I know I know, I told you I wouldn't get into what you can or cannot eat or what's healthy and what's not. That being said, I just want to relay these little anecdotes to you anyway and I think you're going to like them.
A couple weeks ago someone sent me an article about margarine. I haven't researched it or verified it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. The article claimed that margarine shares a lot of the same properties as plastic. It also asked the reader to do an experiment. It said place a tub of margarine out in your garage for a, I can't remember the time frame, maybe a week? Anyway, it said after the week go check on it and you'll be amazed at what you find. Supposedly the margarine won't melt, won't be moldy, and won't have any insects on it. Yeah, bugs won't eat the stuff. That article kind of stuck in my brain. And my wife added that she read an article once that stated women who ate margarine got more wrinkles in their skin than women who didn't.
So you say, "Melting Man, why you telling me this"? I'll get to the point. The thing that I don't like about some butter substitutes is hydrogenated oils. I know what you're thinking, "there he goes again". It would seem so, but you would be wrong. When my wife and I eat things with hydrogenated oils, we don't feel very good afterwards. And the whole point of my weight management blog is for people to feel good or feel even better if they already felt good.
So I say this to you, why have butter substitute when you can have real butter? Butter tastes so much better. Now that you know how many calories butter has, you know how much of it you can eat and still make your calorie limit.
That's right, I use real butter not a substitute. It satisfies and I don't feel deprived. That's why I've always said, don't deny yourself, you can eat anything you want. I knew you would like this post.
