Holly McCord wrote "The Peanut Butter Diet" book. It is a fad diet and an average low-calorie diet, containing some peanut butter in the recipes and meal plans. Like all fats, peanut butter is higher in calories (9 calories per gram), and it needs to be eaten in moderation. There is no reason why nuts should be completely removed from a weight loss diet.
There are different qualities of peanut butter available in the market. Some contain sugar and salt. The general rule here: the more processed a food is, the lower the nutritional quality. Natural peanut butter, with few additives, is the best choice. Healthy fats have a place in our diet, but within moderation.
