Addicted to peanuts

2013sk

I am also addicted to nuts & peanut butter!!! Like myself we need to keep this in moderation, I can so easily get carried away with peanut butter more than normal nuts. They are so yummy that's why!!!!

I am just going to try and keep an 'eye' on how much goes into my mouth.

Maybe just take a handful at a time, or portion out an amount and try not to eat over this. Otherwise like myself - I could easily eat a packet of nuts - or a tub of peanut butter if I am left a lot - YIKES!!!

This is enlightening. I was never a fan of peanuts/peanut butter b4 losing weight. Now, I crave them. I always have dry roasted peanuts in the house now and have 1/4 cup of them every day. I have often wondered why I crave them now, and never before.

This is interesting. I've never been a fan of peanuts( or any other nut) prior to working out and losing weight either. In fact, I was kind of disgusted by them.

The salt is why I go after nuts I am sure.

I just can't stop. I started buying them a few weeks ago as a healthy protein jumpstart snack and I've gone crazy with them. Peanuts are high in calorie and fat. I'm always on the go so they're easy to bring along. When I eat them, I become energized and my body goes crazy! It's the most satisfying thing I eat. Am I really that fat and protein depleted??? When I feel week, they make me feel strong. I have to stop though because the calories are way to high. I'm at the bottom so they'll be gone tomorrow and I decided that I won't buy them anymore. But why am I going crazy over them? Has anyone else experienced this??? It's not hunger I'm feeling- it's like a nutritional need.

You might want to try All Natural Skippy Peanut butter with honey, and toss the bag of peanuts. Peanuts are definitely satisfying they clear up the hunger pangs, but too much is going to pack on the weight.

I will do a tablespoon or two out of the jar of Peanut butter, and that keeps me going and has the exact same effect as what you described.

Peanut butter out of the jar is the "fit girls" ice cream out of the pint.

Wut?

The only way I can control myself with nuts is to measure out a 1/4 cup and then quickly put the rest away for the rest of the day. Another alternative is to buy those 100 calorie packs of nuts and limit yourself to one a day.

Bought some chocolate whipped PB lastnight... my urge won.... and it's about half empty, lol. I guess it will just fuel my squat / deadlift session tomorrow.

Peanuts are good. Peanuts and dried fruits are fantastic and as good as any candy, IMO.
