Not Hungry Again?

Nuts can help reduce your appetite and increase feelings of fullness.  Adding nuts to your diet has been linked to reduced hunger and feeling full for longer. For example, snacking on almonds has been shown to reduce hunger and cravings (1).

It’s thought that their appetite-suppressing effects are likely due to the increased production of the hormones peptide and/or cholecystokinin, both of which help regulate appetite.  The theory is that the high protein and high unsaturated fat content may be responsible for this effect (2).

Studies suggest that 54–104% of the extra calories that come from adding nuts to the diet are cancelled out by a natural reduction in the intake of other foods (3).

In other words, eating nuts as a snack increases feelings of fullness, which results in eating less of other foods.
