~Peanut butter provides protection against cardiovascular disease due to high levels of mono unsaturated fat and resveratrol.
~It is an excellent source of proteins, vitamins B3, E, magnesium, folate, dietary fiber and arginine.
~Peanuts have high concentration of antioxidant (P-coumaric acid) which will help in detoxifying of toxin ingredients.
~Though peanut butter may not suite most of us but studies have proved that by providing a small content of peanut butter or peanuts in diet can help you adapt and will help you resist small amounts of it.
~Peanut butter gives a feeling of satisfaction and craves hunger
~Peanut butter can actually curb your appetite and prevent us from over eating. In the international journal of obesity (published in Purdue university) an article showed that people who snacked on peanut butter could self adjust their caloric intake spontaneously and did not add extra pounds (calories) to their daily diet.

The main reason how peanut butter can help you loose extra pounds is that it r helps in controlling hunger. Peanuts have a low GI (glycaemic index) of about 14 which helps you decompose peanuts slowly to produce a rise and fall in blood glucose.
Slow release of glucose into blood helps you maintain energy levels in your body for a longer time to give a feeling of fullness and satisfaction.

I just ate peanuts before I read this thread, that sounds cool!

I eat a couple tbsp of peanut butter twice a day. It takes the edge off when you're hungry and don't have time to eat.

Just for the record, the one week I went to my weigh-in and had gained weight was the week I was using PB as a snack. No more.

I use it when I am trying to get fit. Mainly on crumpets, but not too much.

It's pretty good for you in small bits, like most things!
