I personally have a love-hate relationship with peanut butter.
I love how it tastes and I love the smell. The texture of it is simply amazing and I even like the way it sticks to the roof of my mouth before it melts.
On the other hand, I really, really hate how my satiety signals just don’t seem to respond to peanut butter in the same way as with other foods.
Usually when I eat food, I only have to eat a “reasonable” amount for some subconscious signal to tell me “hey, you’ve had enough!”
But peanut butter doesn’t seem to respect these boundaries.
If I ever happen to indulge even a little bit, I usually end up eating an entire jar… and still have a lingering feeling of wanting just a little bit more.
Peanuts aren't technically nuts, they're legumes.
