I've never liked them before, but after the first couple handfuls, I found out they make an excellent snack. Ever since then, I've been eating probably 50 or so almonds a day. I'll even eat a number of them as a right-before-bedtime snack. Wanna know the crazy thing? I normally come out of finals week depressed and with back pain. While I've still got the back pain, I actually feel better than when I went into this week! I know they're great for lowering LDL, but apparently almonds also make you feel really good. If you've got $5, I highly recommend you go buy some. Post Reply

Tulip89 View Profile History	Diet Posted : 7 May, 2011 09:37 AM Well, I've done a little digging, and aside from the fact that almonds lower your LDL, there seems to be evidence that all those almonds stimulate higher levels of testosterone production in your body, which is going to make any man feel more awesome!
