Scientists have noticed for many years that people who regularly eat almonds tend to weigh less than people who do not – even though they tend to eat more calories over the course of a day -medical news today
MY COMMENTS: Almonds and other nuts are also a good source of protein, healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and Vitamin E. In the study, subjects ate 56 grams (just under 2 ounces) of almonds per day.
Chewing almonds 25 or 40 times before swallowing led to significantly more unsaturated fat than those who chewed the almonds only 10 times before swallowing, according to findings presented last week at the 17th European Congress of Obesity in Amsterdam and published recently in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Chewing 40 times was found to suppress hunger and elevate the feeling of fullness more than 25 chews. Furthermore, two hours after consumption, hunger levels were higher and fullness levels were lower after 25 chews than after 10 and 40 chews, said the researchers.
