losing weight


Question Posted Sunday September 30 2007, 8:31 pm

I heard if you eat 4-6 tablespoons of peanutbutter a day, you'll lose weight and won't be hungry.


Is this true?
and if it is, and I try it, do you think it'd be ok to have a snack every once in a while and drink alot of water, and exercise.
yeah I'm trying to lose weight.
So does this sounds ok?

Are you saying eat ONLY peanut butter?
No

Eat that amount of peanut butter to healthy meal?
Maybe

Eat that amount of peanut butter with your regular routine?
No

Seriously, where are people getting all these myths and "100% guaranteed" tricks on losing weight?

Let me tell you now that if you plan to lose weight eating only peanut butter, water, and a little snack + exercise, you are:
1. Malnutrition yourself
2. Starve yourself
3. Make your body go in shut down mode
4. Damage your body

Okay, let me start with this: Do you know what all those Atkins diet and all those crap don't work? Because your body goes back to its original state BEFORE the diet, thus gaining a lot of, if not more, of the weight lost during the diet. If you plan to survive on peanut butter for the rest of your life, you're lying to yourself.

This is cliche but oh so true: the ONLY way of losing weight SAFELY is to adapt to a healthy lifestyle, which means regular exercise and healthy eating habits. Exercising and eating healthy only to lose weight is NOT a diet. It's a lifestyle you adapt to as you do so losing weight. Like right now, I'm so used to not eating junk food and stuff. I just eat some cucumbers and low-fat thousand island dressing for a healthy snack. Junk food makes me feel really bad and nauseous sometimes nowadays.

And just in case you were looking towards the diet pill sections (which I know you won't *cough cough*)

Those are a lot of links and you might not want to check them all out. But you really should if you really want to lose that weight. So, to answer your questions:

No
No
I figured
NO

Good luck and please tell whoever you heard this myth from to recheck her sources. It is not at all a healthy or effective way to lose weight. I'm sure you don't want to live your entire life eating only peanut butter. And a few snacks. And water.

If you need more advice, a more effective way to contact me would probably be through my e-mail (xchoke_on_dead_hopex@yahoo.com)

Good luck!
