tell me about peanut butter



Recommended Posts

I always have room for calories and one spoonful is just enough to curb my sweet tooth and I get the Protein boost I need also.

I prefer almond butter over Peanut Butter because it is a healthier nut. I usually only eat almond butter as a snack with crackers, on fruit, or in my Protein shakes. 1-2 spoon fulls are more than enough for daily intake.

Almond butter is way more expensive, but investing in our health is important. I purchase my almond butter from the organic store for about $8.99. It lasts forever!

Here are some fun facts. Which ever you decide, make sure it is all natural unsalted.

You could invest in a food processor, if you don't already have one, and make your own "nut" butters. I make all of mine, including hummus from scratch, this way I know exactly what I am putting into my body. If you are craving something sweet try adding a little bit of agave Syrup to natural PB.

      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.
