Go Nuts!

The best diet foods are not always the ones low in calories. Nuts are a fatty food that can keep you slim because they keep you full-and the protein they contain revs up metabolism. People who ate nuts daily lost 39 percent more weight than those who didn’t even though their calorie intake was the same. Make nuts part of a meal to get the benefits without going overboard.
