Nuts are loaded with fats, but mostly the good ones. As you might already know, not all fats are bad. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are found in nuts and they promote the overall health of your body. Some nuts, however, contain saturated fats that raise the cholesterol levels in your body. Studies show that including nuts in a weight loss diet makes it more efficient and it also improves the quality of the diet since they are loaded with many other nutrients apart from the healthy fats.
In one study, participants who included almonds in their diet had reduced body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and fat mass at the end of a 24-week period.
Nuts such as peanuts, chestnuts, and almonds are known to have high satiety properties hence suppressing one’s hunger.

In a study where carbohydrates in a meal were replaced by half an avocado or a whole one, it was found that it helped increase satiety. People who added avocado to their meals reported feeling more full hence helping in hunger suppression.
Another study also found that the risk of becoming overweight or obese was lower among avocado consumers as compared to those who did not eat avocado.
