Every food is a gift of nature when eaten mindfully. Cashews can give you peace and satiety during your weight loss journey because they satisfy hunger quickly. Just stay positive, listen to your body, and take care of your health with gratitude.

Haan na, people think cashews will make them fat, but that's not true if eaten in control. I replaced my evening oily biscuits with 5-6 raw cashews and it actually helped. Weight loss happens when we make these small changes, ho na?

Cashews are quite expensive anyway, so buying them in bulk for a diet plan might hurt your pocket. Plus, before starting any fancy diet, it's cheaper to just get a basic thyroid and lipid profile done for 500-600 Rs to see if there is an underlying issue. Plan your diet budget practically!

Yes, they are fine to eat during weight loss as long as you keep the portion size very small. They have good nutrients that keep your energy levels up. Wish you the best on your health journey.

I consult a clinical dietitian at Apollo and she told me that while cashews have healthy fats, the calories add up very fast. It is always better to ask your doctor or a qualified dietitian to calculate your specific calorie needs instead of guessing.

I used to completely avoid cashews thinking they are full of fat, but my nutritionist told me they help keep cravings away. Now I carry a tiny box of 5 cashews in my bag for those 4 PM office cravings. It really works and stops me from buying samosas!

I totally get it, trying to lose weight while constantly feeling hungry is so frustrating. Cashews are actually very filling because of the healthy fats and protein, so they can stop you from bingeing. Just stick to a tiny portion daily so you don't overshoot your daily calories.
