I am also convinced that nuts are healthy. Can you provide arguments otherwise? They are full of unsaturated fats, protein, and fiber, which, paired with an overall balanced diet, make them for sure a net positive.
I'm not saying that nuts aren't healthy. You have to take the combination of the 3 points.
I am saying that unrestricted over-consumption of any food type is bad. Now make extreme over-consumption easy/feasible by selecting high energy density foods presented in a slow but steady consumption pattern that will defy any form of natural satiety limit and you end up with a very unhealthy accumulation of energy extracted from otherwise healthy foods.
I am not making these stories up. I see people consuming 2 bags of nuts, that is 3400 kcal, outside and on top of 3 heavy meals of cheeses and meats per day, and they truly wonder what it is they are doing wrong and why they aren't losing weight as they are completely following 'low carb' diets.
