I found this website because I was concerned about my love for nuts and especially the almonds. I eat more than my fair share. But, they make my stomach feel good and keep my hunger down. I am pre-diabetic and found when my hunger is out of control after eating high glycemic fruits or other sugars ALMONDS gets it back in control.

I am wondering though about the fat content and weight control. Any hidden gems of knowledge regarding the high fat content and weight.

I am glad I found this lovely site.

I don’t have any solid proof or source to cite, but my guess is that because they are high in fat, they make you fuller, so you eat less otherwise…thus helping you lose/maintain weight. Best of luck finding a more solid answer, though

I had no idea the almonds were, at one time, green and fuzzy. Thanks!

I do love almonds! I love just eating them raw and unsalted – I don’t think I have ever had a fresh almond before though! WOW! Lucky you! Have you ever had a smoked almond? Those are pretty good too!

I hadn’t even heard of them until a couple comments ago…sound lovely though
