Cheat days stall people; it's best to stay clean and fight the craving.

I have the same problem with peanut butter and I've been struggling with it too. There is a certain time of day, 4pm, that I crave it and sometimes I give in. I'm on pre-maintenance and am allowed 2 T. but I can't stop at that. I don't know why that stuff has such a hold on me but I have to stay away from it. Sometimes I go for a short walk or just get out of the kitchen if I can. I think part of the problem is that it is so filling while most snacks aren't. Whatever the problem, it's tough to resist. All we can do is strenghten our resolve and bite the bullet, as opposed to the butter!

When ever I get some craving I just focus on what it is gonna do to me.Grab your atkins book & read,get your mind off of it...

I just eat it.

Doesn't slow my weight loss really. If it does, it is little enough to not be noticeable. I eat celery with 1 tbsp peanut butter every other day.

Better to give in to tiny little things like that, than build frusteration that leads to a total breaking point of failure.

Uhm. Cheat days are not Atkins. Peanut butter is not allowed on induction...

Why not just eat something else? When you move up the rungs, you'll be able to eat peanut butter. It's not forever, just a couple weeks. When people give it to cravings like that, they usually continue to have them. If you hold out and get control of it, you usually stop having the cravings. Biting butter would actually be better than biting the peanut butter during induction!

I used to eat a lot of peanut butter. Lots. I'd mix in both whole and ground flax seed and cashews. It almost was like a fudge.

Sorry, I got carried away there in my fond reminiscence.

You'll get over those cravings sometime. I did.

I now eat, seldom if ever, almond butter. Little bites.
