[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never understood people that are eating nut butters of any kind - wholly natural or otherwise - when they are trying to lose weight. People eat nut butters when you are trying to keep weight on. [/quote]

Fat is not the enemy. It’s actually helpful to have nuts or nut butters in a diet when you are trying to accelerate weight loss, even though that sounds bizarre. It is easily used energy for your body and healthy fats are good for you if you are not over indulging or including lots of carbs and sugar as well into your diet.

I agree that fat is not the enemy, but none of what you highlight here is actually processed nuts [b]into butter form[/b][i]. Eat all the healthy fat you want. But if you want to lose weight, you probably should not be eating high calorie dense foods in processed form that makes them easy eat - and extremly easty to overeat. By contrast, endurance athletes who struggle to get in enough nutrition - myself included - sometimes rely on that sort of food as a portable option and real meal bridge.

None of this should be surprising. There is almost 3000 calories in this container of natural peanut butter: https://www.amazon.com/Teddie-Natural-Peanut-26-Ounce-Packaging/dp/B006045ONI. I have larger ones. It takes me WEEKS to go through all that. The average american will absolutely overeat something like this - and it is not even the garbage people normally buy that has added sugar.

All that said, based on what OP posted, I don't think she needs to drop any weight anyways. [/quote]
