    I want to eat three biscuits in the morning and three in the evening

    don't tell me what to eat, you are not a doctor

    I need to limit carbs to the minimum and three biscuits will detonate my diet
    Six biscuits a day every day. That's not sensible even for someone with no need to pay attention to what they eat.

    And I've no idea what the self-contradictory last sentence means nor its paradoxical conjunction with the first.

    And we wonder why the National Health Service is straining and falling apart and can't be funded.

    No sugar/diabetic biscuits are not necessarily lowcarb due to the flour in them, its not just about the sugar

    if you are wanting to eat 6 a day even lowcarb ones will add up to approx a minimum of 18-20g carbs a day!!!! apart from which eating that many will probably give you tummy issues:eek:

    not sure why you want to eat that many biscuits anyway if you are trying to lose weight, you need to be thinking about retraining the way you eat . these things should be for an occasional treat, altho i use that word guardedly as they really arent that nice as a rule

    and re the cost you wont find them 'cheap' anywhere but try lowcarbmegastore

    I just want something sweetish with my coffee. I drink two coffees per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. I need 2-3 mouthfulls of sweetish thing with my coffee.

    It can be anything sweetish (not too sweet like chocolate). It can be a low carb flax flapjack or something. But I can't find any! I would pay less than £10/kg for that!

    And you won't find any sorry. Most are £3-4 a pack -look on lowcarbmegastore but don't say I didn't warn you about tummy issues

    You would be better off with a square of dark chocolates you really must have something
    When you know better you do better

    Fibre is a carbohydrate source in the way it is measured but does not usually add to the carbs that a diabetic would include their and my total carbs.

    Sweet tasting things that I have come across are FOS fructooligosaccharides which is fairly sweet tasting and I used it to sweeten my breakfast, yoghurt and some other meals. It's a sweet tasting white powder available from places like Biocare. Dolphinfitness sell it the cheapest that I know.

    Bulkpowders sell a product called VitaFiber which tastes fairly sweet but does have a small amount of carbs in it, 5%. and it comes from Cornstarch.

    Be aware that most non sugar sweeteners are very damaging to the digestive system and will cause weight gain! Craving sweet foods can be a sign of infection of the digestive system.

    Nothing is free and without consequences.

    They often have Gullon sugar-free biscuits in the 99p shop near us at the moment. Also in poundworld. Not very exciting options, just digestives or maria biscuits. Occasionally I have lucked out and found vanilla wafers or chocolate chip cookies.

    Today I noticed our Tesco Extra had replaced their easter section with a kind of branded £1shop area where I also spotted the Gullon sugar free digestive biscuits. Its also worth looking in Aldi if you have one nearby (not in the biscuit section, but in the special buy area) as I've found them there in the past too.

    The packs look like these ones: http://www.gullon.es/en

    Hope to help
