Peanut Butter Controversy...

[Guest guest]

Hello all! A week (maybe 2) or so ago, someone posted on here about

PB not being an authorized food. Until then, once a week or so, I

was having a Tbs of PB and I was horrified to think I might actually

be " cheating. " So, I started doing some research and found some

interestesting facts I thought I would share...it is obviously not

news to many of you, but to those it might help, it made me

rethink " what I *really* wanted " out of this challenge and what I,

personally, was willing to do to obtain it...my answer is, I want

the most I can possibly get from it and I'll scrap PB until I hit

my " target, " whether that is this challenge (or 3), later.

This came from this site, if you wanna read further (it has a great

section on " authorized fruits " as well!

*It is the suggestion of the managers of the board that natural

peanut butter be avoided during the first challenge. It is not on

the original book list.

**It is the suggestion of the managers to avoid milk because it is

an additional carbohydrate that does not provide the nutrients that

the carbohydrates on the book list provide. "
