No, I don't have a sweet tooth. Can't remember the last time I ate a biscuit ... maybe last Christmas? Chocolate ... at least two or three months ago, possibly more.

Yes. Never used to but let go of all that stuff a while ago. If i eat too "clean" I feel slightly depressed

Goinggreymammy · 04/10/2025 20:55

Yes. Every day.

In 2020 i stopped eating after dinner (dinner 5pm with the kids) and cut out all biscuits, sweets, crisps and I lost almost 2 Stone! I should do this again. But i like sweet things.

idontwanttomissathing · 04/10/2025 20:54

Yes. Everyday. Always have. Today a Mars bar and 4 Tunnocks tea cakes. 54 5ft 2 7 stone.

SlothCat · 04/10/2025 20:52

Yup, every evening after dinner. I have some chocolate, ice cream or biscuit. I tend not to eat that stuff during the day anymore because I'm trying to be more careful with sugar and my teeth. But I don't feel like the day is complete without something sweet in the evening! I'm a healthy weight and just make sure I've calorie counted whatever I'm having

dontmalbeconme · 04/10/2025 20:52

No, I'm diabetic. But even before the T2 diagnosis, no, probably once a month or so. I dont have a sweet tooth. Life isn't fair!

Yes and I am no longer overweight. Mounjaro. I just eat less of everything.

Same. Really love hotel chocolat products. Have one a day or a biscuit with a coffee. Maintained for a year, so obviously not done me any harm.

Moonlightfrog · 04/10/2025 20:49

I do. Life’s too short.
I am not overweight, I exercise a lot, I have a balanced diet with includes cake, biscuits and chocolate in moderation.

RedRec · 04/10/2025 20:49

Every single day. Don't keep biscuits in the house but I always have a KitKat Chunky. And a packet of crisps. I eat very healthy stuff apart from that.
BMI is around 25.5 and I am ok with that.

I don't. I can't eat anything that isn't under 5% fat. That's no chocolate, biscuits, cake, cheese, butter and a hundred other (lovely) things.

I'm also on a low fat diet! Nothing over 5 percent fat. Its working really well so far!

onlyhereforthefood · 04/10/2025 20:44

Multiple times a day, actually.

Squidgoals · 04/10/2025 20:44

Yes I do. Not loads, maybe a madeleine or half a Eccles cake. And maybe once a week I’ll scoff mindfully savour bag of chocolate raisins

Toofficeornot · 04/10/2025 20:43

Yes but I am overweight.
I have been slim.
I have got into a habit of easy snacking and trying to find some will power. I don't currently have any other vices or a very good social life due to kids, so I find enjoyment in it where I should really take up a hobby that isnt eating a whole packet of matchmakers to myself of an evening.

LazySunbedDays · 04/10/2025 20:42

I don’t have a particularly sweet tooth but was given some amazing handmade chocolates and they are gorgeous, so am having one of those every evening once I sit down to relax for the evening.
I used to have a packet of crisps with my lunch but have had new teeth so can’t eat crisps anymore 😭

EmpressaurusKitty · 04/10/2025 20:39

A couple of squares a day of 100% cocoa chocolate.

It took some working up to but now I love it.

RedRedCapris · 04/10/2025 20:38

Yes, yes, yes

readingmakesmehappy · 04/10/2025 20:38

Yes and I need to cut it back and eat better.

chocciebiscuits · 04/10/2025 20:37

Absolutely! I couldn't go a day without chocolate. I am up breastfeeding every night tho so using that as my excuse 😜 although I've always been like that tbh 🙈 chocolate/cakw/biscuits are my weakness x

Makemineacosmo · 04/10/2025 20:37

I have chocolate every day. I buy the treatsize bars. I run and am not overweight. I follow an 80/20 attitude when in it comes to food.

GreyCarpet · 04/10/2025 20:37

No. I don't really like them.

I have 85% dark chcolate occasionally but it's years since I ate a biscuit!

Smartiepants79 · 04/10/2025 20:36

Yes but I’m genetically blessed with a small frame and don’t put on weight easily.
I also don’t feel the need to keep eating beyond the point at which I’m full. So never eat more than 1 or 2 biscuits at one go.
There are plenty of things of change about my body by I am grateful for my natural metabolism!

shuggles · 04/10/2025 20:35

@Favourites8 About 2/3 of adults are overweight or obese, so the vast majority of people are eating a lot of snacks and bad food everyday.

JLou08 · 04/10/2025 20:35

Yes, I have something like that at least once a day, sometimes more. I'm an healthy weight but I am also active, don't eat large meals and my meals are fairly healthy.
