How I Dropped 15% Body Fat in 6 Months: 6 Tips from My Nutritionist. A single 45-minute workout followed by a whole day of sitting can lower your meta

Let’s be real—fitness books tend to either push ridiculous fad diets or get so bogged down in science that only someone with a PhD could understand. If you're anything like me, you’ve probably jumped on every diet trend, only to feel frustrated and blame yourself when nothing sticks.

It wasn’t until I met with a nutritionist that I realized something important: weight loss isn’t a quick fix, it's a long game. I just needed simple, practical steps to cut body fat—minus all the fluff.

I’m seeing conflicting info on peanut butter having high trans fats? Seems like that might be incorrect?
- Peanuts don't naturally have trans fats, but some manufacturers use hydrogenated vegetable oil in their recipe. Hydrogenated vegetable oil is the primary source of trans fats in most foods, but most brands use small enough amounts that it can still be labeled as zero trans fats per serving. So, yes there might be some trans fats in your PB, but probably not enough to be concerned with. If you are concerned, check the labels and find a brand without hydrogenated vegetable oil.
  On the other hand, popular brands can be high in sugar. A teaspoon of peanut butter with some carrots or apples is fine. A tablespoon between two slices of white bread with jelly is not a dieter's friend.
  
  Thanks for the detailed reply. Very interesting. I only get the 100% roasted whole peanut versions with no additives, so that’s sounding ok (in moderation).
  Coincidentally I only stumbled on apples with a little PB recently & it’s become my new favourite snack, & has been a good way to make me want to eat apples more frequently.
  PB & carrots sounds a bit wrong, but I can kind of see how it might work. will certainly be giving that a go soon, nice one!
  
  Curious as to why trans fat is the devil - I have poked around a bit and couldn't quite pin down why 1g in my PB was worth totally avoiding, especially when PB was recommended as a 'filling' snack to help me sleep (I struggle to sleep if im at all hungry) I put it in the 'probably not a massive deal' bucket but interested from this thread if i should do a bit better to avoid.
