I believe we’ve entered a new realm of living! Not even sure what to say except
WOW!
10 servings on the cake which is 40 carbs. (I do not reccomend making this entire box if you don’t have willpower )
The icing is 11 servings which means the entire container is obviously 11 carbs. Not bad.
I’ll do half a box and make cupcakes. Half will be 20 carbs. Two will stay out. Three will freeze.
My sweet tooth is pretty much non existent.
However personally I wouldn’t reccomend this for someone with keto wet feet (new members to our community)
Life sure has changed and our lifestyle has really become a global enterprise. That’s awesome. That’s what this signifies to me.

Then stay away from this proccesed factory crap as far as you can.
Net carbs is deceiving, what is the real, total carbs?
Wouldn’t touch it, unless there where no more fresh products in the world.
Yourr right, big junk food dark lords want a piece of the pie. You see more and more use of the word KETO on labels of junk food.

Not like I am interested in such things (I avoid these stuff since a decade) but how much is 1 serving? It’s not informative at all. What is the carb count for 800 kcal cake (it’s really not much but enough as I always need some savory food first)? I am sure I can do better with the carbs but yep, it took time to make the recipes. There are so many blogs though, they may be useful for some people. I would avoid store-bought things but we aren’t all that choosy, I understand that.
We don’t have these here so I don’t get tempted (I can be super curious even if I like my own food best).

I am so sorry that this processed food substitute is being sold wherever you are. I know that not everyone agrees with those of us who see the starting point of any sustainable keto/LCHF way of eating as JUST EAT REAL FOOD. However, eating real ancestrally appropriate food is the way I do this and it suits me. If I want cake, and I don’t want it very often I have a cheat day and get back on the wagon straight after. Why put your hard earned money in the hands of the processed food industry who made us all fat and sick in the first place?

I think this would be great for the occasional celebration, but agree with the others about eating processed food, even if it has a keto label. I think the belief that net carbs matters over total carbs gets people in trouble.

I can relate to some extent (though I consider that a mistake for me. I can understand eating half a loaf of bread with honey, that was totally my thing but cake? cake needn’t to be carby, it just makes it worse, usually) but that’s not a good option for many. I rather make a low-carb cake myself but I can imagine that choosing a low-carb processed thing over an extremely carby processed thing is better for many people. Even if neither are ideal but honestly, I didn’t eat near ideally in my first low-carb years and probably never will… We evolve at different speed and have a different level of health-consciousness.
I still basically agree with the others, I can’t like these stuff. Money isn’t necessarily a concern, I am poor and still WASTED a ton of money on food I didn’t need to eat… If I actually had money, I would gladly spend it on food (good quality ingredients but each to their own). People spend money on almond flour too, it’s their right, I am just annoyed a tiny bit when I can’t find any recipe without it, at least if baking is involved (I go to some carnivore blog then 
or a Hungarian paleo one as we don’t really have keto ones).
To me, net carb content… isn’t everything but a big part of everything. If I know I will eat half a cake, it will be not nearly as nice doing it with sugar and flour (and I am not even very sensitive). And it drastically lowers the total carb content too. (Partially because I do it myself and won’t make it anywhere as sweet as a newbie but it’s true anyway.) That’s nice though I never experienced total itself matters to me. But if it means sweeteners, the sweetness may interfere, I am not sure, never made the right experiments… But it seems safer to eat normal savory food (or somewhat neutral desserts. no one takes away my dessert pancakes and occasional ice cream. it’s possible to live without them but why would I do that?). But I needed many years to go without sweets for multiple days in row so I understand it’s not that easy for many.
But people should be aware what they are doing. These are like the carby store-bought kind, without some carbs - and potentially some extra problematic stuff. It’s not some okay stuff good for eating every day, surely some people thinks so.
It’s making profit, the usual.

That’s awesome! Nice when a REAL brand like Duncan Hines does that, my kids birthday is coming this month so I’m all over that. As you can see there’s no shortage of haters of good tasting things here. God forbid somebody that eats keto can act normal once in a a while and enjoy a piece of cake!

