Nuts = Weight Loss?
Despite nuts being high in fat and calories, new research indicates that nuts can also aid in weight loss.
Researchers at Purdue University have found that adding almonds to a calorie-controlled eating plan can assist in weight loss. Although the study was short-term and small in sample size, it does demonstrate that people were able to eat nuts and control or lose weight.
How? The mechanism is still unclear, but the researchers think that the fat content in nuts may promote satiety, the feeling that you're full, or the protein in nuts may burn more calories during digestion.
Nuts are high in calories but are also cholesterol-free and they provide good sources of protein, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, vitamin E and selenium. In small portions, nuts can be a healthful food choice.
