Biscuit Diet!?
One of the best things about biscuits is that they can be an incredibly uniform and versatile form of nutrition. You can put exact amounts of whatever macro and micronutrients you want into a carefully measured portion. When you know exactly how many calories each bikkies has, you can carefully monitor your intake! That’s the concept of The Cookie Diet, a nutrition plan comprised of low calorie biscuits designed to provide balanced nutrition in cookie form. Its worth considering if you like biscuits and want to try something a bit different.
