Background: Increased consumption of nuts has been advocated because of their health
benefits, but the role of nuts in the treatment of obesity is unclear given their high energy
density. Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of a hypocaloric, almond-
enriched diet (AED) compared with a hypocaloric nut-free diet (NFD) on body weight and
cardiovascular disease risk factors in the context of an 18-mo behavioral weight-
management program. Design: Overweight and obese individuals [n= 123; age= 46.8 y, BMI�…
