Peanut Butter Slices?

I'm a huge peanut butter/almond butter fan. Yes, you get good fats
from both. Another great fat is olive oil. Unfortunately it is
difficult to measure two tablespoons (my portion) accurately, and I
tend to cheat a little. trig - mine also used to be very high.
Switching to a diet 40% good fats has corrected it and raised my HDL.
I use only natural peanut butter/almond butter. The best almond
butter is "360" from whole foods. Try mixing PB or AB with oatmeal -
also mixes well with yogurt. BTW fabulous job on your weight loss.

lowered my tryg. some in the last year from getting a little nuts occasionally,

went way too high after 1 1/2 yrs of very low fat dieting. I did eat about 3
oz of protein at dinner, and tuna, or a slice of fat free ham at lunch. But I
didn't get any other fats. I have read many places since that this can cause
the tryglicerides to jump sky high. Thanks for any information. Beverly B

peanut butter. And the other flavor I like is the applecinnamon peanut

But my recent favorite is to get the fresh ground natural stuff from my
local grocer, then add splenda to sweeten it to my own taste. Less sugar
content that way.


I love peanut butter but I can only have it in limited quantities. Peanuts
make me swell up, though not to the extent of anaphylaxis as in a severe
allergy. I started buying sugar & salt free natural PB but hadn't thought
about using splenda! I like spreading a tsp on a whole wheat tortilla and
wrapping it around a banana. Adding a little cinnamon and splenda would
really rock

I haven't seen these - but then again I don't usually buy peanut butterg.
I love it but have a tendency to lose control when it's in the house. Is
it sold along side the regular jars of peanut butter?

I find it at Walmart. It is in the cheese department. It is individually
wrapped just like some slices of cheee are. Beverly B

Thanks for the hint. I've never tried the almond butter. I eat oatmeal every
morning, so I might try that. Beverly B

My kitchen is nearly bare all the time because of the stuff I love,
such as PB. And poverty, bare for that reason too!

Applecinnamon PB? Never seen that. It sounds like something you'd
find in one of the whole foods earthy-crunchy overpriced stores.

I know this is a personal question and you don't have to answer.. but how

are ways that you can get out of it. You don't have to respond, I am just
curious...

It's a rare indulgence but less than 200 calories with the way I do them.
Peanut butter is much better with milk and I can't deal with milk right now.
