I am always amazed at the health benefits of nut consumption in moderation. I wrote about the benefits of peanut butter in “Peanut Butter: Can I eat it and lose weight?” and nuts in general in “Weight Loss Tips: Go Nuts.” I literally could go nuts writing about the health benefits of nuts because the benefits seem endless. Regardless, I am going to write about one more, and that is walnuts and weight loss.
Walnuts are readily available year-round in just about every grocery store on the planet. They are a delicious source of protein and healthy fats. Walnuts are well documented to be high in antioxidants and helpful in lowering your “bad” cholesterol. The key is walnuts are high in monounsaturated fats which are the “good fats” found in foods like almonds, avocados, peanuts, and olive oil.
Gaining weight is complicated, but it is not less complicated than losing it. Weight gain is a consequence of total energy intake. It is an imbalance between what we eat and burn during our lives. If we burn more, we lose weight, and if we burn too little, we gain weight. It is simple in concept yet complex in reality. At the population level, consuming foods, such as nuts, would appear to be inversely associated with increasing weight because they are very dense in calories. The reasons for the difference are unclear, but they could be examined in the context of dietary advice for weight loss.
