General rules
If while on a diet it is difficult to give up flour, then a cookie diet is suitable.
This does not mean that you can eat only cookies - it is enough to eat 5-6 pieces a day, preferably in the first half of the day. You need to understand that any cookie, even healthy ones, does not have a fat burning effect. Eating it will help you “not break” during your diet. If you want to lose weight, you need to monitor your caloric intake and increase physical activity. This diet is often compared to Dr. Segal's biscuit diet , in which low-fat baked goods replace almost all meals (except for dinner, when no more than 100 g of meat or fish with a vegetable side dish or cereals are allowed). A serving of biscuit contains no more than 3 g of fat, and there is no sugar in them.
Biscuits are enriched with dietary fiber and protein. You can eat 6 biscuits a day; they have a variety of flavors (chocolate, banana, berry) and are perfectly filling. The diet consists of 1000 calories and is designed for 10 days. Abroad, dietary biscuits are sold through health food stores. It is not possible to purchase them in Russia.
Therefore, they find a way out of this situation, adapt to our conditions and offer to use cookies available to everyone or bake them themselves. Be that as it may, any baking involves the use of flour, the calorie content of which is quite high: 334 kcal (wheat), 298 kcal (rye), 330-340 kcal (corn), 367 kcal (buckwheat), 369 kcal (oatmeal). Therefore, the calorie content of the finished product cannot be lower than 334 kcal. The further “fate” of calorie content depends on the composition: sugar, fats, all kinds of fillers.
For example, shortbread cookies contain a lot of fat, sugar and are very high in calories (even the simplest ones contain 385 kcal per 100 g). Fillers in the form of chocolate, sugar or milk glaze, condensed milk, peanuts, candied fruits, coconut and wafer chips, cocoa further increase the calorie content of the finished product. It can reach 480-500 kcal.
Of course, it is affordable and you can buy dietary or sports nutrition cookies. The latter includes increased amounts of protein (wheat and whey), fructose and fiber, which are elements of a healthy diet. In addition, it is often enriched with vitamins. Diet cookies are produced under the trademarks Energy Diet Smart (198 kcal per 100 g), Fitness cookies (70 kcal per cookie), but at a fairly high price.
Not everyone can afford such products. What cookies can you eat on a diet and which one is better to choose from the more affordable ones? The following types of cookies have the lowest calorie content, so they can be used during a diet:
- Dietary biscuits with bran flour and without fat - no more than 330 kcal.
- Homemade oatmeal. Ready-made oatmeal, prepared according to GOST, contains 436 kcal.
- Cookies “Maria” 400 kcal.
- Cookies for diabetics 430 kcal.
- Made from whole grain flour, homemade - 420 kcal.
If you make your own baked goods, you can know exactly the ingredients. First of all, you will eliminate harmful confectionery fats, which are always present in baked goods, preservatives, stabilizers and flavor enhancers. In addition, the composition can be adjusted by taking, for example, low-fat milk or kefir, or even replacing them with water. The taste will be slightly worse, but you will benefit from the final calorie content of the finished product. You can also regulate the amount of sugar or replace it with fructose or another sugar substitute.
According to GOST, ready-made oatmeal cookies contain 14% oatmeal (flakes), 40% sugar and 25% fat, which affects its calorie content (436). Despite the high calorie content of oatmeal, it is considered a dietary product. It contains easily digestible proteins, fiber and carbohydrates necessary for the body. If you prepare dietary cookies from it yourself, you can minimize the ingredients, for example, completely eliminate fats, and reduce the amount of sugar and (or) replace it with stevia or maple syrup. It is not advisable to use honey, since it loses its beneficial properties when cooked. You can add ginger and cinnamon, which enhance metabolic processes.
Can “Maria” biscuits be used on a diet? Yes, this type of cookie is allowed, despite the fact that it contains a lot of carbohydrates and has a high calorie content. At least it is healthier than other types that we buy in the store.
Galette cookies "Maria" are moderately sweet dry cookies. To prepare it, wheat flour (or a mixture of different types of flour), baking powder, sugar, starch, milk and vegetable oil are used. The calorie content of the finished product is 366-400 kcal. This type of cookie can be considered hypoallergenic due to the absence of additives. It will not cause flatulence , since it does not contain yeast and a minimum of sugar. When preparing at home, you can make adjustments to the recipe: omit the oil and replace the milk with water. Cookies that do not contain fat can be stored for a long time.
