Started eating Almonds again, suddenly losing weight rapidly

[Nemesis48]

So - I had a bag of almonds at one point, and eat them for fiber, good stuff. Ran out, and didn't buy a new supply until two weeks ago.

My experience with eating almonds (in place of other vegetables) has been rapid weight loss. I am not complaining, as I am trying to lose weight, but I am a bit confused. They are higher in calorie count than a vegetable equivalent - and I usually eat between 24-48 almonds.

That being said, I do know that they take longer to digest, and so additional work must be done by the digestive system. Still, I don't think that accounts for an extra .5 - 1 lb lost a day.

I thought initially it was just a coincidence, so I used science and stopped eating almonds for a few days, my weight loss decreased although was still present, or I plateaued. Started eating almonds again, and bam, losing weight quicker.

Any thoughts?

My thoughts are that this is a terrible excuse for an experiment. And that your 'use of science' is wretched. You have not isolated any variables. Nor have you done it over an appropriate time line.

You are reading tea leaves.

This makes my brain hurt in so many ways. But congrats on the weight loss, if it was fat loss and not strength loss.

I am going to give you something to read. Just keep reading it over and over again until the absurdity of it slaps you in the face. It should not take long.
