Almonds: my weekend weapon


Happy Saturday!
If your willpower is wonky on the weekends, try my simple eat clean weekend tip: stash an Altoids tin full of almonds in your purse. The protein, fiber, and healthy fats content in a one ounce serving (about 23 almonds) will help ward off the urge to overeat those tempting weekend treats. (I’m looking at you macaroons!)
BONUS HEALTH BENEFIT: Research from the American Heart Association suggest that eating this amount of almonds every day for 30 days may help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) by about 4%.
