Actually I think regular pb is better than reduced fat. Check the

carb count on reduced fat and the label...added sugar. I used to only

use the old fasionied PB but Skwigg I think or Stasia posted some

info that I believe said it was basically the sam as regular Jiffy so

I use good ol' Jiffy now. The key for me and PB is never to

guestimate. I measure, even if it is just 1 tsp I measure measure

measure or I'll cheat to have more <G>. I eat it about every other

day myself either in Protein pancakes or occasionally on WW bread. I

just don't do my Flax that day or adjust my flax accordingly.

I'd say 1 Tablespoon per day as a healthy fat with a meal is OK. That

should be around 7-8 grams of fat.

---Hey ! welcome to the club and the bfl program! peanut butter

is a healthy fat. use only one tbs a day of it. you are supposed to

have one tbs of healthy fat a day...it says in the bfl book. peanut

butter can be just that. it is not to be used as a protein. so for

example I make a shake with 1 or 2 cups skim milk..which is my

carb..then 1 scoop protein powder for my protein..then add 1 tbs

peanut butter for my fat for the day. then..you don't touch the stuff

the rest of the day! for me..lol..that took some discipline cause I

luv that dang peanut butter! if you are gonna put that tbs of peanut

butter on your tortilla..do that..then say..have a bowl of cottage

cheese..or some other form of lean protein. you could even have a

ready to drink protein shake with that meal. but remember..the peanut

butter is the healthy fat for the day..not your protein..k. great job

for deciding to do bfl!

Thanks for answering both of my questions Kathi When I was doing

South Beach I had to put myself on peanut butter restriction because

I went crazy with it. What I thought was two tbsp was really more

like five when I weighed it and I still wanted more. It's just one

of those things I have major problems with in regards to portion

control, so it was easier to give it up altogether. I have found

that the only way that I can get it without going overboard these

days is to spread it on a tortilla, then I can use only a tbsp.

I am glad to hear I am not the only one that goes peanut butter or almond butter

crazy!!!!!! I have to be sooooo careful.

Glad to hear as I'm one of those also. My hubby laughs at me because

I literally get the tsp out and measure. If I didn't my eyes would

surely percieve 3 tbsp as 1 tsp

My husband and I actually measure each other's cereal to put a bit of

togetherness into it.

Would that be a Fluffernutter ? I've never tried one (we're

on the west coast) but I love the name

I love my PB on apples, and my newest favorite is spreading it on

the La Tortilla Factory whole wheat tortillas with a handful of

frozen blueberries...mmmmmmmmmmm

There's still the old standby and one of my personal favorites,

straight out of the jar on a spoon. With or without a handful of

Ghirardelli chocolate chips Saved for a free day, of course!

[Guest guest]

Yes - Fluffernutter! I haven't called it that in awhile - of course it

would be pronounced " fluffa-nutta " if you were in Massachusetts! You must

try it - it's a little bite of heaven, I think.

Oh my gosh - I can't believe I forgot peanut butter and chocolate. My fave?

Home Made PB/chocolate squares or PB balls - same recipe, just different

forms. Something about the PB mixed with graham and chocolate on top - oh

my goodness. more free day list stuff!

I'd eat peanut butter on dirt...and I'd STILL eat the whole jar. Matter of

fact, that goes for ANY nut butter. It is, without doubt, the food I have the

most vulnerability to---and, no, it's not food allergy driving (not for me,

anyway). So...no PB for Beth. Just too dangerous.

Beth in Austin

I just don't understand what's so good about it.... how can it be so

appealing? I only ever have it in a satay, and I don't know a

single person who eats in on sandwiches or anything. I guess it

must be something american kids grow up with?

I promote it as it is a great source of fats and protein.

Peanut butterWhat does everyone tell their patients regarding the use of peanut butter.I have had so many patients ask me about this. If you say it's okay whatserving do you recommend? Do you recommend natural peanut butter or isregular PB okay? I normally tell them to avoid it because of the increasedkcal and fat content. Thanks, GregolineColumbus Regional Hospital

[Guest guest]

Our program encourages fat-free or natural peanut

butter mostly for the protein content. Most people

tolerate this ok.

Good question.

Peanut butter is not a bad food. However, if you are in a setting dealing

with a patient who has a history of overeating/binge eating and peanut

butter was a trigger before surgery then peanut butter may not be the

healthiest choice after surgery. The memory may influence the total

consumption. Yet, each person is an individual, and taste perception changes

post-operatively.

I also inform the patient that peanut butter is higher in fat. Eating too

much may cause the dumping syndrome with RNY. However if tolerated, patients

could eat more of that than other nutrient dense foods when given the

opportunity.

I recommend natural peanut butter because it contains no trans fats. A

serving would be around 1-2 tsp or 1/2 Tbsp.

Thanks,

Not fat free but pretty close

http://www.peanutwonder.com/distributors.htm

I bought this once but couldn't bring myself to actually taste it, the texture is a little "different". Not sure about the trans fats, the website should say....

These are the ingredients in the Wonder peanut butter.

Ingredients:Peanuts (as de-fatted peanut flour and natural peanut butter), tapioca syrup, pure water, dehydrated cane juice, rice syrup, vegetable glycerin, soy flour, salt, tapioca starch, natural flavors, paprika & annatto, calcium carbonate, lecithin, vitamins e & c (antioxidants).

It hardly seems worth it. Peanut butter is primarily unsaturated fat, and now this peanut butter has at least three sources of natural sugar in it. The product makers tout the fact that it doesn't have refined sugars in it, but our bodies don't know the difference.

I tell my patients to use natural peanut butter; where the fat is separated out from the peanut butter. Smuckers Natural is one brand I recommend in the supermarket or I tell them to look in health food stores or places such as Mrs. Green's or Trader Joe's. I always tell them that peanut butter's ingredients should be peanuts only and maybe salt. And to watch the calories of course since it is high in fat (though good fat)

Peanut butter is considered a healthy fat on BFL. It's ok to have it

as long as you keep the portion small (under a tablespoon) and

understand that it doesn't qualify as a protein source for your meal.

If you have peanut butter on an apple or whole wheat toast, the

apple/toast are the carb, peanut butter is the fat, and you would

still need to add another protein portion.

It's what I use. I deliberately choose it over the low fat ones

because I'm getting less sugars. The fat content is only 3g higher.

I also don't eat it all of the time. I only eat a couple of

tablespoons a couple of days a week, so it's worth it. I love the

flavor so much better.

Wow...I don't know why I never realized this, but thank you for

I don't know if it was the peanut butter or what, but when I started to do it,

my boobs felt like they were getting a little bigger. My C cup definitely felt

like it was getting tighter. And I was still losing weight!!! Go figure...
