For me "high fat" simply means normal full fat food rather than the reduced/low/lite stuff, and it's only "high" in relation to the low proportion of carbs in my diet.
After all that enthusiasm on LCHF i ended up eating rice for lunch today (not wanting to appear too demanding, just went with rest of family) and OMG my post lunch numbers shot up over 10.5
Back to LCHF... goodness gracious... that was scary

LC will always be beneficial,
That's a great example of what processed refined carbohydrate does, sky rockets the BG, and the pancreas works real hard to try to deal with it and fails. It's incredibly frustrating to see a number like that, I've seen a few over the last 9 days since having some surgery done under a general anesthetic and a general higher trend overall, but things are improving.

Not worth stressing over. It’s done now and lesson learned. Pick up and move on
Depends on brand of peanut butter - whole earth crunchy is 7.4g per 100g.Agree and they are available in the UK too but.... I'm not convinced that grinding stuff up into an unnatural state is as good as eating it as it comes naturally. I think it may allow excessive consumption.. but that's just me. Peanuts anyway aren't nuts but legumes so maybe best avoided..
Edit to add and peanut butter is 12% carbs, hyper palatable and easily eaten with a spoon so measurement is made harder.

Organic one even worse!Depends on brand of peanut butter - whole earth crunchy is 7.4g per 100g.
I know that’s why I didn’t finish the jar that I tried as the flavour wasn’t there either.
Ok if you are happy with palm oil
- Roasted Peanuts (97%), Sustainable Palm Oil, Sea Salt
Not that terrible to eat possibly but even the "sustainable" tag can be quite misleading.. I simply try to avoid things that aren't in their natural state i.e. I'd make my own peanut butter if I wanted it (although to be truthful I've always hated it anyway).Pardon my ignorance but is palm oil that terrible that it needs to be avoided even in small quantities? I thought it was just neutral i.e nothing great but nothing terrible either (other than the unsustainable ways in which it has been grown).

Exactly. Similar to (over)fishing in the “golden” triangle there.That is cool!!! As i live in SE Asia, I realize palm oil is a major revenue for the economies here but the unsustainable practices are quite worrying as they wreck havoc on environment and lives!!
I think that describes my levels of high fat intake i.e. higher than the lower levels I was at for the years where I cut fat out of my diet.
So @Robbity you are saying that you can regulate your weight with your levels of fat intake?
