is toooo many. For instance, if you eat a raw food cake with brazillian nut crust, then you are overdosing your body on nuts. If you eat too many, then you can get nut food poisoning.
