Today I learned that apparently, having Peanut Butter before Bed can help you burn fat.

WHAT? 

That sounds like the best fact ever!

... Well, not so fast.

First of all, you wouldn't lose 10 pounds overnight without doing anything else to lose weight. It's just not as simple as that, sorry !

A study has conducted though, that the monounsaturated fat in peanuts (and therefore, peanut butter) may improve your metabolism. 

And you metabolism is what controls how many calories you burn throughout the day - even when you're just sitting or sleeping. 

BUT this effect only applies to PEANUTS. 

So regular Peanut Butter like Skippy, which has a lot of added fat and sugar, would be counter productive. 

An organic peanut Butter only made from peanuts would be the only kind that applies to this effect!
