Are Sun Flower Seeds that fattening?

Im going to start my diet today. Im 180lb and im 5%26#039;7. I want to lose about 40lbs by Februaury because my husband comes back from deployment and I want to look good. Anyway I eat sunflower seeds all day long. I think that they help slow down on my smoking also. Does anyone know if they are fattening? I know that I eat alot of fattening foods and eat late at night but im gonna try and stop that, but I really dont want to stop the habbit of the sunflower seeds unless I can find out if they are contributing to my wieght gain. Hopefully someone knows, and if they are what else could I eat that gives me something to do, but doesnt make me fatter. Thanks

yes and no the salted ones are the natural ones arn%26#039;t
Reply:Yes they are, both the salted and the natural kind. However there is good news for you, sunflower seeds contain the kind of natural fatty acids that our body needs! The kinds that are actually healthy for us. If you stop eating a lot of fatty foods and stop eating late at night, get in some exercise, you will be fine. 40lbs by February is feasible, but you%26#039;re going to have to bust your ***.
Reply:Sunflower seeds are highly caloric, but they contain only healthy fats. Over eating any one food will contribute to weight gain. Limit your sunflower seeds to 2 Tablespoons (level) per day, that%26#039;s about 180 calories. You can eat lots of veggies for almost no calories, I love carrots (plain %26amp; raw). Increase your veggies, fruit and whole grains. Cut all soda and high fructose foods out. And %26quot;deploy%26quot; yourself for a daily brisk walk.
