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."

You know which ones are the best?  The Blue Diamond Bold Salt & Vinegar.  I know they are not the best choice health wise, but oh my do they taste good!  I take my little handful and close the cover and put it far back in the cupboard so I'm not tempted to overdo it. lol

I LOVE the chili lime flavor.  YUM!  Having a salt craving as I type this.  Don't think I'll be trying almonds again for a while though.
