I LOVE PEANUTBUTTER - WHAT IS YOUR WEAKNESS?



Recommended Posts

I have been at goal for a few months so I experiment with new foods. Well i'm addicted to crunchy peanutbutter. I have at least two tablespoons a day and usually with a apple. I count it with my calories and I stay within my limit but I can't stop eating it whether it be for Breakfast, or lunch or snack. It's a good fat and source of Protein, high in calories but it feels like a treat for me esp if I throw a tablespoon of ff cool whip on it.

Just letting you know there is a Peanut Butter powder PB2 that some health stores carry-none around me so I order online. You mix it with Water, sugar free jelly if you want and can use it in a stir fry...yum. It doesn't have many calories and fat so you might want to look into it. It taste pretty good to me

Have you tried Gala apples? They're not always easy to find but oh my gosh they are SO good with Peanut Butter on them!

I actually love Peanut Butter, too. Too much. I had to stop snacking on it because I was eating way too much. I think it's a "trigger" food for me.

I love Peanut Butter too. I use creamy on my fugi apples but have PB2 and put it in yogurt and in my Protein Drinks also sprinkle it on 1/2 sliced bannan. a real treat.

If you make it fit into your daily calories, I honestly don't see a problem. You obviously are able to control yourself.

I, on the other hand, realized I was "oh just one more spoonful" until I was over my daily calories. Repeatedly. It is just too dangerous of a snack for me because I apparently lack the self control to stop at just a spoonful.

I love sweets! They are my weakness! Peanut Butter, I like, but it's not my fave. I use it sometimes, in a Protein Shake, but more often, I use the PB2 powder since it's less calories to use up. There is also a chocolate PB2 powder also. I am not much of a fan of it, by itself (after mixing it with water), but if definitely gives you that peanut butter fix when mixed it anything, like shakes, ice cream, cool whip, etc.....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
