This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of mixed nuts on energy metabolism in women with overweight/obesity. The acute consumption of mixed nuts significantly increased postprandial fat oxidation (piAUC: 47.53 ± 5.78 mg/min vs. 27.93 ± 6.98 mg/min; p = 0.048). However, chronic intake alongside an energy-restricted diet did not significantly alter energy metabolism markers after 8 weeks.

Key findings

  • Acute mixed nuts consumption increased postprandial fat oxidation compared to control.
  • Fat oxidation was 47.53 ± 5.78 mg/min in the mixed nuts group versus 27.93 ± 6.98 mg/min in the control group.
  • Chronic intake of mixed nuts did not significantly change fasting fat oxidation after 8 weeks.

Why it matters

Understanding the impact of dietary components like mixed nuts on energy metabolism can inform dietary recommendations for women at cardiometabolic risk, particularly in managing weight and metabolic health.
