Metabolic Effects of Almond in the Longer-term Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obesity

In brief

Identifying snacks that do not contribute to positive energy balance is crucial in weight management. The satiating effects of almonds, coupled with their convenience and palatability make them a promising weight management aid. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of almond consumption with meals versus snacks on outcomes such as appetite, energy intake, body weight, as well as blood glucose, insulin and lipid responses.
