Weigth Loss with Almonds

Did you know that in addition to giving both mono-unsaturated fat, almonds can help you shed those unwanted pounds?

One group ate 1,000 calories / day liquid diet is equipped with 3 oz of almonds (384 additional calories) and other groups ate the same liquid diet but coupled with a mix of complex carbohydrates (such as wheat crackers, baked potatoes, or air-popcorn). Both diets were equal in calories and protein, but differed in fat and in addition to the liquid diet, they can also be a salad with lemon juice or vinegar dressing.
Fat diet containing almonds total of 39% including 25% from monounsaturated fats are healthy for the heart, whereas the non-almond diet containing 18% total fat, 5% from monounsaturated fat. Participants in the almond diet saw 18% reduction in body weight and body mass index (BMI) compared with 11% reduction in non-almond diet. In addition, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and the need for diabetes drugs more than non-almond diet.
