Having no success for months even when working with a nutritionist... Help please :(
Diet + exercise is like 1+1=3. It takes time to find the right groove for your body. Protein is the hunger off switch, carbs and fat keep it on. Start by taking away a little of the carbs and add protein. Don't believe the low fat hype, yes control fat but don't attempt to eliminate it. Most low fat foods have just added sugar to make up for the flavour lost from the fat. Create a normal meal plan based on what you normally eat then just try reducing by 100 kcals a day for a week and see how it goes. Ease into it, you will get great success if you take your time.

Looking for a Healthy type of cookie biscuit to make or buy
My take on this is to make the most flavourful decadent biscuit you want. Your absolute fave' no compromise. Then accept that it is an occasional treat not something to have every day; savour it once a week. For me that is the most satisfying way to go. The others just don't hit the spot and I eat more thinking that more will do the trick.

Eliminating Sugar - Where do you draw the line?

Eliminating Sugar - Where do you draw the line?
Try and consider the evolutionary reason why sugar is so good. It makes us fat, it allows us to survive when there is no food. If we look back in time to when we only got sugar from fruits and they only came one time a year. We would eat as much as we could to store as many of the calories as possible to survive when other food sources became unavailable. But now everything is available all of the time. The discovery of sugarcane was huge to our global existence. It caused major social changes and major economic changes. It was fashionable in the 17th century to have black sugar rotted teeth because it showed you could afford the luxury. Sugar and carbohydrates are not required for life. Our livers convert about 50% of all protein we eat into glucose. So the truth is even eating fruits will result in fat gain. That said, you need to find a balance. I find I can cut sugar out entirely for five or six days before I am overwhelmed by the cravings. But then it doesn't take much to slake that hunger for something sweet, a little milk or a teaspoon full of maple syrup will kill the craving and as long as I follow that with a proper meal the wheels don't come off and my genetic programming to eat all of the sugar I can doesn't kick in.

Fed Up (2014) Documentary
The saturated fat issue is still a big question mark. Loads of studies have failed to prove a causal link. There is some evidence that because it is saturated, all of the carbons have hydrogens bonded to them, it cannot be oxidized. The trend towards only consuming unsaturated fats is equally equivocal with no clear evidence of benefit or harm. There is one truth that has been proven, fats and proteins are essential carbohydrates are not. Also studies into what makes ketogenic dieting effective lead to studies into satiety which proved the consumption of fats does not induce satiety, protein consumption does. If Heart disease were simply caused by eating saturated fats we would easily have seen a causal relationship and it would be easily prevented. Unfortunately not so simple. Genetics plays a big role, the body's ability to heal its vasculature system is poorly understood as well as cholesterol's role in the healing process. One hypothesis is that cholesterol is merely the transport or 'taxi' for the healing building blocks of collagen (the stuff veins/arteries are made of) which include some proteins and vitamin C. If the body is lacking in the building blocks the lipoprotein jambs itself into the damaged area until it can be properly healed. The chronic shortage of the building blocks causes this to be repeated over and over with no substantial healing and this blocked arteries are the result. How dietary fats are related to this is not understood. We do know that limiting the intake of dietary fats and carbohydrates will result in reduced fat stores, 'improved' lipid and cholesterol profiles. We also know that since processed foods were introduced in the 1950's Obesity has become a big problem. We also know that eating clean fresh foods will improve our health overall and reduce our fat stores. The confounding factors of genetics and the difficulty of getting a group of people to follow a prescribed meal plan long enough to produce reliable results makes the problem that much harder to solve. Even just getting people to self report their consumption is problematic due to the fact that, as Dr. House put it, "Everybody lies."
