I never pointed you out specifically at all. I clearly said "other" people. Many posts have stated why think it's great and why they eat it.

Lol you can break down any natural food that far. Here is a link of lots of natural foods broken as far down as your banana. https://www.google.com/search?q=an+all+natural+banana+ingredients&biw=1317&bih=540&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj0peHC9ZPOAhUFbT4KHYsRBzcQsAQIKg#imgrc=vdTPNglk-X2D-M%3A You can also…

Didn't push anything at all. Simply stated I do not think it's good for you given the diet I follow. People talk all day long on here about goals and what works and does not work for them. This has worked wonderful for me and made me feel overall much better on the inside as far at bloating and indigestion. Other people…

It's not incorrect for the diet I follow. I've stated that from the get go. Lots of people do not consider peanuts to be healthy for their diet. I accept that I'm the only one on this thread. That's ok. I have a diet that has worked and continues to work great for me. I was just sharing my personal insight. It does not…

It is absolutely supported by the diet I follow. Most people following a paleo/whole 30 diet are not eating peanuts. End of story lol.

Awesome!!! I would love to try tae bo. I know it's a great workout.

Given the diet I follow, I would keep bananas on the list of not eating all the time HOWEVER, I'm a long distance runner who runs marathons, ultras, long distance relays, and participates in high intensity workouts, etc. So in that case bananas are actually fine for me and don't cause unnecessary weight gain.

Wow! Lots of hate over 1 word. If you're asking me, I say that I don't think peanut butter is that good for you and I also mentioned the diet I follow. However, if it keeps the haters away then yes, I suppose I should have said "me". Btw, everyone seemed to give their personal opinion. Mine was just in the minority lol.

Those words never came out of my mouth. In my other responses I have clearly said that of course there is peanut butter without added sugar. I prefer almonds over peanuts. Not sure why such the negative tone from everyone about my very simple opinion of peanuts. I do not judge any other person on how and what they eat and…

Yup, you are absolutely correct. There are definitely peanut butters without added sugar (many more people buy just regular peanut butter and may not be in the know what the label reads). That was really my only point in saying that. I should have clarified better, but it was late and was just trying to simply give my…

Why is this a weird claim??? I'm one of the only ones who says peanut butter is not great for you. Most others do not seem to have an issue. I see you also have an issue with the paleo/whole food type diet. So again, I only stated that this is a diet that I follow and it works great for me. I am less bloated when not…

For sure! If you don't typically eat like that and then pound the salt/fat/carb content it could definitely do that :) It will go back down once you are back on track. I'm dealing with that right now because I was on vacation all week and had some foods I normally would not eat. Weight jumps on very quickly when you eat an…

You are right and I've made my own almond butter many times :) Overall, I believe almonds are better for you than peanuts. However, as I mentioned above, I follow a mainly clean eating diet. I basically follow a whole 30/paleo diet and for me peanuts just do not fall into that category as they are considered a legume (you…

I guess I'm in the minority, but I say no...it's not good for you. It has added sugar in it so if you are looking for just a filling snack I would be much more inclined to say buy a jar of almond butter which has no added sugar. It offers the same satisfaction and is great on apples and celery. It is more expensive, but if…

Whenever it comes to hanging out socially with my friends...they pretty much know I'm going to bring something healthy to eat so they do not think I'm weird and they actually like me bringing healthy options. I make sure it's something that I can snack on easily. I also like to eat before I go anywhere so I can eat what is…

Easily, even on a day when I eat really well, I can gain 3 lbs. from first thing in the morning to the very end of the day. I drink a lot of water everyday so I know a good portion of it is that. The next day it's back down again. I don't think it's abnormal to have to take a few days to get back to normal after a heavy…

Decaf coffee and banana.

My 5k time for non race (because I haven't run a 5k in forever) is around 24 minutes. I would think that at race pace it would be 22:30ish.

I dice up baked/grilled chicken and mix it with avocado for a healthy version of chicken salad and I usually eat that in a lettuce wrap. I had a few small wraps today and some carrots.

I love it and all melons. It's so awesome this time of year!
