17. Nuts
Nuts are a superfood that should be a part of any healthy diet. They are rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, including some that can promote weight loss and burning of belly fat.
Studies have shown that frequent consumption of nuts is linked with a lower body weight. In a particular study, one group of overweight or obese participants consumed a low-calorie diet supplemented with almonds. Another group were given the same low-calorie diet but without the nuts. After 24 weeks, the group who had almonds were found to have a significantly greater reduction in weight, BMI, waist circumference, and fat mass.
Other studies suggest that consuming nuts may help increase the amount of calories your burn while you are at rest. However, results have not been conclusive and more studies are needed to prove this theory.
Nuts can help lower your appetite and make you feel fuller for a longer time. Enjoy a handful for a quick and easy snack that will see you through until your next meal.
