>Do you eat the nuts raw?  How do they taste?

shelled but raw :)  i eat walnuts and pecans, taste good.

>Has anyone switched from Atkins to NeanderThin and had better weight losses?

i was stuck for more than a month on atkins.  the week i switched to
neanderthin i lost 5 pounds, and 5 more the week after that.  nothing more
the past 2 weeks (but i may be becoming a tad too fond of that dry-fruit/nut
trail mix -- i'm going to cut back on that, and see if it helps)
