Intervention needed....butter!!!

Hi Bekah,

Like the other posts said try I can't believe it's not butter spray.  I have been using it for years even before my surgery.  It tastes good and has no calories and fat.  I cook with it and everything.  If butter is really a problem, I advise you too try it.  Good-Luck!!!!

Even with substitutes there are calories to be counted.

Yeah - I was using the Land-O-Lakes Light spreadable butter at 50 cals per Tbsp.  I've never really cared for the taste of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter but I think I'll have to try the spray for those times when I just gotta have it...

Olive oil in a spray/spritzer bottle...I rarely use butter anymore, but yes I love love love it and do have to keep it at bay or i could easily do the same as you...I did!  last winter it helped me get bread down with nooooo trouble!  LOL I had to quit both! Slipery slope bread and butter!   But now I use olive oil for nearly everything...bread moderately! 

For butter I have been using yogurt butter....http://www.brummelandbrown.com/
Good stuff!  tastes closest to butter with half the fat!

STEP AWAY FROM THE BUTTER!

But on a serious note, doesn't it slide right throu you? hehehehe I crack myself up

LOL!  You're right...I'm probably not absorbing most of it, but it just grossed me out (and scared me!) that half my calories were butter!

I actually like the Parkay brand of "butter" spray a little better than I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray.  But either is good.  Not like slathering real butter on, but . . . pretty decent.

How about some nice berries or cut up banana in your oatmeal or with your cottage cheese pancakes to change it up a bit and make it sweet without added any fat?

You have come too far to let something like a tub of butter have that much power over you!

Good Luck!

You're right...that's why I know I need to toss the butter for now.  I am in control and I will NOT let butter control me!

 Okay, my thing is use it somewhat sparingly in cooking and such.  I never slather it on bread or anything.  There is a substitution... cream cheese.  At least you have a bit higher protein especially if you use the low fat.
