Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I seriously doubt that 5 tablespoons of peanut butter could cause you to gain 3 pounds. I'd say it was probably water weight. JMO though.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I am on day 9 of Phase I and have a question about cheating. I went to have some celery with peanut butter yesterday and completely lost control. I must have had about 5 tablespoons. I just could not stop myself. I must have been craving salt. Anyway, up to that point I had lost 5 lbs, and then I got up this am and I had gained 3 back. Does this sound normal from one cheating incident, or did I lose control really badly?? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Well, unless your peanut butter is super high in calories, most likely any " gain " is due to retaining water from the salt in the PB. A pound is 3500 hundred calories... three pounds would be 10,500 calories. Just drink a couple of extra glasses of water to get rid of the bloat and you should be okay. > Cheating question > > > I am on day 9 of Phase I and have a question about cheating.
