Nuts are one of the best snacks for people trying to lose weight and to keep the blood sugar levels under check. Nuts are loaded with heart healthy fats and rich in several nutrients, including vitamin E, magnesium, fiber and protein. Many clinical studies proved that adding nuts to a person's diet did not increase his weight to the extent expected. The clinical trials concluded that nuts might suppress the appetite so that people eat less food later in the day, or that people offset the calories from nuts through increasing energy expenditure. So give a break to the zero calorie sweeteners that you are consuming with your snacks and add a serving of nuts or nutrition bars loaded with nuts to your diet.
