Good news! Scientists at California University made a survey and found out that pistachio, which has high nutritional values, helps losing weight.

In the survey conducted,  52 overweight people who were on diet were given pistachios with 240 calories and another group of people were given savory biscuits with 220 calories between meals. After 12 weeks, at the end of the survey, it was found that the group who ate pistachios reached the target weight in that time. Also, triglyceride level  of the same group is lower.

You won’t feel guilty any more when snacking on pistachio, but you should know your limit! If you prefer buying them in shells, you will eat less. You know it requires some effort when compared to eating shelled ones.

Her love of cooking started as a little child by messing her mom's dishes up! Despite all her mom's effort to teach her how to cook, she was happy as an 'assistant'. What made her want to jump to an upper level was her dad's compliments for the first dish she made herself. Finally, her husband, who claims that ancient humans were stronger than we are today as their main food source was meat, helped her love cooking meat dishes and improving vegetable dishes to make them more edible for him!
