I can only speak for myself...but I do go on the occasional peanut butter kick. I can go for WEEKS without having any, but usually the week before TOM is when I lay into the jar. I don't eat more than a few tablespoons per day, but it just really calms down those munchies. I think because I drink SO much water while having a spoon of it. It doesn't cause me a problem, but most things don't. That's the dangerous thing. It's hard to be armed with the knowledge that I can eat totally rotten things for a LC lifestyle if I want with no real impact on weight... not that PB is the worst...but you know what I mean. I have to make that decision every time NOT to have things even when I know that I can have them without an issue.
