    I am a sweet-a-holic. I gave up candy, try to eat less cakes, cookies, cupcakes (I am also an avid baker) There is no way in HELL I will give up my JIF. NEVER. I will eat it and all of it's "badness" with an apple everyday. It makes life good.

    Forget moderation. As my friend Cory would say, "grab a spoon and dig in." Love peanut butter (the natural kind without the hydrogenated oils). My day just isn't the same without some of that nutty goodness. Peanuts are a great source of good fat and protein. Sure it might be a little high cal, but I see so many people complaining about not being able to eat 1,200 calories that I think they would be better off with more peanut butter in their lives. Amen.

    PS. My brand of poison is the Adam's All Natural Peanut butter.

    Can I just say how much I adore that I got referenced in an answer to a thread I haven't posted in yet? :heart:

    Step one: Grab a spoon.
    Step two: Open peanut butter.
    Step three: Scoop peanut butter out with a spoon.
    Step four: Insert spoon in mouth.
    Step five: Enjoy a mouth full of heaven.

    ETA (by request) Step six: Make eye contact with someone

    Pretty excited that I get to be the first to say it: Better N' Peanut Butter! I get it at Trader Joe's. It's soo tasty and the calories are half that of peanut butter. I love the soft, creamy texture, too. Luscious.

    2 tbsp=100 cals

    I eat it all the time on fruit or caramel rice cakes. I grind my own at the grocery store and add a little kosher salt when I get home. 1 T = 100 cals, so no reason not to work it into my eating plan. I use powdered peanut flour (same as PB2 but 4 times cheaper) in smoothies and baked goods to save on fat/calories.

    IF and only IF you measure carefully and control your portions. I forgot this little fact and just eye balled peanut butter. After 1 week I had gained 6 lbs...very very bad! But with control it is good source of protein and fat (yes, the good fat that everyone needs a little of in their diet).

    PB2. Great low calorie substitute, can make a paste with it, or put it in shakes.

    Yay. And I go for the natural kind. Just ground peanuts. No sugar, no added oils.
    How do you use that stuff? Do you have to mix it up every time you use it? What happens if you dump the oil out

    When you buy a big jar it does separate and you just mix it back in. I just buy a small amount at a time now (I grind it at the store so I can buy whatever amount I want). If you dump the oil out instead of mixing it back in you are just left with a hard lump of peanut stuff.
