Portion control when eating peanut butter

[Guest guest]

All

This is not earthshaking, but a tip on what is working for me to reduce

overconsumption of peanut butter. I was eating commercial peanut butter daily at

3:00pm with carrots. It contained hydrogenated oils, used to soften it and keep

the mass together. A coworker observed that I seemed to shovel it in big

quantities daily. This week I used the machine at Whole Foods where you make

your own peanut butter from dry roasted peanuts. I placed the container in the

refrigerator. Now I find that I can limit the consumption to about two level

tablespoons. The texture is coarser and tends to be harder to swallow. As a

result I don't eat it like pudding and I'm experiencing better portion control.

Cheers,
