6. Easier Weight Loss
Though almonds contain a lot of fat and calories, they can actually help you shed pounds. Studies show that eating almonds can contribute to a feeling of satiety between meals, which makes it easier to resist unhealthy food cravings. People who eat almonds daily tend to consume fewer carbohydrates over the course of each day.
Participants in a study of almonds and diet reduced their weight and body mass index (BMI) by an average of 18%, compared to only 11% in the group that dieted without almonds. Waist circumference also decreased by 14% in the almond group, but only 9% in the non-almond dieters.
