I am not positive, but I'm pretty sure you are a personal trainer? Are you also a nutritionist? I was wondering what your take on peanut butter was? Natural PB anyway. I absolutely love the stuff, but every time I add it back into my diet (a TB in my oats, maybe 1/2 TB later on in the day with a snack) I feel like my weightloss stalls or becomes nonexistant. Do you think it's necessary or to do almonds/walnuts instead?
ReplyDeleteI am also trying to figure out just how much fat is necessary in my diet? Thank you very much! :)
I love PB! It's all in moderation. If you have some PB, just make sure you go light on the calories in the rest of your food for the day to make up for it. That's what helps me :)
ReplyDeleteJess I am officially going to get a panni grill seeing how much you use yours and it's so quick! where did you get yours?
Hi Hayley,
ReplyDeleteYes, I am a personal trainer. My business is Fit 2 Wed. I have 12 week women only boot camp classes. My website is www.getfit2wed.com. I'm not a nutritionist, but I do have my degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in health, fitness, and nutrition. I'll have to update my profile to share a little bit about myself and the reason for the blog.
Seriously, peanut butter is one of my favorite foods. If you look back at past days I pretty much have it almost daily. I actually make my own peanut butter. I love the Vita Mix blender it makes the best peanut butter ever. Some of my friends even bring over their nuts and pyrex for me to make them a batch. PB is definatlely high in calories, but it also keeps me full. I love to have PB and an Ezekiel tortilla for a higher calorie snack to curb my hunger when I don't have much time to eat, traveling, or busy. I also treat it like a dessert. However, it can be addicting and it is so easy to make the tbsp heap over. Sometimes I like almond butter instead because a little bit goes a little further, since the consistency is not as thick. I do agree with Laura- "It's all in moderation". However, if I find that it is my "trigger" food and I am having too much and way too many calories, I don't make it for a while, or I switch to almond butter, which is good, but doesn't make me want to lick the spoon good.
Laura- I got my panini grill at Bed Bath & Beyond (those 20% off coupons are great). I got the griddler, so I can change the plates and also set the temperature. Here is a link from one on Amazon, so you can see what it looks like.
