I eat NATURAL peanut butter and here is why. Atkins says that hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated (these are in regular peanut butters) will STOP ketosis because the body does not know what to do with these types of fats. It will KNOCK you right the heck out of ketosis so I suggest eating only the NATURAL stuff that has to be refrigerated once opening. I sometims add a packet or two to the jar for flavor and fun. I get my natural PB at my local food store - it is their store brand.

I would be a spoon in the jar type if I let myself but I tell myself 1 TBLSPN and that is ALL, as I want to lose weight on this program.

As a nice treat, put some natural PB on a PURE DELITE DARK CHOCOLATE BAR - the best Reese's you'll ever have!!!

I buy nutbutters (almond, peanut, cashew) in the bulk bins at Wholefoods or our other health food stores. That way I can have some of each without breaking the bank.

I LOVE IT!! But, alas, like most of y'all, I can get outta control if I have too much around (another reason to buy smaller quantities in bulk!).

I bought it at a local Harvest Health Food Store.

I don't know if it qualify's as "free food". But it looks like it might.
Good luck!

Hi Peterpan,

Thanks for the info, and good luck to you too! You have wonderful tastes in names!!

Take care,

I live in Houston and we have a store called Central Market...you can get organic pb and almond butter..i think they might have cashew butter. How do you make your own pb? is it hard?? I would ike to give it a try.

Do you know ? Everytime I read this post, I jump up , grab a spoon and attack the peanut butter.

Anybody who loves peanut butter might want to try soynut butter,. I just bought some unsweetened (haven't tried it yet) to which I will add a little stevia. It has only 1 net carb per serving.
