Peanut butter = the devil!

Haha I LOVE the idea of having your dog lick the spoon- that is genius! :happy: I might try that. And mixing it in with the chocolate sounds delicious as well... I might try this, and if i can't control myself on this at least I would've had a delicious treat. Thanks!!

I am addicted to peanut butter... I mean I honestly think it's a clinical addiction (okay- that might be a bit dramatic, but you know what I mean). I know a little bit is good for you but I can NEVER stop at "a little," and I can hadly stop after 4 spoonfuls of it! Is the best solution to just avoid it 100%? I know it's a "good fat" but I literally cannot control it... any advice??! Help!!

I've learned that for myself, any food that triggers a binge, regardless of its health benefits, has to be eliminated for the time being.
Sadly, peanut butter (or almond butter) is one of those foods.
If I can't moderate it, I have to abstain.
I want to be successful at fat loss so going without certain foods is a price I'm willing to pay.

I get my good fats from avocado, olive oil, flaxseed and fish, all foods that don't give me trouble.
Concentrating on the foods that I can have is a better alternative than focusing on foods I can't.

On days that I work out and have calories to fill, I will have 3 pb cracker sandwiches using 1Tbsp PB and 6 saltines. It's just enough to fill that craving. Although, I was a little naughty and had a Reese's PB Cup on Tuesday, and the other yesterday...but I fit it into my count and took teeny tiny bites to savor it longer so I didn't gobble the other one down too.

If peanut butter is the devil, the devil is delicious.
