    peanut butter

    is the regular peanut butter that much worse for you than the all-natural peanut butter?

    i can stomach the all-natural but i don't think it's that great. just wanted to know if i should continue the sacrifice

    You will get used to all natural after a while and it will taste fine, and yes, transfats are bad for you.

    i like smuckers all natural peanut butter and just eat it right out the jar. 2 tbsp = 15 g of fat. either that or i take in a quarter cup of unsalted almonds or a tbsp of flax seed oil.

    straight out of the jar. i just have a really big glass of water to get it down. this stuff sticks to the roof of your mouth more than regular pb. also you have to keep it refrigerated so it's cold. i prefer my PB at room temp personally.

    For my pro/fat meals, i sometimes cook some chicken in a tbsp or so of extra virgin olive oil. If i have ground turkey or hamburger meat i add it in there too. you can also add it on top if you grill also

    Pb

    natty pb is great. ****, there's even an all pb diet posted on elitefitness......swole, what do you think about that diet anyway?

    anyway, trader joe has good natty pb in bulk. i also have natty almond butter from the health food section of my grocery store. it's good ****. you can get either in creamy, but i prefer the cruncy. if you want, put it on celery.

    Thanks for the input, I'm not as worried about the protein as i am the fat. I have plenty for protein as its a pretty simple nutrient to get. The good fat is the hard part bc everything that you have to eat to get it is nasty

    what? raw celery is awesome. i thinkyou actually burn more calories consuming/digesting it than the celery has itself. perfect food!

    Trans fats are minimal ( when the mandatory trans fat labeling starts, it will say 0g. I read an article about it, but i lost the link) and so are the added sugars (maybe a gram more per serving)...I just eat the regular stuff.

    I believe regular PB has saturated fats and lots of sugar.

    Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, fully hydrogenated vegetable oil, mono and diglycerides, etc. There is something about those ingredients that dont sound very appealing to me. The processed stuff is processed to the point that it will not go bad for years even if stored at room temp. The natural must be refrigerated because it is so much closer to being a "live" food. I just feel a lot better about the natural.

    Natural PB is the only way to go..... there is too much other $hit in regular PB like others have stated. Plus regular PB doesn't have the EFA's natty PB does. The EFA oil in Natty PB is what makes it a good source of fat.

    And yes it tastes D*amn good...... I hardly ever use it in my diet because it is hard to only have 1-2 tbsp as a meal lol.... I end up eating 1/4 of the jar