Biscuits without sugar and fat are called crackers - they are both a snack and a bread substitute that is suitable for those on a diet. Unfortunately, manufacturers add preservatives, flavors and other additives. If you are concerned about your healthy eating, you can also prepare them at home. The calorie content of biscuits prepared with fructose and added to water is 300 kcal. Light and tasty - they give a feeling of fullness, but do not overload the stomach, satisfy the craving for high-calorie baked goods in the form of buns and butter pies.
Cookies for diabetics are most often prepared with fructose , which has a low glycemic index (32, and sugar 87) and skim milk. Baking with fructose will have little effect on blood glucose levels and does not require insulin . If you are preparing baked goods at home, instead of sugar, you can use other sugar substitutes that have a sweet taste, but are slowly converted into glucose in the body or are almost not converted. These may be sorbitol , xylitol , cyclomate or aspartame .
The last two substances have zero calorie content. However, all these substances negatively affect the kidneys and liver, so they should be used with restrictions: aspartame - 6 tablets, and saccharin - 3 tablets per day. To be sure of the ingredients, you can learn how to prepare baked goods yourself.
Low calorie desserts
I mentioned some of the methods in my articles “Dietary sweets for a vegetarian” and “Is it possible to have sweets while losing weight?”
The list of such goodies is simple - dried fruits, honey, dark chocolate, marmalade and marshmallows. But, you must admit, the same thing quickly gets boring.
Of course, you can always cook something tasty and low-calorie like a cake, the recipes for which can be found in the article “Cakes for Weight Loss.”
However, often there is simply no time to stand at the stove, and you really want to treat yourself to something sweet.
Home » Losing weight easily » Is it possible to eat cookies while losing weight
Very often, in order to lose weight quickly and effectively, people resort to very strict diets. And the result from them is not always what was dreamed of at the very beginning. Scientists have proven: the more often a person denies himself what he wants, the more difficult it is to make an informed choice next time. That is, the longer you give up sweets, the more you want them. It is as a result of this gradual weakening of the will that breakdowns from the planned diets occur.
Many nutritionists recommend not giving up all culinary preferences at once, but replacing the dishes excluded from the diet with something. For example, if you see a delicious and tempting donut in a window, you should buy an apple. You won’t satisfy the desire to eat a donut, but it won’t get stronger the next time.
Some doctors advise buying or preparing diet cookies yourself. Its calorie content is extremely low, and due to the content of cereals, nuts, and dried fruits, it can give strength to the body, help with brain function, and slightly strengthen blood vessels that suffer during weight loss. Dietary cookies most often mean cereal or oatmeal cookies. But the regular one won't do - it has too much sugar. This delicacy must be purchased in specialized stores for athletes.
It is also worth looking into a store for diabetics - products from this line are much more expensive than traditional ones, but they contain fructose instead of sugar. You can also make cookies at home yourself. The beauty of this homemade delicacy is that it does not contain preservatives, fills the house with a pleasant aroma during baking, and can be baked in small portions as needed.
Weight loss cookies are prepared based on your favorite or any available oatmeal recipe using all low-fat ingredients. It wouldn’t hurt to add raisins, dried apricots, nuts, and seeds to the dough.
When hunger strikes, a couple of hours before lunch or closer to night, a couple of cookies with tea or kefir will fill the body with the missing energy and satisfy hunger. The main thing is not to eat them all at once. Remember that the task of cookies is to distract the body from hunger.
Dr. Segal even developed a special diet in which you can eat 1-3 cookies for breakfast, instead of lunch, dinner and afternoon snack. Despite the doctor’s statements and the large number of his followers, domestic nutritionists rarely risk recommending it to patients. Thus, small portions of “special” cookies can dull hunger, give strength to the body and brain, support blood vessels and the heart - this contributes not only to weight loss, but and improving the health of the body as a whole.
Eating high-calorie foods when correcting weight is contraindicated; the ban applies to carbohydrate sweets. These organic compounds are not completely eliminated from the body, they are deposited and form fat folds. But eating low-carb sweets is a reality, but it is not recommended to abuse such food ingredients. In unreasonable quantities, dietary goodies have a detrimental effect on your figure, digestion, and general well-being.
