Banish Belly Fat with Almonds

cathynicolette

In a recent poll, 65% of people surveyed believe that 75% of statistics are false or misleading. 4 out of 5 doctors agree.

68% of all statistics are made up on the fly.

Triggers 50 percent MORE fat loss around your middle. Helps block diabetes, too!

GO NUTS! and lose 62 percent more weight and 50 percent more inches off your waistline!

A test group that ate a few almonds each day experienced accelerated weight loss. They lost 62 percent more weight than another group that consumed the same number of calories.

They also lost 50 percent more off their waistlines and 56 percent more of their fat mass.

Research Almonds

I'm eating a few everyday....

Where's the peer review study? I like almonds a lot and just want to see the study on it. Not a blog or article, but a peer reviewed clinical study. Thanks.

I'm quite certain there is a degree of confounding factor in play here. Almonds or other nuts tend to be comsumed by health/weight conscience individuals. Also, nuts aren't cheap, so they are more likely consumed by individual of a higher socioeconomic status. Both groups tend to have lower rates of obesity and thus smaller bellies.

Love this post. Cause or effect. Similar to your post there have been several studies that indicate that brushing your teeth twice a day reduces your chances of getting cancer, but people who brush twice a day are also more likely to eat well and exercise. Similar issues are found in "some" (not all) studies that claim drinking small quantities of red wine improves health, in some of these studies the participants were not completely randomised: Red wine drinkers are a small subset of the population in general and European ( especially the French) are quite different to US red wine drinkers.

This post wins the thread.

If the solution to obesity could be something as simple as a daily dose of almonds, in the UK at least, they would be given away for free. The UK national health bill is massive and obesity accounts for a fair chunk of that cost. The financial hit of giving away free nuts would quite simply pay back in healthcare costs 10 times over.

So, if we have peer reviewed scientific data, published in a reputable publication lets take a look. We could save millions of lives and improve the quality of countless more.

Studies show that 62% of what is posted on the web is correct 79% of the time. The same studies agreed that they had a margin of error of +/-50%.

But I like almonds - occasionally.

CallMeCupcakeDammit

I eat 12 almonds every day during the week, because I keep my stash at work. I read that it only takes 6 almonds to get the benefits, but I couldn't tell you where I read that. Don't think it was on the internet, so maybe it's true! Couldn't say that's affected my weight loss, but I love 'em anyway.

I agree 83% fully!

I eat raw almonds unsalted everyday at work as a snack. When I am feeling hungry it settles my hunger pangs. I have been "off track" lately but stilled seemed to have a 2.5 weight loss this week. couldn't figure out how I could have lost. Maybe it's the Almonds!:happy:
