..Cake

(Nick) #1

Only been doing this for about a week now and feel bad because I had a slice of cake for my grandmothers birthday yesterday. I debated it for about 10 min then caved. I felt so bad afterwards but I’m hoping it wont affect me too much.

it can happen, but the important thing is to Keep Calm and Keto On :wink:

I’m tweaking the sweeteners, but this works really well for me when I want some cake - I even made it for myself so I could have some cake on my son’s birthday recently.

I realize it not that bad, just trying to keep myself on track and I think this forum is going to be a great help.

Ill have to give that cake recipe a try. I haven’t doon any real cooking for keto yet. Need a list of thinga to try.

my first week i had a couple of thin mints that i don’t even eat normally but my intake was too low so i just “had” to lol
i just wrote it off and ketoed on
which works for my mental health as long as i don’t find myself thinking i can write this, that, and the other thing off on the regular.

i also think keto is sooo different than other ways of eating…obviously but i mean mentally. :wink:
pre keto i would justify going “off plan”, that one thing wouldn’t hurt me with all the other things i had changed (rebellion! you can’t tell me what to do! lol).
now i know that there are actual internal goals that i don’t want to jack up.

it was your grandmother’s birthday not a daily trip to the donut shop :blush:
about two months in there was a birthday celebration…i had one bite of cake instead of a slice…i’m not recommending to have the cake at all but one bite was a strategy i could live with…and i didn’t even like it…i loved cake pre keto :joy:
i do like the keto cakes i’ve made but i also decided to get in the keto groove without “treats” before trying any.
i still have the recipe for coconut butter cake that i haven’t made bookmarked…since week one.
i’m afraid it will be too good :joy:

i really it’s all about learning…especially when you first start out.
you got this :blush:

edit: i ramble sometimes :blush: and i’m apparently an emoji overuser…

If I could talk to people in real life just using emojis, I totally would. love emojis. :heart_exclamation:

I made this the other day and it really is bang up proper cake - take some to your gran’s next time you visit.

Have you tried this Lava Cake recipe? Amazeballs. I think I used 2 teaspoons of sweetener instead of T and that was fine for me.

Oh wow that Lava Cake looks ah-mazing!

Don’t be down on yourself Brodvay - I’d say my first month on keto I had some of this too. I found the longer I went the better it got. Now some things I just can’t eat any more. I think I want to. I may even go as far as putting it in my mouth. Then spit it out because what my brain thinks I want and what my body wants are two different things sometimes.

Stay Kalm and Keto On. We all have moments.

I’m soooo making that raspberry cake soon. Thanks for sharing!

#13

I’m going to try it with lemon juice and zest added this weekend. Excited already!

(gooeykablooey) #14

I was actually going to make mine with lemon too! And replace the raspberries with blueberries because I don’t have raspberries this week!

#15

sounds good. We will both have to try and remember to take a picture before we scoff the lot!
