I know I've been talking up my recent discovery of Sunbutter lately, but bear with me while I share my latest use for this peanut butter substitute. I used to be a big fan of Nutella, that chocolate-hazelnut spread that is a European sensation but is now widely available in the U.S. I don't have peanut butter or tree nut products in my house anymore, but I definitely have missed Nutella. I bet some of you do, too.

Create Your Own Food Diary
Want a proven way to lose weight? Start keeping a food diary . A recent study at the Kaiser Permanent Center for Health Research in Portland, Oregon, followed close to 1,700 overweight and obese adults who were encouraged to eat a healthy diet, be physically active and keep a food diary. After six months, people who wrote down everything they ate and drank at least six days a week lost about twice as much weight as those who kept food records one day or less every week.
