    There are health-ier bisuits/cookies out there... of course, I guess it depends on what you like. I love multi-grain/whole grain type foods... thank goodness they can be good (not-so-bad?) for you, too! Nabisco has "Fruit Thins" cookies... uh biscuits... in several flavors. I guess I don't know if they sell them outside the US or what they would be called. But, they give me my sweet fix, they're only 140 calories for 3 , 5g Fat, 1g Sat Fat, and 7g sugar. For three, that's not really bad. I can eat only one or two and be good with it.

    Good luck!!

    Hey Pete

    I may not eat bisquits but for years I've lived by the idea that if it sat still long enough it must be food and you can eat it.................trust me I did.

    in just over 1 week I've lost weight and I currently weigh 18.6 stones and if I can do it so can you!!

    as my good friend Yoda once said there is no try you either do or do not there is no try :)

    so lets DO IT!!!

    I've looked into these strange things online and they seem to just be fried dough. :-S

    We don't have anything like this.

    Actually biscuits are usually BAKED dough... not that I haven't ever punched a hole in the middle of one, deep-fried it, and called it a doughnut. :bigsmile:

    When in Florida got given biscuits with my KFC. I would call your biscuit a flat scone. Very tasty it was though.

    Hi Pete.

    I too, like you mate, suffer from a biscuit addiction! It's just so easy to dunk a whole pack with a mug of tea or coffee. Bloody things!

    I've also just started here at MFP. Feel free to add me to your friend list fella. I'm on the look out for guys from the UK to lose weight with (and ***** about the price of beer, petrol etc! :) )

    Best wishes

    Bourbons or custard creams?

    I'm another biscuit addict but my problem is linked to tea. A cuppa can be a bit too wet without a gingernut or hob nob.

    Mmmmmmm Hob Nob!

    I wish I hadn't read this thread - all I can think of is biscuits now. :love:

    Lol! biscuits aren't bad. However, biscuits with a million ingredients in them are. Solution: make ur own biscuits. That way, you know what you are eating.

    I just read that BISCUITS=COOKIES

    I had that problem. The problem is that you are not eating enough protein and real carbohydrates. Your body is craving energy in the quickest way it knows how: a cookie.

    Solution: Eat real food and real snacks (increase protein)

    Good luck!

    This is really good advice!!!!! :) Thank you!

    Hi Pete!

    My name is Jools and I am addicted to Custard Creams :-) I love/hate them, they hunt is packs and steal your waistline.

    I truly cannot eat just one and have banned them from my house.

    Good Luck on your weightloss journey

    I can't have biscuits in my house anymore! Fox crunch creams are the reason I'm here in the first place!

    But I haven't had a biscuit in 8 weeks- be strong!

    feel free to add me :happy:
