Think losing weight means boring snacks? Think again! Nuts can speed metabolism and make dieting delicious and satisfying.
Labels can be misleading. Almonds absorb fewer calories than shown, thanks to tough cell walls. You eat less, absorb less—smart snacking!
Chestnuts top the list with just 63 calories per ounce. Roast them for a soft, starchy treat that’s low calorie and great for weight loss.
Love volume? Pistachios offer nearly 49 nuts per serving. Shelling slows you down, helping you feel fuller and eat less overall.
Cashews have less fat than almonds or walnuts and taste delicious. Measure carefully to avoid overeating this creamy delight.
Almonds pack fiber and protein, perfect for fighting belly fat. A handful daily keeps hunger in check and supports metabolism.
Peanuts aren’t nuts—they’re legumes! But they’re protein powerhouses. Choose dry-roasted in shell to avoid added oils and enjoy healthy benefits.
Walnuts have omega-3s that activate brain areas controlling cravings. Despite higher calories, they’re great for beating sugar binges.

Skip nuts roasted in vegetable oils to avoid added inflammatory fats. Opt for raw or dry roasted for a healthy, guilt-free snack.
