    I respect Dr. Berg. I was a glutton & overweight with a 39" waist. After watching Dr. Berg, I am doing 20/4 IF for the last 12 months. I take 2 meals in my 4 hour feeding window. My diet is nuts, wholegrains, fruits, veggies & yogurt. Lost 14 kg & shrunk to 33" waistline in 12 months. Am happy , full of energy. All my stress is gone, I AM LIVING MY BEST LIFE. FOOD WAS MY CURSE, FOOD WAS IMPRISONING ME. I AM NOW FULLY LIBERATED, I AM NO MORE A SLAVE.

    I noticed most of the comments are from people that can't stop once they start. One trick I've learned that works really well for me, ( on nuts, not candy) as soon as I get a bag of nuts of any kind I put them in snack bags so when I want some I grab a bag and go to another room.

      You just have to get in enough Omega3 to counter the additional Omega 6 from the Pistachios, then you can eat as much as your Carbs allow you to

    Glory to the Creator for having created pistachios! This video is quite delightful to me for pistachios are quite delightful to me.
    Thanks for the elaboration on the nutritional content of pistachios, Dr. Berg. I had heard before that it has the lowest oxalates of all the nuts & much less than my other favorite, namely cashews, although I've laid off cashews now (unless I've soaked the cashews in water for a few days & then roasted them a bit in the oven) since hearing cashews are nearly as high in oxalates as almonds are. But to hear of all the other nutritional content was grand. 👍

    Dr Berg thanks for all these videos; I have the following nuts/seeds and want to know how much of each should we take per day? I have: Sunflower seeds - Pine Nuts - Chai seeds - Hulled Sesame seeds - Brazil nuts - Pistachio kernels. Is it a good idea to take a little of each and have with breakfast? Or is a different part of the day better? Can I take all of them together? I know taking ONE brazil nut every other day is recommended and eat after soaking and drying for 8 hours to release phytic acid; I cut each one in three to help release the acid faster. Is this a good thing to do? In short how much or how little should I take for each of nut/seed in each day? Thanks.

    Here's what is says online:
    Pistachios are not just the most melatonin-rich nut, they are simply off-the-charts as the most melatonin-rich food ever recorded. To get a physiological dose of melatonin, all you have to eat is two. ... So, taking a whole handful of pistachio nuts is like taking one of those high-dose melatonin supplements.

      @DEVARMONT7 peer reviewed climate change is proof that peer review doesn't always mean it's the truth. Almost anybody in a science field can be bought off. Why would anyone falsify information on melatonin levels in pistachios? Do you think it would increase sales? Even if they don't have the highest melatonin content, people will buy them because they are so tasty.

      That was because some time ago pistachios were imported. During that process the shells would get roughed up and bruised. To cover that up and not make them seem as low quality, they would dye them red. As of lately, the us has been producing their own pistachios, hence the absence of dyes.

    Things that were omitted but to be aware of:
    Quantity:
    About a handful (1.5 ounces) is a good amount to shoot for each day. If you’re concerned about limiting your pistachio intake as the buttery flavor can be addicting, go for the kind that have shells on them instead of the pre-shelled ones. Since pistachios contain fructans, eating too many of them can cause bloating, nausea, or abdominal pain. So it’s always a good idea NOT to overdo it.

      Pistachios have 15 grams of carbs per 100 grams of nuts. Cashews have 22 grams of carbs per 100 grams of nuts. I would consider neither to be "low carb". As all poisons though, everything depends on the dosage. There is nothing wrong with eating a mere handful as long as you are tracking your daily carbs. But who can eat just a handful?

I’m just curious the level of anti nutrients in them which would affect the percentage of those alleged nutrients that are actually bioavailable to humans. Like anything else it’s really the nutrients we are actually able to absorb and assimilate that actually matters in the end
