Eating a Handful of Nuts a Day May Help With Weight Control, Study Finds - Everyday Health

Researchers at Harvard University found that eating a handful of nuts may help with weight loss and maintenance.

Nuts, whether you add a handful a day to your regular diet or swap them for your daily bag of potato chips and have nuts instead, may help you maintain your weight or drop unwanted pounds, according to a preliminary study. While nuts are calorie dense, researchers sought to analyze whether they affected long-term weight change in the research, which will be presented November 10, 2018, at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2018 in Chicago.

“For someone interested in weight management or weight loss, quite often the tendency is to shy away from calorie-dense foods,” says the study's first author, Xiaoran Liu, PhD, a research associate in the nutrition department of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.
