brazil nuts and my glowing beautiful skin!! *preens*

[mummee09v]

ladies

i HAVE to share something with you.

it might sound a bit strange but i was reading somewhere that brazil nuts are REALLY good for your skin and the article recommended that you eat 3 a day, as its meant to give you noticeably better skin. as well as having other health benefits (cant remember what they were - i was sold on the skin bit!)

anyway i bought a big bag last saturday and have been eating 3 a day as suggested, and i dont know if it is a co incidence but my skin looks AMAZING. its "glowier" and i am sure it looks more plumped up and its slightly shiny but in a good way if that makes sense!!

Ate my 3 brazil nuts - realised I don't particularly like brazil nuts but will persevere in the name of beauty.

oh bum forgot only 3 nuts reqired.

i ate 12

will it work faster do you think?

MayorNaze I joined you and accidentally finished the packet.

I have also eaten my 3 brazil nuts today

I decided to play it safe and ate 4...LOL at finishing packet jenduff, you must be positively glowing!

I will def try the M&S Belgium choc coated ones - purely in the interests of getting dewy skin....

do you think i could try chocolate brazil nuts?

Just to remind everyone to have their brazil nuts today of course some ate a weeks supply yesterday so will need to go shopping!

I had a real craving for brazil nuts when I was pg - ate loads of em; but also had reeeeeaallly crap skin- all spotty and yuck!

So are you nut guzzlers all glowing and gorgeous today?

I ate half an avocado last night and today I look great. But these things may not be related.

Bought another pack of brazil nuts and ate 10 of them as was hungry while out and about with DD.

Sadly the only thing that is glowing on my face is a mahooosive spot but hoping the brazil nuts will knock it into touch ahead of a night out at the weekend.

I bought a packet and ate -many-- a few, as remembered seeing this thread. Will continue daily and expect teenage girl skin within a week's time.

Do you think this thread might have "The Delia Effect"? Will all the supermarkets be running out of brazil nuts this week?

I'm still not glowing, and I exfoliated yesterday (rare event) so I feel doubly cheated. That said I haven't had brazil nuts today

I was eating almonds instead of brazils as you get more for your points and I'm doing WW. Two brazils are a point whereas you get five almonds.

I will sometimes have brazil instead though, I forgot they are particularly good for you. Good for mood too I think.

and my skin is crap atm!

I think there is selenium in Brazils which is quite hard to get elsewhere in our diet, might be wrong though

Nigella does it apparently, 3 brazils that is.

brazil nuts are far more tasty than i expected

so if i eat brazils AND almonds, will i look like a lovely peach?!!

I nicked some Brazil nuts out of dh's cereal this morning. They have always been one of my favourite nuts.

well i have a vast bag of each in my kitchen, the only trouble is i keep dipping into them every time i pass..

I am trying this out of desperation - my skin is crap at the moment and we are having family portraits done on Saturday! I'm on day 3 and haven't noticed an improvement yet - ekkkkkk it better work before Saturday!

I've been eating on brazil a day for years, must up it

I have to say for someone who is thirty eleven my skin is not too bad, perhaps upping the dose now will help me stave off botox another few years

lol at thirty 11, i like it
