Not sure what info you looked at but it says EACH SERVING IS ONLY 1g NET CARBS - Avoid spiking your blood sugar levels with this amazing Groovy Keto low carb and keto friendly vanilla cake mix (You can also make cupcakes from this keto mix).
Pertty low carb in my book.
Low net carb but most of the carb is polyols. I looked at the chocolate brownie mix and I wouldn't risk even half a brownie. Fine if your insides tolerate polyols, otherwise prepare to spend a lot of time in the bathroom after your indulgence.

I am looking on you for more guidance as i do not understand reading carb labels . I am wanting to know for other things too . Thsnks as always for your help.
 
Im actually not that bad i will only have a cake as an after evening meal treat even if there were to be other treats in the house my daughter has a cupboard full of junk food it doesn't bother me
Well done , I know when hubby is out I would like but at the moment motivated but when the munchies come. Cheese helps otherwise its tears.

lemon cake is 11g carb per serving, not per 100g. 54g per 100g.

lemon cake 1.7g net carbs per serving, so yes, low carb, but the 10g polyols per serving puts up massive red flags for me, unless I was in need of a strong laxative. Some people may not be affected by polyols but I know I have to be very cautious!

yes i tried to correct it but you beat me to it. so 11.7 g of carbs is not 1 g is it ?

You would only count the 1.7g net carbs as carbs, polyols do not affect BGs as other carbs (for most people, some may find otherwise). It's the other effects that worry me!

So what do you eat? I guess counting carbs for different reason as you are on insulin.

Just had a look at the nutritional info on the web site...

Their net carbs is total carbs - polyols. Make my usual comment about carb values, they are more likely to be educated guesswork than measured values.

They quote net carbs either per 41 g slice of finished cake or per 100g dry mix and get either 7 g net carb or 1g depending on what you take as a portion. Either way up, the numbers do not really add up (seemingly 700g dry mix is equivalent to a single 41g slice of cake)

When the numbers don't obviously add up then its likely that somebody is playing fast and loose to come up with a headline (where have we seen that before) and so its best to dismiss the whole thing and move on. If they can't be straight with the numbers, what else might they be up to you have got to ask

Anyway £8 for a cake when you have to do most of the work, provide the energy to cook it and carry the risk if it all goes wrong is a bit over the top don't you think?

On the other hand the ingredients dont look too high carb . The lemon cake has
Erythritol (Sweetener), Almond Flour, Chicory Root Fibre, Organic Coconut Flour, Whey Protein (Milk, Sunflower Lecithin), Lemon Powder, Gluten-free Baking powder (Mono Calcium Phosphate, Rice Flour, Sodium Bicarbonate), Himalayan Pnk Salt, Xanthan Gum, Natural Flavouring, Stevia Extract

Allergen information: Contains nuts (Almonds), milk (Whey protein)

But £8 a cake that I have to bake and might not eat. Yes , ive made things that its hmm too sweet , too false so nope .
I also think if i ate cake, crisps, biscuits id want that habit. Still want it but can get by not having them. On holiday and Christmas I might be more tempted.
 
Im just looking at the groovey keto range and wondered if anyone has tried it
It is worth it does it spike our sugar levels
I love cooking but missing cake and treats please advise is this a yes or a huge No
Thanks in advance ☺️
Only just joined this group and seen your post. Don't buy these make your own. Much cheaper and just as good if not better. Find a recipe you fancy and swap the flour for almond flour, sugar for sweeter, omit the baking powder and increase the eggs by 50%. Bingo you can have tasty buns at a fraction of the price

Quite a few people use the recipes on sugarfreelondoner website.
 
Oh no - polyols - they are dreadful. I was so bloated, I was in such agony.
We can't digest them but the flora and fauna in our guts can, and they had a party.

Apologies for the adverts but this may interest you.
 
i like them for those times you just need a cookie they are individually wrapped. However they are expensive so i bake my own and freeze .
