Health tip of the day:
If you suffer from kidney stones, urolithiasis, it is very likely that you are consuming an excessive amount of oxalates. ~80% of these stones are calcium oxalate, and calcium is not the problem. Where are oxalates found? In short, in plants. Here are some examples of plants with the highest concentration:
- Spinach
- Rhubarb
- Beets
- Nuts and seeds
- Legumes
- Potatoes (especially if consumed with the skin)

As for the nuts, there are still many that are healthy to keep eating, like walnuts, pecans, pistachios, etc. And some seeds are still good, like sunflower seeds. Off the top of my head. .You can look up low oxalate nuts and seeds.
Hi! Those are good alternatives, especially if you want to minimize the side effects of oxalate dumping. Nonetheless, it's fairly easy to overeat nuts and seeds and that combined with the fact that they are also rich in carbohydrates, you can create glucose/insulin problems in the long run. I'd treat them as a small occasional treat. Cheers!
I should have said you also want to go raw, which is fewer carbs. For example:
-Walnuts:
Fat: 83%
Protein: 15.51%
Carbs: 13.96%
-Pecans:
Fat per oz: 20grams
Protein: 4grams
Carbs: 2.6grams
-Pistachios:
Fat per oz: 13.4grams
Protein: 5.8grams
Carbs: 7.8grams
*And these are all healthy fats that reduce weight; fats make you thin, not fat.
