Experimental evidence: losing 10 jin (Chinese weight unit) in half a year by eating peanuts every day. American researchers once organized 101 middle-aged and elderly men and women with obesity, divided into two groups, one group was designated to eat low-fat diet (mainly lean meat and vegetables), the other group ate nut-based diet (mainly peanut oil, peanut butter, mixed nuts, and vegetables). After half a year, both groups lost an average of 11 pounds, but after one year, the first group's weight rebounded, while the group that ate peanuts did not gain weight. This discovery challenges common knowledge. People have always believed that eating high-fat foods like peanuts and peanut butter can easily lead to obesity. However, research has found that regularly eating peanuts and peanut butter not only does not cause obesity, but also reduces the incidence of heart disease. Experts point out that eating peanuts and peanut butter can easily give a feeling of fullness, controlling appetite, and is very suitable for lazy people to use when slimming down. The study found that indulging in peanut butter can fill you up without easily causing weight gain. Many people may feel surprised because peanut butter is a high-calorie food. Two spoons of peanut butter contain 16 grams of fat and 200 calories, but many people also ignore the fact that peanut butter can easily make you feel full. In addition, high-quality peanuts, peanut oil, and other peanut products contain a nutrient called folic acid. It contains a large amount of monounsaturated fatty acids, which can increase heat dissipation, burn harmful cholesterol, and lower high blood lipids. Besides folic acid, peanuts also contain various beneficial fibers that have the function of clearing intestinal waste and will not lead to obesity. iddy0002
