Macadamia nuts: low-carbohydrate snack that can help reduce cholesterol

One of my favorite nuts are macadamia nuts. They contain only 7% carbohydrate, 5% protein and 88% fat, most of which is unsaturated. Hence, they are perfect in a low-carb or very low-carb diet, and taste delicious, too.

Macadamia nuts also reduce cholesterol, when replacing saturated, cholesterol-rich, fat sources, like butter.86, 87

They are great as a snack, as something to bring along that doesn’t spoil, and can be eaten with your hands.

If you’ve ever thought that a low-carbohydrate diet is boring, give these nuts a try.
