The All Natural PEANUT BUTTER DIET! by Mr.X

Hi Everyone:

I want to present to you a concept that has been implemented by me in the past w/ a few of my clients that had an issue w/ dieting. As you can see by the title of the thread, this small article will talk about a diet that is mainly consistent of All Natural Peanut Butter (ANPB), and I don’t know many people that don’t like ANPB. Let me just make it clear, this diet WILL ONLY WORK WITH ALL NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER.

Let’s look at the breakdown of the diet; don’t worry, I’ll make it simple:

NOTE:
These are the supplements and foods that will be needed on this diet…
Multi Vitamins/Minerals (generic versions are fine)
Vitamin C, E, A, D
Calcium
4 Jars ANPB (local grocery store)
3-5lbs. of whey protein (www.proteinfactory.com get non flavored or a flavored w/ minimal carbs).
1 tbsp. measuring spoon


(1) Figure out your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), this number will usually be weight x 12 for most people. For example, if I’m 200lbs., my BMR= 2400 (200*12).

(2) Take your BMR number and multiply it by 0.95, this will allow for a 5% deficit from your BMR (.95=95%, which is 100-5). For the 200lbs. example, the BMR is 2400*.95= 2280 calories, this will be your daily caloric intake. This number will be called DBMR (dieting BMR).

(3) Look at your ANPB jar: 2tbsp. of ANPB = 200cal., 16g fat, 5g carbs (7-2fiber), 7g protein. Now, take your DBMR and multiply it by 0.75, this will give you’re your PBMR. In our example of 2280 calories, this would be 2280 (DBMR) * 0.75 = 1710 calories = PBMR.

(4) Take your PBMR number and divide it by 200, now take the number you get and multiply it by 2. In our example, 1710/200=8.55; 8.55*2= 17.1 (round down). Thus, we have 17. This number is the number of ANPB spoons you’ll have a day; thus, in our case we can have 17tbsp. of ANPB.

(5) Take your DBMR – PBMR = RBMR, take RMBR and divide it by 4, this will give you the amount of protein (grams) you take in per day. In our case, 2280 – 1710 = 570; 570/4 = 142.5 (round up) = 143 g protein per day.

Therefore, in our example, this 200lbs. person would be eating 17tbsp. of ANPB per day and 143g protein (whey protein) per day. If he was to have 6 meals, this would be about 2.8 tbsp. of peanut butter per meal w/ 23g protein per meal. If you were to use your ratios, this would be done by taking your number of tbsp. per day divide by 6 and take your protein intake per day and do the same. This will vary depending on the amount of meals you have.

For our example, this individual would be taking in:
2280 cal per day – 72 fiber cal = 2208 calories total
136g fat per day, 1224 calories (55%)
203 g protein per day, 812 calories (37%)
43 g carbs per day, 172 calories (8%)

So, with this easy to follow diet you’ll get some amazing ratios: 55%fat/37%protein/8%carbs.

Enjoy! This is just a sample of what’s going to be in my new book! :)

It's a diet in itself, not on top of normal calories. This is more of a cutting diet.

Mr.X
 
Something I didn't make too clear in the write up:

Take 2-3 tabs of Multi vit/min, 500mg Vit C per day, 2 caps Vit E and 1 tab of the vit A/D combo. For the calcium, 500mg per day.

Mr.X
 
Damn, I'm glad I took math in college :)

Interesting read...

I wonder what the outcome would be with almond butter...

Sounds fine!

Only question is if I will be able to survive on this diet without cravings. Currently, I eat about 5 meals a day of 300 cals each, with about 150-300 cals total per day taken between meals (no sugar yugurts etc..). so total 1500-1800 cals a day.

However, I'm taking the calories in things that makes you full and that takes time to eat. Things like: salad with almost no dressing and about 100g chicken breast for example. That keeps me 'full' feeling and satisfied my appetite.

I think it would be extremely hard to satisify ones appetite with 1.5 tbls peanut butter and 20g protein. Moreso, during dieting, is the only time that I never drink protein shakes, because I feel they are very caloric but do not satisfy me. For me, a 100g of chicken breast with 2g of fat and 23g of protein and 2g of carbs does the job better for my stomach and emotional feelings.

But it's interesting indeed..
 
smucker's all natty pb is my cutting staple

good read mr-x, people laugh at me when i eat natty out of the jar when i cut. i have the last laugh cause it works every time
 
son-ov-a-bitch! i was just going to make a post pertaining to this.

last weekend when i was out of town i took a X-large jar of PB with me. that's damn near all i eat for 3 days. my girlfriend said "something is wrong with you eating only PB all day."

well i lost 1.5 pounds of fat.

The ANPB should cut most of your cravings, so you would survive fine.

Sounds awesome. I'll probably give it a go in two weeks.

What's the expected fat/muscle loss on this?

You're getting enough protein, so muscle loss should be non-existant. Fat loss should be close to CKD, since it's about 50% fat.

PB & 2 cans of tuna/per day......i ready go.

is it my imagination or does X-tra chunky PB take longer too digest?

So, with this easy to follow diet you’ll get some amazing ratios: 55%fat/37%protein/8%fat.

(I think you meant 8% carb) :)

cool diet though, ALPB rules!
 
jaymis said:
MR.X-- if you followed these ratios with any food would you most likely get the same results.
Click to expand...

Yes, but using PB and whey makes this extremely easy to follow and stick to.

What would be the running time for this? I'm thinking a week at a time, or maybe even something like 7 days on / 1 day refeed (since you are getting 8% carbs, the refeed doesn't need to come as often as needed), and 3 weeks max (staying on in total).

i am assuming this is not a long term diet solution as by just eating those two thing you're going to be missing something, dont u think veggies should be incorporated on this diet?

The vitamins/minerals, fiber, and healthy fats should allow for a longer term solution than you think. It can go on for 12 weeks, I've seen it done longer :)

Probably not; fiber count is about the same w/ all the ANPB.

Yes, but who can beat a diet that's full of peanut butter, can't think of one diet I'd rather do :).

Today I found some really cheap all-natural peanut butter. If anyone has a Trader Joes store near them then this is the place to get it, at least $1.50 cheaper than the major grocery stores around here for the same amount.

This is a diet I will look into since I live in a dorm and food/food preparation is just a pain in the ass.

When will your book be available to the public Mr.X?

Would it mess up the diet if I threw in a small/medium sized leafy green salad once or twice a day? Gotta keep things moving ya know.

i'm pretty sure it won't hurt since there's very few carbs. but PB has about 1g of fiber/tbsp, so you're still getting in a decent amount of fiber.

You could, but I dont' see the point, for ANPB has a lot of fiber, you end up w/ at least 20g fiber per day or more.

As far as supplementation goes:

I would (will) definitely throw in Thermorexin for general metabolism increase, and a low dose of ephedrine HCL to help with workouts (otherwise, low carbs = low energy).

Try doing some Ephedrine/5HTP/l-tyrosine/Vit Bcomplex/caffeine, the combo will work great.

ok i got some questions mr x

THIS peanut butter diet of yours seems really easy but i got a few questions. Ok first of all i plugged in 300 pounds to the program and it comes up and says to consume 27 teaspoons of peanut butter a day. Ok thats easy enough, but where it says an additional 214 grams of protein, it that where the protein shakes come in. Then on the refeed day im assuming you eat regular food. Thanks alot for you help bro. I think im gonna give this a go

Then on the refeed day im assuming you eat regular food. correct

Refeeds & Pre/Post workout meal on ANPB diet

I'm on the first day of your PB Diet and so far so good. I eat about 17g of anpb every 2 hours along with a small protein only shake.

What should I eat pre-workout? I usually eat a 300cals protein bar which is very tasty for me (keeps me sane). it contains 30g protein, 7g fat and 29g carbs(11g sugrars).

Post-workout during cutting I just immediately eat a protein drink (45g protein isolate, 0g carbs, 0g fat). And after about 90min I would either have a protein shake by itself or may pop r-ALA and have some carbs (usually just about 20g of carbs). I prefer not to use Carbs post workout shake in order for not to stop the lipolisys by raising insulin levels.