In order to eat well and not gain weight, portions of sugar from the diet menu must be kept to a minimum, and glucose, valuable for the brain and blood circulation, must be obtained from honey, fruits, dark chocolate and other dietary sweets. If the body does not receive fructose, the “happiness hormone” is not produced in the same volumes, and a woman losing weight may become depressed.
According to nutritionists, these sweets contain light carbohydrates diluted with fat-burning pectins. This combination reduces the absorption of carbohydrates, prevents fat deposition, the formation of the subcutaneous layer, and activates metabolic processes. You can consume dietary sweets only in the first half of the day - up to 12 hours, which provides an additional source of valuable energy for the whole day.
After lunch, the presence of tasty treats in the daily menu is extremely undesirable, since the digestion process is noticeably delayed, glucose accumulates in problem areas, and a layer of fat appears over time. For such a dietary diet, the effect of correcting excess weight is not expected, the extra pounds remain in their original places, and sweets interfere with losing weight. Calories received in the morning are consumed much faster throughout the day, do not linger and do not fill the digestive organs.
On a diet, you are allowed to indulge in sweets no more than twice a week, even if these are low-calorie dishes. If a person losing weight has a similar desire on other days, it is best to limit himself to sucking a small piece of dark chocolate. But how else can you suppress the irrepressible desire to eat something tasty and satisfying?
- Honey. Periodic use of this product helps to lose extra pounds, activate metabolism, regulate digestion, ensure access of glucose to the brain, calm the nervous system, improve and purify the blood, and improve immunity. Low-calorie sweetness suppresses appetite, while in its natural composition it contains a large amount of vitamins, minerals, and microelements.
- Dried fruits. These dietary sweets replace sweets, are good for digestion and the myocardium, have a mild laxative and tonic effect, and suppress a wild appetite. It is advisable to eat them fresh, otherwise, after preparing dried fruit compote, some of the beneficial properties are lost during heat treatment.
- Marmalade. In its natural composition, this low-calorie product contains pectins, so it can be safely used for weight loss. There are no fats at all, but the permissible dose of such sweets is 25 g per day; large portions of the delicacy only harm the figure.
- Marshmallows and marshmallows. This is another dietary sweet that helps you lose weight quickly. We are talking about low-calorie homemade delicacies that contain pectins to break down fats in the subcutaneous layer of a problematic figure. When losing weight, marshmallows strengthen the immune system, replenish the deficiency of valuable vitamins and microelements, and satisfy the feeling of hunger. You are allowed to eat no more than 50 grams of sweets per day, otherwise the process of correcting excess weight will slow down.
- Black chocolate. This low-calorie product is good for the heart and blood vessels and has antibacterial properties. When correcting problem areas of the figure, it is allowed to be consumed in limited quantities: the permissible daily dose is no more than 30 grams, but it is best to choose sweets without sugar content. Only high-quality chocolate can be eaten on a diet, further increasing the body's resistance to external irritants.
- Muesli bars. Such low-calorie sweets become an alternative to milk chocolate. To prepare them, you can use dried fruits, cereals, nuts, proteins, vitamins, fiber and carbohydrates. Low-calorie muesli not only suppresses hunger, but also feeds the brain with glucose. It is best to prepare homemade sweets without doubting their usefulness and dietary properties.
- Low calorie ice cream. Natural amino acids, as active components, stimulate the production of the “happiness hormone”, so the diet does not cause melancholy and increased irritability. A small number of calories does not affect the condition of the figure, there are no folds of fat. Daily portions are not limited.
Oat cookies

- Rinse 500 grams of frozen unsweetened berries through a sieve and dry on a towel.
- Grind in a mortar, add 2 cups of water and boil over moderate heat for 5-7 minutes.
- Separately, dissolve 20 grams of gelatin in a glass of warm water until a homogeneous mass is formed.

- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, and during this time combine honey and cinnamon in a separate container.

Just those same letters “E” that doctors always warn about. Moreover, there is too much sugar in any cookie to consider it as a useful product for weight loss. Even biscuits, which diabetics prefer, are high in calories, but they contain less sugar than others. Therefore, in order not to exclude cookies from your diet, you should make them at home, according to a recipe, the composition of which will satisfy the needs of any nutritionist.
