Dear God, Plz hlp my Reeces addiction



Recommended Posts

I too love them Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Fortunately I became allergic to Peanuts and can't have them anymore. I don't know how you suddenly develope an allergy to Peanuts, but I realized it when I was on the South Beach Diet eating a lot of Peanut Butter. I started wheezeing like a big dog. Allergist told me to stay way clear of all nuts from now on. I don't want to die, so I don't eat them.

i have a reciepe that I use to help with certain cravings and this one may help you. Take 1 tbsp of Peanut Butter and 1 sugar-free/fat-free fudgsicle. Place peanut butter in a bowl insert the frozen fudgsicle. Place in microwave for 15-30secs. Just enough to barely melt the fudgsicle. Then mix the pb and melted fudgsicle together. Serve with cool whip. - good news gives you 4-6 grams of Protein and keeps the calories down.

Hope it helps.

grocery shopping online?? I bet you drive one of those HOVERCrafts to work too?? I thought Mrs. Jetson was the only one who could GROCERY shop online!! How does this work? Do they deliver, or do they gather, and you pick up? Is there a service charge? OH MY, the poor bag boys are going to be obsolete. Some of them were so darned cute.

LOL

Out here (Southern California) you can do this at albertsons.com and vons.com (vons is a Safeway brand). At Albertson's, you can pay $9.95 for delivery, or $5.95 for them to gather it for you so you can pick it up. It's really nice, and I do find it helps me not buy junk. I haven't done it much, but I can go throught he lists of things and decide what I want to buy, and then go through what it is in my 'cart' and prune out what I put in there that I really don't need, or isn't in my budget.

:confused:

OK, I too am a Reeses addict.......Lately though when I NEEDED it, I bought the SMALL bag of reeses pieces. Split them 5 ways (btw me & my 4 kids) and ate my mini serving VERY SLOWLY loving every second of it. I figure 5 resses pieces can't be too bad. After all they were ET's favorite and look at his BMI..........

I know it's not the same, but I found something when I'm really desperate. I put a little low fat Peanut Butter in Cream of Wheat. I use the single serving instant made with milk. Put peanut butter in the milk. Micro 2 minutes. Stir in instant Cream of Wheat. Micro 1 more minute. This takes care of my peanut butter craving. You can top with yogurt or anything. Perhaps something Sugar Free Chocolate.< /p>

Peanut Butter cups are my favorite.

Reese's makes sugar free mini pb cups! I found them when I found out I was diabetic...taste like regular ones! One mini kills that craving for me.

I have a receipe for a kind of Reeces square. It DOES taste like the real thing and you can leave the chocolate part off, which is unfortunate because I think there is some value in working for that little bit of Peanut Butter inside. Totally addictive, however I'm proud to say I haven't made it in about 5 years.

i like only the thin layer of chocolate on the top and bottom of the cup. I do not like the thick rim of chocolate on the outer rim of the cup.

lol, I'm an addict too. I make them @ home we call them Peanut Butter fudge.

My Grand ma taught me how to make them, she would roll the peanut butter mix into balls then on a toothpick dip them into chocolate. I only make them 1 or 2 times a year. Xmas and if we go somewhere we have to bring a desert.

My hubby cannot see a movie in the theater w/out his reeses pieces, I cant watch it w/out popcorn! lol

I bet I could change up my recipe using low fat peanut butter, splinda (sp) hmm dunno. I'm going to go eat an apple and peanut butter now :)

Oh man. Reese's are the only candy that I really like, and they're my favorite. I haven't had one since banding. I do have a surrogate, FWIW. I add a tbl of low-fat PB to my Protein shakes. In chocolate powder it tastes Peanut Butter cup-ish, not spot on but really good. In vanilla powder it tastes like the white chocolate cups, IMO.

Next time I make a shale I'm going to try the SF PB DaVinci Syrup. Mmm... can't wait...

(Ok, speaking of Peanut Butter & chocolate addictions, I don't really like ice cream that much, but BR has the BEST flavor, Peanut Butter Chocolate... mmmmmmmmm...)

      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.
