Abstract in brief

  • This study compared the effects of an almond-enriched diet (AED) with a carbohydrate-rich snack diet (nut-free control diet, NFD) on weight and cardiometabolic health over 9 months.
  • Participants aged 25-65 with a BMI between 27.5-34.9 lost similar amounts of weight during the first 3 months, with both diets resulting in significant health improvements, such as lower blood pressure and better cholesterol levels.
  • The AED produced greater positive changes in specific lipoprotein particles compared to the NFD, suggesting potential benefits for heart health, while both diets support effective weight management.

ดังนั้นที่บอกว่าการทานคาร์โบไฮเดรต จะทำให้ลดน้ำหนัก ลดไขมันไม่ได้นี่ไม่เป็นความจริงนะครับ ถึงจะทานก็ลดได้ มันอยู่ที่ว่าเราทานพลังงานอาหารภาพรวมเป็นยังไง เมื่อเทียบกับกิจกรรมที่ทำแต่ละวันแล้ว มันเป็นลบหรือเป็นบวก https://t.co/e13uwc4sgd
