Quotes to ponder:

"Peanut butter works to help you lose weight in two ways: by helping control your appetite and by suppressing blood sugar."

"Eating tree nuts or peanut products prior to eating a meal or as a snack does contribute to a feeling of fullness."

"Eating peanut butter is a way of consuming fats as well as protein and fiber without sending your blood sugar levels into a tailspin."
