Truth about PB2 this food like substance

PB2 is a brilliant scam. It is the leftovers from making peanut oil, a huge commercial commodity. Before they put this crap in a jar, they sold it by the ton as animal feed.
so we are nothing more than live stock. lol
Your whey powder is the leftovers from the dairy industry. Not organic.
And the HFCS in your Pepsi is a leftover from the corn industry. It's not organic and might be GMO.
Your Chobani has 16 grams of added sugar - that's 16 times as much as PB2. Not organic.
I'm sure your diet has a bunch of heavily processed non-organic items every day. Problem is you've only logged one day of food, ever, as far as I can tell.
OP only eats "whole, clean food" clearly and therefore doesn't need to log. Dur.0 -

I guess they eat only whole clean food when they don't log, and eat a bunch of highly processed food when they do log.0 -

Well, they wouldn't eat processed stuff and then post a thread like this about how evil processed food is... That would make them a hypocrite! Right?
I don't even like peanut butter or PB2, I'm in just for the lolz of someone telling me not to eat something because it's so "bad" for me. Especially someone that seems to be in no way, shape, or form a hypocrite.
Can you taste the sarcasm? It's peanut butter flavoured. Peanut butter and SHAME.0 -

Sounds delicious.0 -
I like pb2.
I also like high fat food: Avocados, full fat this and thats, nuts, seeds, etc. PB2 is great for those who find that they eat to much fat and not enough protein. And it's delicious in...many things. I don't understand people who add water to it and spread it on toast...but it tastes pretty dandy and it's great in smoothies and topped on other stuff or in some baking.0 -
PB2 saves my life because if I ate that much real peanut butter I might gain 100 pounds : ) The struggle is real.0
-
I had never even heard of the stuff until this post... but then again I avoid pretty much all supplements (including whey protein), I try to get my vitamins, nutrients, and protein from real food... except back alley steroids, directly injected into my ball sack for maximum effectiveness... I completely under stand the point of eating clean, organic, and whole real foods though... I try to as much as possible, unfortunately it gets expensive. I probably would never use the PB2 stuff either, if I wanted peanut flavor in a shake I would just through some peanuts in the blender with it haha...0

wow exciting people. I better show some T&A to get some responses here.
Are twinkies ok? I noticed a box of them your pics. But I'm sure they do not have nearly the harmful preservatives as PB2, am I right??
Bottom line: sooner or later, there is a study to show you that everything will eventually kill you. I'm not a fan of PB2 but will use it in smoothie since I already bought it. I prefer regular PB.
Twinkies is the sweetest comeback EVER!! This is why I have twinkies. I want the sweetest comeback EVER! not literally to eat, havent had one in years0 -
I heard PB2 cures skin rashes, STD's, and one jar can feed the hungry children of Africa.
PB2 4 LYFE!
get it right. You buy a jar and they give two starving kids two jars absolutely free.0 -
Here's a novel idea... how about you worry about what you eat and I will worry about what I eat?
I prefer it to peanut butter to flavor smoothies and greek yogurt. So what? How does that hurt you?
I am madly in love with you. So what you eat DOES affect me. lol0 -
<GASP> not organic, contains sugar and isn't a whole food!!? How will we survive such horrors?
Personally, I've never eaten PB2 because I'm just not interested. But, I don't think anything in your post convinces me that PB2 is something people need to avoid.0 -
Wonderful substitute for high calorie peanut butter. That's important if one is trying to lose pounds.0

we are all going to die ,and when we do it will be fatal , everything you eat or drink is bad for you, you can eat organic food your whole life ,and be hit by a car and be killed, if you like it eat it if you dont then dont0

And? Whey protein is the byproduct of cheese manufacturing...
The old saying one mans trash is another mans treasure is still applicable.0 -
Considering that PB typically has a crapload of preservatives in a jar if it isn't all-natural and 100% organic (and even then, don't trust it), and since it comes in a jar, cannot in truth being reliably considered to be a "whole food" since it's not coming raw out of the shell... you would have to be delusional to assume typical store-bought PB (thinking Jif/Kraft/etc. here) to be a whole food, let alone PB2.
But that's okay. Your diet isn't mine. So this preaching really does nothing for me. I'll do what works for me, and you can continue doing what works for you. More power to you.I totally agree with you, Ireed. It's a great sustitute for regular peanut butter IMO. I love the choocate PB2! You can get the texture to be very close to high fat PB and if you put it in a recipe, it doesn't matter the consistency.
I'm sticking with my PB2!!So? Who is under the impression that PB2 is a "whole real food" or that it has all the same nutritional benefits as real peanut butter?
All I know is that I can add the flavor of peanut butter to my morning oatmeal or my chocolate peanut butter banana protein shake without taking in 200 calories if I can't afford it. If I COULD fit it into my calorie limit, I would, but it's difficult when eating at a deficit. I'm not going to take away part of another meal to accommodate peanut butter when all I really want is the flavor.
I eat plenty of things that aren't "whole real food" and I haven't died yet. No diarrhea, either. If you like PB2 and want to use to it save some calories, go for it. If you don't, good for you, use the real stuff. Who cares?0 -
I love to add it to my oatmeal, along with some raw honey. I couldn't care less if it's a real whole food or not. I'm actually thinking of doing this for supper now that I've read this thread. Thanks for giving me the craving!0

PB2 is awesome. Can't be worse than what's in the jars of PB on the store shelves.
To each his own.0 -
I'd actually say its better because it doesnt have the possibility of containing hydrogenated oilsPB2 is awesome. Can't be worse than what's in the jars of PB on the store shelves.

What preservatives, in particular?0 -
Why do you tell people that?I tell people I want to choose the most nutrient dense foods on the planet and PB2 is just not one of them.
Why do you do do that?
What advantage does that have if you can get your enough nutrients from less nutrient dense food?
How do you define 'nutrient dense'?
How do you measure 'nutrient dense'?
Pepsi?
Yoghurt?
The REAL truth about PB2 -
Peanuts are yukky, so I don't eat it.
(And I don't think it's even available in this country.)
Still yukky.0 -
I tried it once- didn't like it and also felt like I was paying more for less content just air.
Much prefer to have a handful of salted peanuts!0 -

I know I shouldn't encourage you, but that you actually bothered to work it over three days. :smooched:0 -

What preservatives, in particular?
Depends upon the peanut butter (what is typical?)..........To keep peanut butter fresher for longer, manufacturers may add monoglycerides and diglycerides.0 -
I know this is an old post, but I wanted to let everyone know, I have used PB2 in smoothies during the past week. I have had 4 servings in 7 days and I am experiencing horrible diarrhea. So yes, it does happen, no more for me!0
