An August 2022 study by the University of South Australia said,
“Rates of overweight and obesity are a major public health concern and modulating appetite through better hormonal response may be key to promoting weight management,”
“Our research examined the hormones that regulate appetite, and how nuts – specifically almonds - might contribute to appetite control.”
“We found that people who ate almonds experienced changes in their appetite-regulating hormones, and that these may have contributed to reduced food intake (by 300kJ).”
“Almonds are high in protein, fibre, and unsaturated fatty acids, which may contribute to their satiating properties and help explain why fewer kilojoules were consumed.”
“Even small, positive lifestyle changes can have an impact over a longer period. When we’re making small, sustainable changes, we’re more likely to be improving our overall health in the long run,”
“Almonds are a fantastic healthy snack to incorporate into the daily diet. We are now excited to look at how almonds might affect appetite during a weight loss diet and how they might assist with weight management in the long term.”
