NUTS & WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

The protein and fibre in nuts help to satisfy hunger and reduce apetite.
When mixed with foods rich in carbohydrate, nuts can slow the digestion of the meal resulting in a slower rise in blood glucose.
Nuts are rich in healthy fats (monounsaturated and polyunstaurated fats) which improves insulin sensitivity.
Nuts are nutrient dense with a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants - vitamin E, folate, manganese, protein, and niacin, to name a few.

TIP - replace a sweet snack with a handful of plain nuts and maybe some dried fruit.  Keep it in a container at your desk and munch on it when you are feeling hungry.