Refeeds Is once a week too much? Do you suggest upping the cals on this day, by say 500 ? Would you include complex carb only?

Thanks

Thanks for the article Mr.X! I only spend about $20 a week for food because of budget constraints so this diet is great, and I love natural peanut butter too.

Would this diet be a good option for bulking by increasing the amount of peanut butter and maybe adding some other foods (perhaps oats for more carbs in addition to protein powder)?

Also, if supplemented properly with vitamins and such, are there any reasons why a peanut butter diet is not a good longer term solution (36+ weeks), aside from tiring of the taste?

you can combine two meals of ANPB+protein for the preworkout, but you'd have to skip one before, or you can just stick to the same meals as usual

Post-workout during cutting I just immediately eat a protein drink (45g protein isolate, 0g carbs, 0g fat). And after about 90min I would either have a protein shake by itself or may pop r-ALA and have some carbs (usually just about 20g of carbs).

that should not be a problem; this diet has very little carbs and ANPB is not considered a carb-related food, should be a problem

Refeeds Is once a week too much? noDo you suggest upping the cals on this day, by say 500 ? if calories are an issue for you, you can go weight x 12 +10% of bmrWould you include complex carb only? 2-3meals high-gi, 2-3meals lowgi

I wouldn't use this for bulking, period

no real reason; if you supplement properly you should be able to do it long-term, but you will have peanuts, peanut butter and anything related when you're done

This is going to get expensive, fast :p. According to my calculations I'm going to need like 3lbs of protein a WEEK for this thing lol. Is Micro Ultra Whey Isolate ok to use? 6.50/lb...daaaaaaaaayum ;)
 
Wow, this is the Holy Grail of cutting diets. CKD is too elaborate for me, this I can deal with when I'm done bulking. Oh yea, is it ok to run additional supps like T-rex/L-rex and similar during this diet or would that be too much?
 
Man, I hope Protein Factory gets my order out in less than the advertised 3-5 days...it would be nice to see it sitting on my door on Saturday when I get back from the holidays.

I hated to do it, but I had to go with 5lbs of Whey Protein Concentrate. My money is really tight right now. I'm going to try and counter the 2G's of carbs with R-ala when I combine a shake with ANPB. All I could find at the store was Smuckers. I hope this stuff really is good because from the looks, I kind of have my doubts ;)

I'm planning on starting this the second the protein comes. Also - should I plan a carb up on day's 7,14,21,28, etc. or just stick to it?

I'll report.
 
Smuckers Natural Chunky is a great choice.

I wouldn't bother using r-ALA for the 2 grams of carbs you get from the whey concentrate.

If you're below ~12%, you can carb up every week.
 
Do you level the tablespoon of peanut butter?

About to give this diet a run!

Gonna buy like 20 lbs of Syntrax Nectar.

Cant wait to start.

You can do a refeed every 7-10 days depending on your bodycomposition. Two things: refeed and glycogen supercompensation. You can either stick to 1 day (refeed) or 2 day (glyc supercomp).

Yes, level it; otherwise, you can get 1/2 more tbsp. if it's over the top.

Diet looks great Mr. X. Seems to be perfect for those of us that have a VERY hectic schedule. Can't wait to try it starting Jan 1. Great way to start off the new year.

ps- I can't wait to see the faces on my co-workers when they see me toting around a jar of ANPB!!
 
I recently told my G/F that I was going to start this diet soon and that unfortunately for her she would be on her own for her meals. I guess she didn't like this idea and said she'd be interested in trying it also.

She is diabetic (controlled using a small amount of prescription meds and a low-carb intake). When I met her about 9 months ago her sugars were OUT OF CONTROL (in the 400's daily - sometimes over 500). I introduced her to the low carb way of eating and sure enough her sugars plummeted back into the safe range within a couple of weeks. Only occasionally does she slip up and her sugars go up.

