Nuts and yogurt can help you lose weight

The desire to achieve and maintain a slender figure is huge in every person, so scientists are trying everyday to get to the facts that will help us to achieve it.

Recent research, in which participated 120,000 people of which 80% were women, found out that certain foods help the process of reducing weight.

Researchers found out that consuming yogurt and nuts helps us to lose weight in a long-term plan and more than the consumption of fruits and vegetables, probably because they make us to feel full for a longer time. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt and cereals, fall into the category of ‘good food’.
