Hello doggiedo: I don't know that I have much in the way of suggestions for you. What I have found is that not having the stuff in the house is the best answer. I absolutely adore mixed nuts... hey... you are what you eat! Anyway... if I have them in the house I'll keep gorging myself on them until they're gone. So I simply have to not have them in the house. Then I can't gulp them down by the handful.
