Almonds

Almonds are high in protein, so they are a great way to boost your satiety. Almonds are also abundant in magnesium and vitamin E, which can help with weight loss and overall wellness. You will receive 19 percent of your daily magnesium and 45 percent of your daily vitamin E from one ounce of almonds. While vitamin E is important for antioxidant protection in your cells, magnesium can help you lose weight by promoting sleep and enhancing your body's insulin response.

Sleep is essential for weight loss because insulin and glucose imbalances might lead to fat storage rather than fat burning. Furthermore, research reveals that substituting almonds for complex carbohydrates in your diet will help you lose up to 62 percent more weight.

In one ounce of almonds (around 23 nuts), you will get:
