Contemporary research convincingly shows that nuts support a healthy body weight.

They do not cause weight gain in the short-term and likely support improved weight maintenance in the long term.

Despite this, only 2% of Australians meet the target of a handful of nuts a day, with energy density and weight concerns being the major barriers.

So, it is time to rethink nut calories, energy balance and weight?

Our four NEW nuts and weight infographics cover:

  • Findings from the largest-ever scientific review on nuts and weight
  • How nuts are metabolised differently to other foods, thanks to their unique nut matrix
  • The mechanisms behind why nuts help protect against weight gain
  • The metabolic advantage of nuts, and how this impacts energy balance.

We’d love you to download and share these nuts and weight infographics. Please credit all with ‘Image courtesy of Nuts for Life’.