Do you really need to be that dramatic over some cake mix?
I agree with that, doesn’t mean you can’t act like a normal person and eat some cake once it a while. A cake that will do less than half the damage of what a normal one would. Bringing keto to a cult purist level is why so many people say it’s NOT sustainable, and in that context… they’re right!

It’s good that global food business sees the opportunity. As OG keto practitioners, we still need to read labels, but it’s nice that the low-carb lifestyle is hitting the mainstream.

The problem with a lot of these commercial alternatives is that we really have no idea what is in them. The U.S. labelling laws make it easy for manufacturers to be deceptive. I have heard of a number of manufacturers getting in trouble for making deceptive claims regarding the carb count of their edible food-like substances (as Michael Pollan likes to call them).

I am pretty much in the just-eat-real-food camp. Went to the DH web site to look at ingredients in this mix. All in all not as horrendous as I expected. I personally still wouldn’t eat it, but it may he helpful to others on their keto journey. Also, maybe we are finally hitting big food where it hurts so they have to pay attention to us now.

Yeah, I do think this can be a gateway drug. A starting point. Everybody has to leave the SAD in their own way and cold turkey doesn’t work for all (although it is a nice tasty protein source 
).
Not everybody will become a whole-food, cook-from-scratch keto enthusiast, but a lot more will when keto is a household name and products like this are everywhere. And some people will stay in junk-food keto land too, which might be better than super-high-carb junk food land.

Eating a dessert once in a while is great, the problem for me I find is the sweet taste spirals in me and then I seek out the flavor even more. Yes it’s all still keto, but eventually all the carbs add up. I thought I was doing so well and I wasn’t truly craving sweets, I could keep it at bay with a piece of 100%dark chocolate a day. Just one piece. Well this weekend I decided while making my husbands dessert I’d have one too. Just this once. So I did, I made a cacao mug cake, well after that I wanted a tablespoon of nut butter (the cake was a bit dry). Fast forward next day, well it’s the weekend mentality let me have a quarter cup yogurt with some dried peanut butter powder and kiss my keto granola. Oh that’s not enough let’s have a bite of dark chocolate.
My bottom line message if you can handle a dessert and truck forward that is amazing, then do it, but for me this is a gateway to a bad road. Now I gotta figure out how to kill the sugar mongrel today.

Not sure who ’ our ’ is ?
The giant SAD food conglomerates are just following the money…
The benefits of a ketogenic metabolism come from quality whole foods and not the processed crap that caused the problems in the first placed…
P.S.
My wife who fights a battle with sweet treats, tried this stuff and said it was awful.
What it will do is make people who are thinking about going " keto " decide it is not how they want to eat, without learning what a true ketogenic way of eating is really like.

Eh… Depends on what you believe. Every study has tons of money flowing behind it from someone looking to guide people. I never had a problem. Lost tons of weight and tons of sizes.
Like everything else… Moderation.
I enjoy it, and think it is WAY better than the alternative.
My health is impeccable for a 55 year old.
Blood everything.
So for me personally it’s fine.
I don’t live in fear. I have faith.
Never have lived that way never will.
I eat very very clean. Everything prepped in a spotless kitchen. With healthy nutrients.
I ain’t giving this little thing up.
Not doing it.

You can though. I love it. Never caused me one problem. Been doing low carbs for many years.

I’m on the fence about these things. Me personally I avoid the Keto substitutes recipes and processed items. Just saw it as a bad way to just to keep eating fake versions of what got me obese in the first place. But if it helps anyone to occasionally indulge in this and it keeps them on Keto, I think it’s okay. But only occasionally
Hey, I ain’t perfect, I indulge in some fries before. Had a few other no no’s in my going on 3 years Keto journey. If I had an indication I want a piece of cake. I’d just eat a piece of cake 
then go right back to Keto.
I’ve never eaten cake since I’ve been on Keto tho.
I’m all about simple no stress Keto. Do you and your way.
But I have always been concerned about all the faux processed, taste like the real thing giving the wrong impression to newbies. I’m concerned it just causes people to have the cake and eat too kinda thing. Take it too far in other words.
Keto is about giving up our old way of eating. Tell it bye, pat it on the butt and watch it sail out to sea. Dr, Cywes calls it Carb addiction. I totally agree with his thinking.
