Researchers at Loma Linda University conducted nut feeding trials in which free living individuals substituted nuts for 20% of their total calories. The lead researcher, Joan Sabaté MD, PH.D., found that, despite the fact that nuts contain fat and are energy-dense foods, they did not cause an increase in body weight.

These results for pistachios are consistent with studies of other nuts and body weight. So pistachios are not only delicious, they’re also a great alternative to other less healthy snacks and can help you maintain a healthy weight.

Fully Satisfying

Pistachios offer up protein, healthy fat, and dietary fiber, which can increase your feeling of fullness and the length of time it takes to get hungry again. When you’re feeling full, you tend to eat less throughout the day.

Fiber-tastic!

Most of us don’t realize how important fiber is to our diets. Fiber has been shown to help with weight management. Fortunately, pistachios are amongst the highest fiber nuts, providing 12% of your daily requirement per serving and giving you a delicious snack alternative and easy way to help you manage your weight.
