Peanut butter, nutella, and chocolate chip addiction

I love peanut butter too - I wouldn't cut it out from your diet as it could all go wrong - You could have a massive binge on it.
You just need to learn to have a little bit......THEN STOP!!!!
Everything in moderation
Eating loads of it or the whole jar wont help you with your weight loss.... Or just set certain days for peanut butter, etc.0 -
another trick I learned is to add one tablespoon of peanut butter to your oatmeal. its like eating a heavenly bowl of creamy peanut butter. I swear its so yummy.. but I swear by my jif to go cups. when its gone, its gone.0
-
I can't buy Nutella - if I do, I just eat it all with a spoon......you are not alone there.....0

I will never give up my peanut butter addiction....unless I develop some sort of peanut allergy :noway:

When I'm going through a PB or Nutella addiction, I either buy just a single serving OR I don't buy them at all. If they aren't in the house, I can't eat them.0

I love peanut butter too much to go without it. I switched to a brand made with only roasted peanut butter and salt to eliminate the added sugar. My favorite snack is a sliced apple with a tablespoon of PB. Yum! Bananas & pears are also great with it.
You can totally keep these things in your diet as long as you plan for them and are mindful of the quantities.0 -
It is not an addiction, at least not a physical one.
Just don't keep them in your house, problem solved.0 -
Honestly, to me eating something that you know could give you a rash or potentially lead to anaphylaxis is not understandable just because the person loves it, it's actually idiotic. I mean talk about lack of will power take. To the extreme. Let me show up at someone's house that needed help because they die that, I obviously will help but you better believe that person will be told afterwards how dumb their decision was.
Sorry but that makes absolutely no sense. None at all.My addiction to peanut butter was so bad that I can't even have it in my hoouse! I'm even allergic to peanuts (newly diagnosed) and struggle to not eat it when I'm around it. Not having it here helps. I don't have the others here either. Good luck!
Just out of interest... why does that not make sense? You can develop allergies to almost anything, so the recently diagnosed bit makes sense. And allergic reactions can range from anything to a mild rash to severe anaphylaxis so....? Does seem to make sense!
Btw, OP, one thing I found was to buy single serve portions (like the others said) or to alternatively, have "indulgent" tasting desserts that were relatively lower in calories. For example, lindt excellence chocolate microwaved with weight watchers double chocolate pudding= chocolately, goeey awesomeness. Alternatively, try a few of the quest protein bars... pretty filling and when microwaved/put in the oven, they taste pretty good! Not quite nutella etc but the PB flavour one is decent.
Oh right. I read her response to mean it was a struggle but she * didn't* eat it because she'd been diagnosed as allergic. Damn Internet, makes it hard to know what the intended meaning is. But yes, if that's the case (ie anybody eating stuff they know they're allergic to) then regardless of the reason, it's stupid and makes my soul die just a little bit.
Without getting super technical, a true allergy can easily progress into full blown anaphylaxis at any time and without warning. Its life threatening (and often deteriorates rapidly) and deserves appropriate respect. It can also happen regardless of age of diagnosis and the actual allergen doesn't make a difference. Peanuts are particularly well known for it so please be careful.0 -
Put one serving of peanut butter on a rice cake and drizzle with some honey or agave and it's an awesome dessert! I also like to dip an apple into peanut butter for a good snack. Peanut butter is a good source of protein so just pay attention to serving sizes, I also LOVE the JIF to go cups!!! For my chocolate cravings I love the Weight Watchers fudgesicle bars. I have also seen some really awesome recipes on pinterest for mug cakes that are single serving and some are sugar free, so you might wanna google those ! Good luck, from someone who also loves peanut butter!0

Actually, I also have a mild intolerance to peanuts (considered a form of an allergy), and I eat peanut butter all the time. It's not a "can't breathe", anaphylactic shock type of allergy. And I'm guessing OP's isn't either, or she wouldn't just be finding out she has it as an adult. For me, it means if I eat half a jar at a time, I might get indigestion.
If I ate half a jar of peanut butter I'd have some indigestion too. I think everyone has a peanut intolerance then.0 -
Tis' true. The first bee sting will hurt. That 2nd bee sting might kill you.
You just reminded me to pick up an epipen. I've been stung 8 times and I am allergic to bee stings. Luckily no breathing troubles but the swelling is ridiculous. Thanks for the reminder.0 -

I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease. My entire diet consisted of pasta and bread - I physically stopped eating for a while to the point it was stupid. I lived on a gluten free diet for about 3 years - gradually started introducing things back, and yeah, at first I got horrendous tummy aches and couldn't move for a few hours, or got a rash, or whatever, but I still did it because that was better than eating nothing and I enjoyed it too much.
If the guy above wants to eat peanut butter, he's more than welcome. If you'd rather have the symptoms than no peanut butter at all, that's your own decision. I personally would have rather experienced the pain.
Turns out 10 years on I eat wheat full time now and suffer no symptoms. They're saying I was misdiagnosed. Just goes to show.....0 -

I'm really sorry. Wasn't intending to hijack this thread but I feel almost negligent not clarifying some things. An intolerance is NOT an allergy. An allergy and intolerance may present similarly and/or have similar associated things but they are not the same. HOWEVER, if you have a known allergy then please avoid your allergen. We're all adults here but even the amazingness of peanut butter is not worth the risk. We're all adults though so do what you will, just have the correct information at hand.0

I wouldn't apologize. It needed to be said. I'm someone who has an actual food allergy (anaphylaxis from seafood -- and because I could eat it for the first seventeen years of my life I seriously love it in all it's forms). But plummeting blood pressure, inability to breathe, epipens, and hospitalization aren't anything to trivialize. That **** can kill you.0 -
I have found out over numerous years that if I want chocolate, I can eat a whole # of carrots and I still want the chocolate. No matter how hard I try one just doesn't swap out for the other.
So I too like the individual servings of things, chips, PB and others. That has been such a calorie saver for me.
I also put them in the basement so I have to ask myself after a days work do I want to go down and get it. Sometimes, I just say no.0 -
So... whenever I have to answer the question about food allergies (often on medical questionairres), I only have one known "allergy" (or maybe intolerance, who knows). That is bread with food coloring. I can eat bread. I can eat other foods with food coloring (I get asked about red dye all the time, and so that isn't the issue). They just don't mix. I get nausea, vomiting, and ketone breath.
How do I know this? When I was young, my dad was "festive" and thought red and green bread for Christmas was what people should do. #FirstWorldProblems
Anyway, the obvious answer is to avoid eating bread with food coloring, or peanut butter or whatever. (I get that one is easier to avoid than the other due to availability and market pervasiveness.)0 -
Just eat it in moderation, it's not rocket science.
Also-- its curb your appetite not curve.0
