Description: Written by Holly McCord, the Peanut Butter Diet (2001) is an ingenious blend of populist diet and scientific evidence. After all, any diet which includes regular helpings of peanut butter (one of America's favorite comfort foods) is likely to leave dieters feeling less deprived and more willing to achieve their weight loss goals. The Peanut Butter Diet permits two (tablespoon-size) servings twice a day of peanut butter. Men are allotted six tablespoons of peanut butter a day This diet should be combined with 45 minutes of daily exercise. Don't exceed the recommended peanut butter servings given in the diet. Two tablespoons of peanut butter contain 190 calories and calories still count. Reviews (10):

I feel better Reviewer: Jill       07-10-2004 I feel better and healthy since i started with this PB Diet. I am able to wake up early and get more done during the day. I seem to have alot more energy.

PB twice a day Reviewer: Manny       06-11-2004 This is a diet that works for me since I love peanut butter. I buy the reduced fat PB and spread it on celery or on wheat bread and it makes a great breakfast. For dinner I usually melt peanut butter over white meat chicken or just have a PB sandwhich is just a drop of honey. There are many different recipes out there. If you like PB then this is a perfect diet. I exercise daily and found that i haven't gained any weight in 6 months. Maintaining my weight was priority #1.

This would be a stupid diet... Reviewer: Cheryl       03-31-2004 It would be stupid because peanuts are extremely deficient in one of the amino acids and low in another, and therefore are not a complete protein.

If you want to try this, buy Jif Creamy Reduced Fat Reviewer: Othella       03-31-2004 The only difference I've noticed between Jif Creamy Regular and Jif Creamy Reduced Fat is the reduced fat version is harder to spread. The reduced fat version has about 10 calories less.

It does work. Reviewer: Poppa       03-31-2004 It does work, but you have to stick to the natural peanut butter not the store bought pb with preservatives and other unnatural ingredients. Also, give the diet time, its not one of those overnite miracle diets.

The good ole PB Diet Reviewer: Ms. Smith       03-30-2004 I ate peanut butter three times a day and lost 30 pounds in just 5 weeks. Not only that but i also feel good.

PB Diet Reviewer: Carol       03-27-2004 I bought my dog peanut butter home baked treats and cannot even open the bag without getting a reaction. What was I thinking? Just wanted to get close to peanut butter again. I ate it all my life until I developed sensitivities and some food intolerance in March 2000.

Advice on the PB diet Reviewer: Ruben       03-25-2004 Treat yourself to some pure almond butter with no additives. If you are a peanut butter fan, you'll probably like it as well if not more. It is a good source of protein but also high in fat so a one tablespoon serving or LESS should be adequate. It is great with cheese or stirred in yogurt too. Adding a little to a stir fry thickens it if you don't wish to use flour.

I feel better Reviewer: Drew       03-23-2004 I feel better than I have in years, esp. since going on Ken's "Peanut Butter" diet. I am able to be up and out of bed 4-6 hours and can maybe run 1 errand, but have to be careful because I still catch every virus that comes along.

I tried this diet last year Reviewer: Antonio       03-23-2004 I tried it last year and i am not sure if it works or not because i got very sick of Pb quick. Eating peanut butter on a daily basis would drive anyone insane.
