As rates of overweight and obesity continue to rise throughout the developed world, a new study published in the European Journal of Nutrition has found that a handful of almonds may be one of the more effective snacks for making a dent in weight loss.

Researchers from the University of South Australia observed a group of 25-65-year-old adults with a BMI of 27.5 to 35 and found that almonds improved feelings of satisfaction and fullness and lowered their energy intake.
