Which nuts are slimming?
Brazil nuts
Exotic and enjoyable, they are the richest source of selenium, ingredients that not only play a key role in metabolism, immunity and reproductive health, but also help the body absorb vitamin E, which can help prevent eye cataract.
They are also full of nutrients that promote overall health, such as copper, zinc and potassium.
Walnuts
At about 13 grams per serving, walnuts are one of the best dietary choices for weight loss.
About 30 grams of walnuts (about a quarter cup, or 14 halves of walnuts) provide 18 grams of good fats, 4 grams of protein, 2 grams of fiber, almost 50% of the daily goal for manganese and smaller amounts of magnesium, iron, calcium, and vitamins Β.
Almonds
Almonds, rich in the amino acid L-arginine, can actually help you burn more fat and carbohydrates during your workout, according to a study published in The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
A study published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that participants who included almonds in their diet lost more weight than those who ate complex carbohydrates.
In the same study, it was observed that participants who ate almonds daily as a snack, did not gain weight, despite the fact that they consumed extra calories. The researchers concluded that they did not gain weight because they felt full and did not eat anything else between their meals.
