Nuts might have a high fat content, but munching on them does not promote weight gain, according to an article in the Journal of Nutrition. Eating a handful of chestnuts, almonds or peanuts has high satiating effect, helping to curb your appetite and prevent accumulation of extra pounds. Also, some of the fat content in nuts are flushed from the body before it settles around the midriff. Unsalted, raw or dry
roasted unsalted varieties are the healthiest.
