You know what i find more addicting than sugar? Peanut butter. 1 spoon turns to 2 which goes to 3 all of a sudden 1/2 jar later i am still telling myself just 1 more scope. That is the only food that does that to me

Agreed i have no problems with diet soda/crystal light and what not

I got rid of it because I decided all the chemicals could be harming my health. I could drink a 2 liter bottle of Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper in a two days. Can’t be good. There is some research that shows female athletes who drink Diet Cola had more fractures.
Has anybody seen any studies about whether artificial sweeteners cause blood sugar to raise? I’ve heard speculation, but there have to be some studies out there. It would be easy enough to test. I believe the idea is that the sweet flavor can trick the body into reacting as if it has had sugar.

Awesome. Next time i will have to do a whole jar. Problem is i am doing that after I consume 4000 + cals of carbs pro and icnidental fats. So the 1/4 jar alone adds a tone to that 
I do have to keep that stuff away for the most part or only mix 1 spoonful into something then put it far away and force myself not to go back for more. DAMN YOU PEANUT BUTTER. Wish it didnt have so many damn cals
about to have some cashew butter with dark chocolate heated up in microwave, yum

Lol w/o getting too off topic, check out “PB2”. It’s a little pricey but is a PB product mostly de-fatted.

I too have the peanut butter problem, so bad that as of Sunday I’m just not eating it, it’s like crack. In culinary school we learned about “test” kitchens for prepackaged food and fast food. Basically those fuckers just find the “sweet spot” of mixing simple carbs, salt and fat. Hello Jif!
These concoctions don’t exist in nature and for some people, their brains just can’t handle the combo. Thus the binging and addiction.
Jif! (creamy)

lol the texture is so plain and dry though. i guess my brain equates that with “filling”.
Shoot , I don’t buy PB anymore. Mainly b/c if I get it within 3 yards of a spoon, I can’t control the inert force between the two. This normally goes on untill the contents of the jar are gone. It’s freakin science…
JK
Natty PB is the only way to go. Best stuff on the planet. No idea how you can keep it to 2 spoon fulls. As soon as that stuff get nears me I am goign to attempt to eat a lot. Its takes more will power than i have to put it down and not eat way to much
what kind do you guys use? i bought kraft natty pb. only ingredients are 100% roasted peanuts. no oils or salt. maybe thats why it tastes bland lol.
I get the kirkland brand from costco. Same ingredients.

I use Laura Scudders, smooth and nutty.
Skippy Natural with palm oil is amazing.
2 spoons of PB? 3 eggs?
And you guys call yourselves men?
