Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that nuts do not contribute to weight gain.
The review of quality research on links between nuts, fat consumption and body weight was recently published in the journal Obesity Reviews and is among the most comprehensive to date.
It provides further evidence that long-standing concerns about nuts and weight gain—often found in popular media and clinical nutrition guidelines—are unwarranted, the researchers say.
"Overall, we found there is no association between nuts and weight gain, and in fact some analyses showed higher nut intake associated with reductions in body weight and waist circumference," said lead author Stephanie Nishi, who was a doctoral student in nutritional sciences in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the time of the study.
"This study really hits home the idea that nuts can be a good option for people with diabetes or cardiovascular risk, but also for all individuals broadly as part of a healthy eating plan, without caveats."
The researchers pooled the results of 121 clinical trials and prospective studies, with over half a million participants in total. They then used a widely accepted system called GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) to gage the quality of the studies.
"We found the certainty of evidence was high for trials and moderate for observational studies," said John Sievenpiper, principal investigator on the study and an associate professor of nutritional sciences and medicine at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine.
"That's a good indication of no harm from nuts relative to weight gain—no more than any other foods—and there may indeed be a benefit of weight loss in addition to the other widely acknowledged health benefits of nuts."

For lower carb people, you are already likely eating more almonds, due to its use as a substitute for wheat.
Not even if you have a set of brass ones???
Mast is one of the best sources of protein and fats.
What if they’re really swollen because of the clot shot?
I dunno- a lot of the nutcases in congress are severely overweight
I go through pecans like crazy in low carb. 1 gram net carbs per ounce. Walnuts are similar
Eat all the peanut butter you want. :D
So I can eat 2000 calories worth of nuts and it’s like I ate nothing? I am SO destroying me some pecans!
It is not what you eat, it is HOW MUCH YOU EAT.
But heavy proportions of carbs does higher ups and downs in blood sugar, making you hungry sooner.
If you want to lose weight, eat more bacon and lard and less white bread, potatoes and rice.
Yee Haw, Macadamias here I come.
Fat does not make you fat.
It takes almost as much energy to catabolize fat as you get out of it.
Sugars, on the other hand, yield multiple times more energy than it takes to catabolize them.
Low-fat diets are a dangerous superstition because fats are the building blocks of hormones and can lead to serious hormone deficiencies, especially in the young.
I had not heard of that term, but now I know.
WHAT IS MAST?

Thank you!
Not unless you get that covid shot.
Maybe not, but I’ve seen a lot of overweight nuts walking around.
I don’t think peanuts are included in the nut category.
I buy pecan ice cream...and add a handful of pecans...and if you buy waffle cones...you can wind up real happy.
Cool. I’ll have the chocolate covered peanut M&Ms.
Some nuts are 50% or more fat.
