Nuts are a healthy fat, because they are plant-based and they contain unsaturated fat. A new article reports that substituting nuts for other, less healthy snacks can help people not gain weight and maybe even lose a little.
The catch is to not overeat nuts, which can be challenging. I am fortunate, because I like almonds, but I don’t like too many of them at once. I can literally eat 6 almonds and be satisfied. However, I do like them better inside dark chocolate. Or alongside a piece of fruit. I can’t say I’m quite to the point where 6 almonds fill me up for an extended period of time. But it’s certainly better than some things I could choose to eat, right?
How do you incorporate nuts into your eating plan?
