6 Best Nuts to Eat for Weight Loss

By Jamie Leach

Walnuts

Walnuts are particularly high in omega-3 fatty acids and are associated with lower LDL-cholesterol levels when eaten regularly.

Peanuts

While technically a legume, peanuts are often grouped with nuts due to their nutritional profile. 

Almonds

Almonds are also a great source of monounsaturated fats and magnesium.

Pistachios

They're lower in calories than other nuts, making them a wise weight-loss choice.

Cashews

Cashews are an excellent source of magnesium, with 20 percent of your daily value found in just one ounce.

That's because hazelnuts reduce harmful oxidative stress and inflammation while supporting weight loss.
