    I LOVE smart balance PB sooooo much i can not buy it. I asked my roommate who likes it to please hide it from me. but i keep finding it when a craving hits. IDK what to do I personally dont like consuming it every day when im dieting but its hard to just have it one day, bc then i want to eat the whole jar. some days are better then others. I need to join a a support group for those trying to quit PB :)

    UK here and I'm seriously addicted to the stuff! Spoon and jar type addicted! Lol

    I have been having for a treat after the gym in the evenings, one of the small slices wholemeal toast with a tbsp almond butter. Love it, but not as much as pb - oh god, I gotta get me some now!

    I'm all about the peanut butter. And.. what is a fluffernutter?

    Soooo yummy! You have to try one sometime if you have the extra calories to spare! Peanut butter and marshmallow cream.... yum... sometimes a small squirt of chocolate syrup... it's almost like eating a s'more or a snickers bar... wow, i'm drooling just thinking about it... I don't eat peanut butter much though because even though I like it it does NOT like me.

    I love PB too! And it is my go to food when I have extra calories left, after I run a 5K, when I'm feeling down, etc... I especially love it with mayo! But only if I have LOTS of calories left..:)

    I know peanut butter is not as popular over in Europe (The Real World?) as it is in North America but I happen to love it. I have 1 tbsp of Kraft peanut butter smooth on whole wheat toast every night as part of my nighttime snack. I always add it to my diary at the start of the day so I work my calories and exercise around it. I know it sounds crazy but I eat very healthy. I make all my meals, eat lots of fruit and vegetables and don't eat processed foods very often. This is my way of rewarding myself for my hard work through the day and to me it is worth it.

    Good luck and remember this journey is not only about losing weight, it is about treating yourself well and getting both your body and mind into a place that you are really happy with it.

    Cheers

    Smuckers All Natural Peanut Butter and Maranatha Almond Butter have replaced all of the junky food I used to eat. I eat 1-3 TB per day of it and always stay under on all of my numbers. I love it!

    i had a roommate that loved peanut butter so much, but ended up having high cholesterol from it.

    Your roommate did not get high cholesterol from Peanut butter.

    I have 1-2 Tbsp every day. As long as you're making your numbers, it's fine.

    replace the bread with apple slices....THE BOMB!!! :-) at least once in awhile. :) i too, love the butter, but use almond instead.

    Agree, and melt the peanut butter in the microwave first and dip the apple slices I have this at least 5 times a week. ~180 calories.

    holy hell i have never thought of doing that!!! i eat apples n PB 3 times a week.. I AM SO TRYIN THAT!!

    i had a roommate that loved peanut butter so much, but ended up having high cholesterol from it. so just be careful with those kinds of numbers. and they actually have this: http://bellplantation.com/ !

    no cholesterol in Peanut Butter and in fact it is loaded with the healthier kind of fats (unsaturated and polyunsaturated) so it may help lower your bad cholesterol level (LDL cholesterol)

    I loooove peanutbutter, it's the only thing I eat on toast. I would have this most mornings, 2 slices of wholemeal toast with some peanutbutter (I won't lash it on now, just a thin little layer).
    Nothing wrong with it, good fats is what I'm telling myself!
