Kiki, for me peanut butteris something thats sorted itself out as I go through my steps.

Up until about 6 years ago, I never had peanut butter in the house. It was one of those things I couldnt leave alone.

Nowadays I just love peanut butter but Im not 'seeking' it. I like it as a top-up protein. The UK one I use is called Whole Earth.

its also nice on apple slices

: I really love peanut butter, but the
: store kinds can have a lot of
: sugar/salt that of course makes it
: quite addictive! I have a hard
: time keeping a jar for longer than
: a few days.

: It's really insane, I could eat
: straight out of the jar! But I
: wanted to know - is this a sign my
: body is deficient in some
: nutrient? I'm also wondering if I
: should avoid the peanut
: butter...because recently my
: doctor told me my cholesterol and
: tri-glycerides are too high (it
: runs in my family unfortunately)

: Do I have to cut out peanut butter?
: What would be a good substitute
: for it? I am thinking to have just
: dry, unsalted or un-sweet peanuts
: for things like salads or soups,
: because I notice that if I'm
: eating 'crunchy' things, it takes
: a lot longer to get down than
: something creamy and out of a jar!

: In general I figure nuts are really
: good for Radiant Recovery but we
: should limit them, I guess,
: because of the high calories /
: fat?
: I'm allergic to all other tree-nuts,
: but then again peanuts aren't tree
: nuts so thats why I'm specifically
: asking about this.
