Are pistachios good for weight loss?

I'm trying to lose some weight and incorporating more nuts into my diet as healthy snacks. I particularly enjoy pistachios. Are pistachios considered good for weight loss, or should I be mindful of the calorie count?

Please be careful because nuts are very high in calories. I ate too many thinking they were diet-friendly and my cholesterol shot up. Consult a professional nutritionist first.

I read so many conflicting articles about nuts and weight gain, it made me so anxious. But eating just 10 raw pistas in the afternoon really does help curb hunger without issues.

Look, they are good only if you eat 10-15 pieces, not the whole packet while watching TV. If you don't control the portion, you will gain weight instead of losing it.

They are excellent for fat loss because of the fiber-to-calorie ratio. Just buy them in-shell so the physical act of shelling them keeps your portion size under control.

I've tried every diet under the sun. Replacing my afternoon teatime biscuits with a small handful of unsalted pistachios was one of the few practical habits that actually worked.
