Lose Weight on the Peanut Butter Diet
In spite of the scary news about the girl who died after kissing her boyfriend who had just eaten a peanut butter snack, it appears if you eat 4 to 6 tablespoons of peanut butter every day you'll lose weight and you won't be hungry.
For now, color me skeptical.
Yeah, yeah, peanut butter is loaded with calories. But it's also packed with monounsaturated fats, which Men's Health magazine calls the original death-defying potion. In fact, the magazine goes so far as to say we should all be on the Skippy Diet to reduce the risk of heart disease AND to lose weight.
And what does a day of peanut butter eats look like?
Breakfast: Peanut Butter and Banana Shake (1 cup of fat-free milk, 1 medium banana, and 2 Tbsp. peanut butter liquefied in a blender)
Lunch: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich and an apple
Snack: Peanut butter on a rice cake
Dinner: It's peanut-butter free! But be sensible and enjoy a skinless chicken breast, chopped nuts, an avocado, and a salad for example. [source]

I'm w/you.
I almost wondered if they came up w/this idea from Big Brother. Isn't one of the punishments for losing a challenge to eat nothing but peanut butter for a week?

I love peanutbutter. Love it, and do incorporate it into my diet fairly often, mostly on whole wheat english muffins or toast for breakfast. It satisfies me and gives me tons of energy for my workouts. That said, I think I'd get sick of eating this much peanutbutter every day, anybody would. I'll keep eating it, but not every day.
