Good morning All,

This is the second time in the course of 3 weeks that I've "binged" out on peanuts. And this is the second time after stepping on the scale the morning after that I have lost at least a 1.5-2 bls? Do you think it's my body responding to the protein and fat? P.S I usually do this "binging" when I do body circuits and interval training at night.

    Phantom weight loss. Your peanut binge did not make you 7000 calories short for the day. and if you were truly that short over the course of 24 hours, you'd be in the ER or ICU. Change in water and contents of your gut.

    Also, a day of eating high cal can jump start your metabolism. It is possible that is what is happening.

    you are binging after circuits because you are feling more hungry from the workout---binging will get you nowhere quickly. It will catch up with you. If you like to eat peanuts, you have to be in control; otherwise, do not buy them. Usually if you worked out hard, you are better off eating protein, but how about a protein shake or some lean turkey, not something we ar elikely to binge on???

    peanuts prob wont cause weight loss, (i'm a peanut freak, had to stop i ate so many i developed an intolerance) but they are good for after workouts. Protien period. :) and water.

    I believe for so many years we have all been taught don't eat fat - But IMO Fat isn't the bad thing. My guess is it's a combo of peanuts cleansing your system, the fat and calorie boost after a work out and the additional protein. I'd be careful not to do it too often.

    I was just reading an interesting article on food cravings and what they really mean. I've been craving peanut butter and went looking for an answer, the need for protein and fat was what I read was my issue.

    Thanks you all! I thought it was weird, and it did not make sense until I read that peanuts "make ya go".
    My protien needs to jump up a bit with HIIT and circuit training...thanks all!!
