Overweight people thought peanut butter was taboo but studies now say that you don’t just lose weight on the diet, but you stick with the diet better, because peanut butter is tastier and more satisfying, compared to other low-fat, high-carb diets.
Peanut butter is your new slimming friend, a claim supported by two recent studies, one from Harvard University, the other from Penn State. Researchers found that a diet that includes foods with high levels of monounsaturated fats like peanut butter can help people lose weight and prevent heart disease.
Like other weight-loss programs, a peanut butter diet should be done in conjunction with exercise.
The peanut butter smoothie recipe we suggest is rich in proteins so it will build muscles and burn fat as long as you do some physical activities, such as riding a bike, walking, jogging etc.
And dieters are warned to resist the temptation of eating it in large quantities and avoid over-indulging. You simply need to know when it is enough.
This smoothie recipe includes oats and banana, ingredients rich in fiber to keep you full throughout the day and reduce calorie intake. Cinnamon as an ingredient is necessary to control your blood sugar level and curb sugar cravings.
