Ever wonder what to eat if you get hungry between meals? The reviewed research investigated the response to almonds not only as a snack, but also when eaten with a meal (Tan SY, Mattes RD, 2013).
The
study went on for 4 weeks. The participants with an increased risk for
type 2 diabetes either had 43 grams of almonds with breakfast or
lunch, or they had it as a morning snack or afternoon snack.
The
effects were most noticeable in the snack groups. It was found that
the almonds lowered the blood glucose after eating and when consumed as
snacks they also reduced hunger and the desire to eat. Without being
told to reduce the calorie intake, the daily energy intake was reduced,
and the almonds did not increase the risk for weight gain when
compared with the control group.
Research
comparing different types of snacks with the same calorie content has
also provided surprising, and very useful information when it comes to
keeping your weight down. You can read about these and other
interesting facts in "The Special Effects Diet program" which can be
