- “Another new study in the journal Obesity finds that people who eat nuts just twice a week are about 30 percent less likely to gain weight than people who rarely eat nuts. Similar research from the City of Home National Medical Center in Duarte, California, determined that study participants who ate a few ounces of almonds every day lost 6½ inches from their waists in 24 weeks, 50 percent more than dieters who ate the same number of calories without the fiber-rich nuts.” The New Abs Diet: The 6-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life(The Abs Diet) (David Zinczenko and Ted Spiker).

- “When researchers at Loma Linda University tracked the eating habits of 34,000 Seventh-Day Adventists—a population famous for its longevity—they discovered that those who ate nuts (an Abs Diet Powerfood!) 5 days a week tended to outlive those who didn’t eat nuts by 3 years. Scientists believe the monounsaturated fats and fiber in the nuts provide a longevity benefit and help keep weight in check.” The New Abs Diet: The 6-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life (The Abs Diet) (David Zinczenko and Ted Spiker).
