You’re probably thinking “That’s crazy! All kinds of nuts are full of fat and calories!“ But it’s not exactly true. ”Nuts are rich in plant protein, dietary fiber, and healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, so nuts are a satiating food that may actually help suppress appetite,” explains Carol O’Neil, lead researcher and professor at Louisiana State University.

In addition to the numerous benefits, a handful of nuts will help you feel satiated: you will eat less and lose weight more effectively.
