I want to get started with ultrametabolism, and my husband would like to do it with me.  The concern is, he thinks that nuts have always aggravated his sinus problems, and he is currently battling a sinus infection.  I started looking at recipes and making my shopping list and found that almost all of the recipes include nuts.  It seems that if I leave them out, many of the calories, good fats and other nutrients will also be excluded.  What should I do to replace these nutrients?  Also, can I cook with the nut oils, even if my husband can't eat the whole nuts?

I want to be clear, my husband does NOT have a nut allergy that causes anaphylactic shock and requires emergency medical care.  He just thinks nuts make his symptoms worse.  If this diet will clear up his sinusitis, I'm hoping he might be able to eat nuts with no problem.  I just don't know if it makes sense to eliminate a lot of potential allergens from his diet, but at the same time add in something that he already suspects to cause problems.

 Please advise.

I don't know if this helps, but I thought I was getting an allergy to nuts too before we started the program--especially peanuts.  After we did the US week (we didn't have any nuts that first week) I started reintroducing them into our diet--stomach problems with them before had disappeared.  I think the detoxing identifies what is really the problem food.  Mine was wheat.  I did suspect it was one of the culprits but never suspected it was the major cause of my stomach pain, diarrhea, and swelling, etc. etc.  So encourage your husband to do the detox with you--it is sooo much easier when you are both on the program!  Mama Foodie

Sorry, I didn't address your question about the nut oils.  We only used Olive Oil the first month or so and then started using Toasted Sesame Seed Oil (just a little mixed with the olive oil for flavor).  Hope this helps, I noticed a lot of people post that their sinuses really clear up.  I know my son's breathing sure improved.
