One study has shown that snacking on almonds helped participants lose twice as much fat as those who snacked on complex carbs.

This group also had a greater decrease in waist size.  This was part of a low carb diet program.  Almonds are a healthy snack that is easy to take with you.

I buy them in a bag and break them out when I need to.  Its not always easy to carry certain foods with you when trying to lose weight, but almonds, walnuts, and pistachios are good choices.

I got this info from nutritionist Mike Roussell, the co-creator of the Warp Speed Fat Loss Program that I am on.  These nuts have some fiber, which can help fill you up, but also are healthy fats.

While I love pistachios, cracking the shells open can be a bit of a hassle, which is one of the reasons  Roussell says they can help with weight loss, it slows you down and apparently you can eat more of them, without worrying about your waistline.

For convenience and no mess, almonds work well for me, but I am going to try walnuts to mix things up a bit and give my taste buds some variety.  There is a little protein in these along with the good fats.

The fiber can help you feel full, also.  Either of these can be eaten with an apple and it won’t affect your blood sugar too much.  Feeling full can help you avoid eating too much, or so they say.

In any case, I’ll be eating plenty of almonds and walnuts as I am on a lower carb diet, as part of this fat loss program.  As always, if you have been too sedentary,

Get moving!
