Peanut Butter

Then: This sandwich staple has been shunned as high-fat and high-kilojoule.

Now: True, peanut butter contains 16g of fat per two-tablespoon serving, but it’s the heart-healthy, monounsaturated kind. “Peanut butter helps with appetite regulation without you even trying,” says Bazilian. “It’s so nutrient dense that we simply end up consuming fewer kilojoules overall.” A study in the International Journal of Obesity found that people who remained on a diet that included peanut butter lost an average of four kilograms over 18 months.
