Dear pistachios...
 

I love you. Does anyone else? They fill me up soooo well. A whole personal pack is only about 130 cal. :D

They are delicious...But one of my trigger foods. I can eat 1/2 a regular bag of unshelled one's without even thinking about it..Maybe I need to buy those personal packs xD

I cannot have pistachios in my apartment! You would think buying the ones with the shells would slow me down eating them but it doesn't. I best to just avoid them at all cost. I do obviously love them though :T

I love them too. I can only buy the personal packs because I have no self control with the larger bags.

I love them but I'm thinking of putting them on my trigger list. I haven't decided yet.

yeah, they're a major trigger food for me too!

I've never ever had them. They sound good though!

Omg, they are so delicious, but like someone else said, a trigger food. I could eat a 300 gram bag in one sitting. Best to steer clear of them altogether, I think...

Cannot have! Cashews, pistachios, peanuts, peanut butter all equal major calories because I don't stop until there's nothing left. :o

I have such an issue with PB that I posted by biggest lost so far, 2.8 lbs, by removing peanut butter from my diet while I get a handle on it.

You should try PB2, which is a powdered peanut butter with 80% less calories and fat! It actually tastes good and you can even bake with it. I found it online - not cheap but worth it to me!

That would be fine for me probably. The issue is my family loves regular peanut butter and my son probably needs the calories. I've just had to make a conscious effort not to even START licking the spoon after I make his sandwich for lunch or have DH make it. I'm afraid even PB2 would start me down a munching path I couldn't recover from! :lol:

I am a PB2 addict! The thing that helps me control the consumption (because I could probably eat the whole container) is that I always cut up 2 stalks of celery into lots of sticks and then use those to slow me down and it ends up filling me up a lot. I use about 5 tablespoons of PB2Chocolate and the celery and this makes for a very satisfying and decadent snack. I honestly think I prefer it to regular peanut butter but I could be saying that because I haven't had regular in a long time. ;)

Pistachios...I love them but have to be super careful. Cashews are a huge trigger food for me and I can't be trusted to be alone with them. ;)

oh my god I love pistachios! I haven't had them in forever.

I love me some peanuts though. I started eating a handful every day and I just love it. I bought a big thing of peanuts since they were on sale and now I keep them at work in case I don't pack enough snacks :)

where do you get the personal packs? i've never seen pistachio's come in individual servings before.

Wonderful makes them in 1.5oz packs and you can buy them from amazon.com.