I'm assuming that because it is low-carb diet that this diet would be safe for a diabetic. Is there any reason to believe otherwise? I know that for diabetics there sometimes concern about protein intake and the effect on the kidneys. But she's been doing really good on atkins so far (no negative side affects in her tests) and she's feeling much better. Unfortunately her doctor advised her AGAINST doing atkins even though it was and still is working for her. So I'm sure talking to her doctor about the ANPB diet would be useless.

I think the best part is when you are eating your ANPB in front of those salad eating folks that think fat will kill them. :)

Many doctors worry about dietbetics using Ketogenic diets due to the possibility of ketoacidosis (low PH of blood), which can be deadly. However, this condition has been prominent w/ type 1 diabetic petients and not type 2 (your g/f is most likely type 2 if she wasn't born w/ diabetes).

Although I would like to say this diet is for her, I suggest against it if her doctor disapproves of the nutritional intake. Please get a 2nd opinion w/ an open-minded doctor that has fitness experience. As much as I know it will work, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Mr.X
 
She is indeed type 2. She became diabetic while pregnant with her daughter and it never went away after.

I'm going to encourage her to give it a try and have her blood monitored for changes that could indicate problems. THAT much at least her doctor will do for her. Her doctor didn't say don't do Atkins. But she knew we were doing it and just said she advised against it but that we'll just have to monitor bloodwork. So I think it will work out. Thanks Mr.X.

I'm about 24% bf <---bangs head against wall.

I'm thinking about sticking to this until Christmas (holiday food is a hell of a cheat day) then seeing where I stand. After that I'm thinking of moving back to a traditional CKD, or just sticking with this depending on how it goes. So far, half way through day 1, I like it lol.

I'd like to get on down to about 15% on this diet (which I think would be around 190. So I have a long way to go.

At 24% you can get away w/ carbing up every 10-14 days.

Mr.X
 
Awesome, I guess I'll plan for the first one on day 12 since thats a happy medium. This is definately a different pace, but I'm thinking I'll get used to it. I opened the freezer and saw some chicken and about spooged :p
 
I think ima try this diet out for a week and see how i feel then maybe stick with it for a longer term after the holidays.

my only question was can you do your normal workouts and some low intensitiy cardio by walking on the treadmill.

do you just space out the vitamins throughout the day or are there better times to take the different ones?

Theoretically, you could, BUT it would be TOO hard to compare ratios and you'd end up eating a LOT of peanuts all day. I suggest sticking to the butter texture. However, if you really want to try the peanuts I can work it out for you.

is it possible to take ANPB to like class or work if there isn't a refrigerator. I'm not sure if all natural has to be kept refrigerated. I guess otherwise just have a little cooler with an ice pack.

I have the choice of either 10,000 A/ 400 D or 25,000 A/ 1000 D
 
mr.x,

a few questions:

this is basically set up as a cdk diet, right? what about doing it as a tdk? i'm just concerned about the lack of carbs, particularly post workout. if it would work to add in some carbs postworkout on training days, what would you suggest?

also, when adjust it to 90% ANPB, 10% Flax, does it matter if the flax is taken at once, or should it be spread over a few meals?

and lastly, any problem with alternating between a casein/whey/egg blend and whey isolate to get some slower digesting proteins and get a more complete overall aa profile?

5000IU A/400IU D is fine, but the first choice you listed is also good (10K/400).

Mr.X

what about doing it as a tdk?it's a good diet
i'm just concerned about the lack of carbs, particularly post workout. if it would work to add in some carbs postworkout on training days, what would you suggest?not w/ the ANPB; if you do add the carbs you need to subtract the calories from your fat intake

also, when adjust it to 90% ANPB, 10% Flax, does it matter if the flax is taken at once, or should it be spread over a few meals?can be taken all at once- does not really matter much

and lastly, any problem with alternating between a casein/whey/egg blend and whey isolate to get some slower digesting proteins and get a more complete overall aa profile? whey has a complete amino acid profile - but you can alternate proteins, although I suggest against it since you'll be eating at a frequent rate

will a multi vitamin such as centrum do or do i need to buy sperate vitamins for a,e,c,d and calcium?

