Almonds - interesting tidbit
I was reading an article on AOL about healthy eating tips and this was an interesting study on almonds. I'm even more glad now that I snack on a little handful after I work out or as a little snack between a meal. Yay!
"In a study of 65 men and women who were following a low-calorie diet, California researchers found that those who noshed on the nuts shrank their waistlines nearly 50% more than dieters who didn't eat them, despite consuming the same number of calories. Likewise, Spanish researchers found that even without increasing exercise, a diet enriched with monounsaturated fatty acides (aka MUFAs, found in foods such as almondsd and avacados) decreased the accumulation of abdominal fat compared with a carb heavy diet, whi*****reased it."
