Go (a Little) Nuts
November 28, 2001
Do you avoid eating nuts because of their high fat and calorie counts? You shouldn’t! Researchers recently gathered the results of 31 trials across the world, and found that there was little difference in the weights or waist sizes of people who ate nuts and those who didn’t. They believe this might be because nuts’ protein, unsaturated fat and fiber all help suppress our hunger. Just don’t go nut crazy—keep your servings to a small handful.
