Snacking on natural peanut butter

I've been doing a little of this myself and it seems to be hurting my fat loss.I'm on a CKD and on Sunday after my Friday night/Saturday carb up had a few little fingerfulls of ANPB. I usually go into ketosis pretty fast, but this week I don't think I'm in ketosis at all. I don't use ketostix, I can just tell... or at least I could. This is my fifth week and I might just be adapting well, but I don't feel like I'm in ketosis and the only thing I've done differently is sneak a little ANPB on Sunday.
Just my two cents.

Almond butter would be a better choice. Or better yet just snack on whole, unflavored almonds.
Watch your saturated fat, especially while on cycle since both can have a negative effect on HDL and LDL levles. When I ran keto I saw my cholesterol levels sky rocket within 4 months! For cutting too much fat can be bad, it all depends on what the rest of your diet looks like.
Depends on what you're taking. Though, not all AAS jack up one's lipids, that's a good point to mention.
Also, dietary effect on lipids, exogenous hormones notwithstanding, is more determined by hereditary processes than by the food itself. Almonds are a great choice because they have only 1 gram of saturated fat for every 14 grams of total fat. The other 13 is polyunsaturated fat which happens to be extremely good for the liver.
And while I'm talking about lipids, anyone concerned about it should run nicotinic acid. That's conventional niacin. It's very effective at lowering triglycerides, safer than statins, and FAR cheaper. The flushing effect does wear off if you take it daily.
