eating biscuits and I am trying to lose weight

I buy all-natural sugar free fruit preserves. It's just fruit and pectin. And it's organic. I buy it at Trader Joe's for $3 for 18 ounces. (Trader Joe's is a chain of cheap in price, high quality health food stores in the US). Recently, when my husband I were grocery shopping, we made the mistake of buying crunchy peanut butter. We like it, but prefer smooth because it spreads better and we use less. Well, I also will take little nibbles from the preserve jar while my whole wheat bread (also devoid of anything artificical) is toasting.
Anyway, just go for the all natual stuff. I can't guarantee you'll eat less, but you won't be consuming anything yucky.
PS: I tried the sugar free Smucker's at Bob Evans recently. It reminded me of a poorly sweetened/flavoered piece of grape candy. I spat it into my napkin. I had always been leary of it with all of the chemical-looking ingredients in the ingredients list on the jar. I'll stick with my Trader Joe's preserves.

I wouldn't eat too much of the sugar-free variety if it is sweetened with Aspartane (developed as an ant-killer) and suspicions about its possible link with some cancers.
Sugar isn't particularly that fattening in moderation when compared with fats, so if it's a choice of jelly or crisps, go for the jelly every time.

Mustard is a secret bulge-buster. That boosts your metabolism and boosts natural ephadrine, the hormone in which burns fat. According to Jeya Henry, professor of human nutrition from Oxford Brookes University, just a tablespoon in your food can reduce a flabby waist by 20 per cent!

switch to sugar free jelly - if you were following the weight-watchers points diet, this has 0 points, so you would be allowed as much of it as you wanted.

It’s Friday brunch time and you simply can’t stop going back intended for seconds. But hang on! Stop for just a minute and suck on a supplementary strong mint. The flavour will certainly put you off that finally plate of chicken korma/roast beef/sushi medley.

Go bland. Plain, uncomplicated, unseasoned food such as smoked chicken, plain rice and a nude baked potato are nutritious however your palette will tire of these quickly, unlike salty moreish refined food, which keeps you snacking and piling within the pounds.

jelly is fat - gelatine comes from boiling up the carcasses of animals and letting it cool down - the fat floats on the top of the stock. It is then scraped off and cleaned up a bit... Sugar free jelly is not as bad for your teeth or for diabetics ... but jelly is pure fat!!!!!!

If you only eat the sugar-free kind. Sugar is VERY fattening.
