Realizing one 2 tablespoon serving of peanut butter was half a full meal was a wakeup call. It turns out 1/4 or less of a "serving" of most processed things works the same taste-wise and doesn't lead to insatiable hunger later.
- bb101 8y agoInterestingly, peanut butter is near the bottom of the scale for being insulinogenic (the food insulin index). That means it's less likely to be put away as fat according to The Personalized Diet by Drs Segal and Elinav [1] [1] https://www.amazon.com/dp/1478918802 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1478918802
- unstuckdev 8y agoDoes this factor in the added sugar in most peanut butters? I can't find any without it around here.
- XorNot 8y agoSwitch to unsweetened, unsalted peanut butter. It's amazing - after 2 weeks I stopped noticing the difference. The amount of sugar in most peanut butter is absurd. Once you kick the sugar taste, oh wow do you realize its got a much more interesting and involved flavor.
- Dirlewanger 8y agoIt probably does. Colloquially when one says peanut butter, people think of Jiff, which can be best described as a disgusting peanut-flavored spread product. Go with natural peanut butter (i.e. where the only ingredient is peanuts and it must be stirred) and you're all good.
