Jiff, Peter Pan, Skippy and all those "creamy" types have, besides the sugar, hydrogenated oils (trans fats) which render the fatty acids useless for health purposes and leaves them only good to be deposited right under the skin which is precisely what we are trying to avoid. Please remember that doing L/C is not just a quick fix for losing weight but a chance to improve our health overall (if done right), so why cheat your body in order to save a little bit? I'm on a very tight budget being a single mom of two teenagers but I don't skimp anymore when it comes to my health, doing that for years got me right where I am today!
