So suffice to say, I could probably pick up that PB at a health food store? What about freshly made peanut butter? Where they make it infront of you. Ive seen a few places where they pour in the nuts and out it comes into a container and away you go.

Sure, you could go to a health food store. I buy Smucker's All Natural. I don't know if you have that in Australia.
I love the shake & rice cake, because you get a soft crunch from the cake, and the sweet from the chocolate...the PB sort of evens it all out. :)Comment

Since it is all natural, it has to be refridgerated. When it gets to the store shelves, the oil from the nute -good fats- have settled on the top of the actual peanut butter. Just make sure you give it a good stir before using.
I just didn't want the sight of the separated butter to freak you out. :)Comment

hahaha. And it would have. I would have thrown it out had it looked less than normal. And i would have most certainly have put it in the cupboard, which is where i have always put the normal PB.Originally posted by redsquirrel
I also wondered if one type of fish is better than others? In regards to nutrition and diet benefits. Its easy to go buy a bulk of cheap fish, but if its crap and holds no benefits, then theres no point is there. So do any of you have a fish type that you prefer without me having to google every type of fish on earth and their nutritional values.Comment

I usually only buy salmon (high in omegas), and white fish like tilapia, grouper, bass, or orange roughy. I eat tuna out of the can far more than any fresh fish, lol...
Just watch with shellfish, they're really high in fat.Comment

I absolutely LOVE Rainbow trout....When myhusband dieted for his first show, I got sooo tired of Orange Roughy, so bad I can't hardly eat it anymore. Rainbow Trout doesn't have that fishy taste, it's somewhat flaky, but somewhat firm. It is a tad more expensive than the other fishes like Tilapia (can't stand that either- I call it "dirt fish", cause I think it tastes like potting soil! LOL) Can't really go wrong with shrimp, either.
Salmon is always a good choice, but I wouldn't recommend eating it more than once a week. Although it is high in good fats, it is also high in cals.Comment

Got me some of that Natural PB. :loveheart Im having to keep it in the downstairs fridge in the garage because otherwise i'll be in & out of the fridge every 5 minutes with a spoon. This might sound grose, but tonight I'm gonna take a tablespoon of it & heat it up in a saucepan and toss my chicken & green vegies through it. Thinking I might have to add a few teaspoons of water so it dosnt dry out.Comment

You could add a TBSP or two of peanut oil and go for a thai-style dish!Comment

Best natural and Organic Peanut Butter in the world can be found here.
www.maranathanutbutters.com
They make Almond Butter, Cashew Butter, and others.
This butter is far far better then smuckers or any other commercial brand.
They also carry this brand at select Sams Clubs.Comment

Speaking of eating. I would like to say thank you to everyone who gives insight to us less knowledgable individuals. It's definately changed the way I do things & drummed into my head the ut most importance of what goes into my mouth. Ive never been able to reach any goals as I focused on just the exercise part. Now that ive learnt how to eat properly, I am finally noticing changes happening in the direction I want to go. Losing BF mainly. YAY! And I still learn something new everytime I get on here for a read.Originally posted by redsquirrel
I'll post a pic for a little bit cause I want RS seal of approval that it appears like the diet change has helped. Ive only just started to lift heavy, so I havnt made any muscle gains yet, but the change in diet alone is very very very slowly helping the BF%. Especially around the hips. I also stopped running 2 weeks ago, so hopefully that will see my legs start to grow sometime soon. Still a long way to go though. I'm glad I am a patient person. So thank you to those of you who spend your free time answering complete strangers questions.
By taking those pictures, I noticed I seriously need to be dedicated to a calf routine. So i'm going to start to focus on that aswell. I noticed it a few days ago, and the last few days Ive been in the gym, ive checked out every persons calves. 9/10 didnt have any.Attached FilesComment

YAAAYYY!!!
The change is REALLY noticeable!!! Your midsection looks like it's tightened up A TON, and the legs look leaner as well.
I'm so glad to see the changes, and that you posted the pic to show everyone! It's really quite simple. All it takes is a little discipline to follow any given diet, and changes will come.
Keep up the good work.Comment

Thanks RS :) It really has been purely the diet that has done what its done so far. I cant wait to see what will happen now im lifting heavier. I figured by posting pics for people to see, it will keep me on the straight and narrow. And also show that any advice I ask for, is not a waste of anyones time replying.Originally posted by redsquirrelComment
