    Is.
    So.
    Divine.

    And I'm obsessed with peanut butter too. I just don't keep any in the house.
    If my fiance wants a PB & J, he can figure something else out.
    I just refuse to sabatoge myself.

    Peanut butter is the bomb-diggity and I have 15 different kinds in the house. If I don't have some peanut butter in my day then it's a bad, bad day.

    Like everything in dieting, portion control is key.

    For calorie-dense foods like peanut butter or chips, you should get a food scale and weigh your portions. Measure out your portion and then put away the jar of peanut butter.

    Personally, I place 20 grams of peanut butter on a low-calorie slice of bread, fold it in half to make a half-sandwich, place it in a snack-size ziploc bag, and put it in my lunch box for part of my morning snack.

    A little bit of peanut butter will give you lots of peanut butter taste.

    The truth is, its a sugar addiction. Try Kirkland Peanut Butter, or any peanut butter that's only ingredients is, peanuts.

    Peanut butter is one of my trigger foods, added to apples or bananas. When I do have it, it's difficult to stop with 2 Tablespoons. I don't have that problem with the PB2. I also added a small amount of crunchy PB to the PB2 for a change of pace.
    The PB2 also comes with premium chocolate, if you want to try it before purchasing a large jar, some Green Markets sell the sample package for about $1.00. If you are wanting to avoid the sugars not much will be gained by switching to PB2, however there are other benefits.
    Jif Reduced Fat PB: C=190, Fat=12,Sodium=220, Carb=15, Fiber=2,Sugar=4, Protein=7
    PB2: C=45, Fat=1,Sodium=70, Carb=6, Fiber=1,Sugar=3, Protein=4

    To the gentleman that stated 'Willpower" is the answer, implying (to my way of thinking) those who struggle don't have willpower, I would like to point out the following...

    Willpower is what we have in abundance, otherwise we would not continue trying to lose weight and return to a healthy weight.
    "Won't Power" is what is needed... I Won't have (fill in the blank _____________) over a healthy amount today.

    "Won't Power" sounds like negative thinking to me. Your will is your desire and willingness. It's your brain overcoming your feelings and emotions to do what you know you need to do. I like to think in positive terms.

    For me, when I consume peanut butter I cannot stop after 2 tbsp. Peanut butter is really only a positive addition to your diet if you max at 2 tbsp. If not, it is just as bad as consuming ice cream because of the fat content. If you are going to indulge in more than a serving size, opt for a healthier spread such as almond butter. Almonds are an overall better nut than peanuts, so you can maximize the benefits with the same effect.

    My sons love it - they are athletic growing boys and I mean they LOVE peanut butter. I can’t stop buying it because I have a weight problem and they don’t.

    So I guess it’s all about portion control and willpower.

    Fats are essential for hormone control health and they're hella tasty.

    There is nothing wrong with peanut butter OR ice cream.

    I have been supplementing with PB2. My hubby just sent me this article this morning (http://foodbabe.com/2012/09/16/the-truth-about-pb2-powdered-peanut-butter/) so I guess Im back to moderation with the Adam's PB.

    Well, I guess those 3 tbsp of peanut butter I eat almost daily is going to be the end of me. Also, what if you're trying to up your fat to meet macros? Fat isn't the enemy, no matter how much the 90s wants us to believe.

    You won't. Write you will now and leave it all to me.

    When this kills me I leave all remaining Peanut butter Gelato to MrM27