KWKSLVR said:
How does the added protein benefit or hinder one's fat loss or muscle gains compared to a traditional CKD?
Click to expand...

The added protein will most likely keep you out of ketosis for prolonged periods of time (protein to glucose conversion about 58%). However, the added benefit of the protein is potential muscle sparing for a time and positive nitrogen balance at least for 3-4weeks.

How much would the results be altered if you used regular peanut butter instead of all natural peanut butter? I enjoy the taste so much better and the carbs/ protein didn't seem to be that much different?
 
Less fat and protein with "regular" peanut butter. Not to mention that the more processing you can cut out, the better. Thats a LOT of peanut butter lol.

All Peanut Butters Healthy
Processed or Fresh, Peanut Butter Is Good Food

Oct. 3, 2003 -- Store-bought peanut butter is as good for you as the fresh-ground-in-the-health-food-store variety, a study shows.

That any kind of peanut butter is healthy seems too good to be true. But the lowly peanut is packed full of healthy oils and vitamin E.

Wait a minute. Doesn't processing raw peanuts into commercial peanut butter remove those healthy vitamins? No, find University of Georgia researcher Ron Eitenmiller, PhD, and colleagues. They measured vitamin E in raw peanuts, roasted peanuts, and commercial peanut butter.

The bottom line: Processing removes no more than 5% of total vitamin E from the product.

"We'd run so many studies on peanuts and peanut butters in the past, we had our suspicions that vitamin E content would remain high in the finished product," Eitenmiller says in a news release.

It's true that exposure to air erodes the vitamin E content of peanut butter. But Eitenmiller says that the commercial product's oil base and container protect against oxygen.

The findings appear in the September issue of the Journal of Food Sciences.

2 Tablespoons -- Not the Whole Jar

It's not just the vitamin E that makes peanut butter wholesome, says Leslie Bonci (pronounced BAWN-see), MPH, RD, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

"There are some terrific health benefits to it, not just taste benefits," Bonci tells WebMD. "People get hung up on the fact that peanut butter has fat in it, but it is not as bad as other kinds of fat."

Bonci says the new findings confirm what she already knows: Grocery-store peanut butter is nutritionally the same as peanut butter freshly ground in a health-food store.

Which one should you pick? Let your personal taste be your guide, Bonci says.

"Fresh ground is not necessarily better," Bonci says. "The fat and calorie content are pretty much the same whether you grind your own or buy commercial peanut butter. The monounsaturated fat is still there."

But please remember this: Nothing is healthy unless portions are kept under control. Too much of a good thing is too much.

"The serving size is two tablespoons -- not the whole jar," Bonci warns.

Re: Opinion of this article?

it's not a matter of vitamin E content.

the difference lies in the type of fats and carbs.

natural peanut butter is mostly monounsaturated fat (47%), with some polyunsaturated (omega-6 - 29%) and saturated fat (18%).
these percentages are the composition in the oil.

http://www.curezone.com/foods/fatspercent.asp

commercial peanut butters (like jif and skippy) add hydrogenated fats to give it the smooth texture and prevent oil separation. they also have a little more sugar than natural PB. therefore, you end up with less of the healthy fats and instead get to eat hydrogenated fats.

and even if there is still the same amount of monounsaturated fat in both, commercial PB has hydrogenated fat which natty PB doesn't. so for the brainchild that wrote this to say that these are nutritionally the same shows he doesn't know jack shit. yes, they may be calorically approximately the same, but nutritionally they are very different.

why are so many scientisit/doctors so damn retarded in regards to nutrition.

I can't tell you "how much" but there would be a difference. All depending on your other aspects of the diet. Overall, the diet is NOT for regular peanut butter.

benevolent anarchist:

Vitamin E has nothing to do w/ why All natural is chosen, the article is scewed for ppl to believe otherwise - for folks that don't know the difference btwn all natural and regular this makes sense. However, to us educated dieters, we know that HYDROGENATED oils that are aftificially added to the peanut butter (regular) are what cause the raise in LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and prevent fat loss.
