This may come as a surprise, but medical research has found that adding peanut butter to your breakfast can help diminish cravings for up to 12 hours. That’s because it contains high levels of a hormone peptide identified as “YY.” A strange name for sure, but the important thing is that it helps you feel full after you are done eating. Peanut butter is another one you don’t want to overdo, so keep it under two tablespoons of peanut better for best results.
