Buy yourself a packet of favorite biscuits, keep them in the kitchen, try not to eat them. Now just how smart is that? Yet rather than side-stepping temptation, dieters often feel a kamikaze urge to fling themselves in its path will change your eating preferences, but it doesn’t happen overnight.
Meanwhile, if biscuits are what rocks your boat, deploy those few minutes it takes to resist buying them in the shop rather than whole days trying to resist eating them once they’re in the house. Here are the fat units to count if you accept a biscuit or two in a safer public situation.
Most contain unhealthy trans or saturated fats, so limit them to two a day, max. Fat units are given per biscuit unless otherwise stated
