Eating Nuts Reduces the Risk of Gaining Weight
I am a BIG fan of eating raw nuts. They are not only good for your health, they also good for loosing weight. Every time when I recommend eating them, people give me ‘funny’ looks and ‘preach’ about the calories and the amount of fat in them and that eating them will make me gain weight.
You may be surprised, BUT nuts are a rich source of nutrients and not to forget they protect your cardiovascular system. And it may surprise you even more to know that researchers from Spain and America, including Harvard and Purdue University came up with surprising results after studying almost 9,000 men and women. They found that eating nuts at least twice a week could lower the risk of gaining weight.
Nuts contain LOTS of fibre, which has an appetite suppressing effect, which makes it easier to stick to your diet.
Personally I snack organic, raw nuts every day between meals. Walnuts, almonds, and with my favourite being pine nuts, pecans, cashews and macadamia. Try them with green tea and you may find that they reduce hunger from one meal to another.
Make sure they are ORGANIC!!!
