So is Almond Butter a no go really? I've seen lots of people say they take with good results.
As long as youre not making it a fat staple you should be fine.

I feel the biggest issue what nuts and nut butter is how easy they are to overeat. Just make use you don't go crazy on it and use measured portions.

I do the same thing. I will put nuts in to snack bags so I know how much I eat, and it's pretty easy for me to eat just a tablespoon of most nut butters, as long as it's not coconut butter, then all bets are off.
Chicken skin is very rich in omega 6 fatty acids, as are many nuts actually. Best eaten in moderation IMHO
From that nut oil article, kiefer says that monounsaturated fats, like olive oil, are easiest to be stored as body fat, not polys. Polys include both omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, so saying you should avoid polys altogether are wrong. Get lots of omega 3 and as little as possible omega 6 as possible, as they can cause inflammationSent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 2

I strongly disagree. Do what you want and see how it goes. EDIT: Polyunsaturated Fats have been shown to lower cholesterol. Joe Public would think this is a good thing. However we know different. They have also been shown to increase oxidative stress and deplete Glutathione levels in the body. Neither of which is a good thing.
Confused now… So instant oats are ok? If I have them with maple syrup would that be ok for a backload every now and then?

I'm not arguing with you over the fact that we should consume much polyunsaturated fats except for omega 3. That part is true. Excess polys cause a lot of inflammation. What I'm disagreeing with is when you say that polyunsaturated fats are easy to be stored as adipose tissue, whereas kiefer says that monounsaturated fats such as olive oil is what easiest to be stored as fat.Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 2

You mean you dont think that polys can also be easily stored as far? Isnt that the idea behind the omega 3 and their incorporation into cell membranes? Omega 3 is a PUFA therefore you cant suggest that its handled any different than the other Polys. If the body readily stores omega 3s then all other polys are likewise stored. The body prefers to burn its saturated fats so if your bodyfat is made up on polys/monos its going to be harder to get rid of. Its also going to produce undesirable health effects when it is liberated and burned due to peroxidation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_peroxidation
I've recently started having a little bit of almond butter (1-2tsp) a few days a week, it's lush. I also read this: http://caloriesproper.com/?p=1676 which has changed my viewpoint of almonds somewhat. Not only that but they seem to blunt the glycemic response: http://caloriesproper.com/?p=1749

I recall reading a similar article from another source as well

In reading the first article Im curious as to what benefits you find worthwhile enough to include this in your diet?
