I've been buying my 95 year old T2 dad cakes from deliciouslyguiltfree, but apparently the cost of almond flour means they are discontinuing them. They still make the chocolate, which he loves, but his teeth can't cope with it (two broken teeth, though admittedly the first one was whne he was keeping the chocolate in the fridge).

Recommendation please? And do I assume that when places give a carb value including polyols I can net off the polyols?

Thanks in advance.
 
They freeze well @EllieM - I’ve only had the lemon drizzle & the brownie as a little freebie the first time I had the meals. The cheesecakes are quite nice too but don’t freeze

There’s no guilt bakes as well but I find them a bit over priced - they do donuts I think.

I’m sure your dad will enjoy the taste testing :)
 
I would recommend the Keto Kitchen Lytham’s products too. I have only sampled what a friend bought once and they were lovely. I don’t eat almond flour products very much since having a high oxalate kidney stone and almonds being high oxalate sadly.
 
I've tried the keto kitchen from a friend too and liked them a lot but I was buying DGF at the time.
I have also tried the following Keto chefs whose products I really enjoyed.

Keto Brownies

Our delicious Keto brownies are a delightful treat for anyone watching the carbs!

I also tried their doughnuts, scones and bread all were tasty and delivery quick although expensive.

I now mainly make my own using Panda Flour. Panda pantry do very easy cake mixes if you fancied and had time to do a bake for him. They freeze well. But realise this isn't for everyone and time can definitely be an issue especially when caring for someone.

Edit apologies @EllieM forgot you live at a distance from your Dad I'm sure baking for him isn't practical!

what sort of snack net carb value are you looking for?

in order of own personal preference all around 8.5g net carbs

https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/pulsin-mint-chocolate-peanut-keto-bar-60046347 love this one!
https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/pulsin-orange-chocolate-peanut-keto-bar-60046345 is ok
not at all keen on their chocolate fudge version although used to love fudge!

i posted a fairly lowcarb cheesecake recipe the other day if got a little time to make your own. you can melt a little bit of 90+ dark chocolate which would up carb value by a little bit however would be more of a stiffer mousey consistency very very light. doesnt take long to make. you could use also just do the filling and place ontop of prebought keto digestive cookies/biscuits and add in 50ml approx tkmaxx's sugar free hazlenut syrup to give it a nutty taste alongside crushing up some hazlenuts for decoration :) adding the mix ontop of fitbakes cookies (1g net carbs per biscuit) will soften them slightly should be enough to make easy for damaged teeth. prep work is around 20mins if doing that. I'd remove the lemons alongside the lemon flavoured jelly and instead just use 1 sheet of dr okters or simular gelatine (0 net carbs).

It’s a while since I bought them, but I think it was at least three months, maybe longer.
 
Bumping this thread because my dad loves the keto Lytham kitchen cakes but ...

Any thoughts on how many he can safely eat a day?

We're currently limiting him to 2 a day but would it actually do him any harm to eat more?

My brother and I were slightly horrified when he ate 2 for breakfast and had another for morning tea but is there a physical (rather than financial) reason for limiting him?

Honesty those cakes are currently the high point of his day....

Comments welcomed.
 
This article has some info on recommended consumption levels of erythritol, which is an ingredient in the cakes @EllieM . So I would look at the specific cakes your dad has eaten, and work out according to his weight if he is within the limits.

EFSA Lowers Acceptable Daily Intake for Sweetener Erythritol, Which Most People Exceed

Polyols such as erythritol do sometimes cause gut issues, diarrhoea for example. My own feelings on this are that as long as I wasn’t having those gut issues, should I reach the age of 95, and had found something that was the high point of my day, I would be inclined to throw caution to the wind, and eat as much and as often as I liked. Quality of life over quantity of extra time.
 
Have to agree with @Pipp here @EllieM - at 95 as long as the cakes aren’t upsetting your dads gut or having any adverse affects then I’d say “let him eat cake”

Not sure if you’ve seen those cakes “in the flesh” so to speak but I’ve had those cakes & they are very very good (best bought keto cakes I’ve had) but they are bite size - tiny in fact and four would still be a small portion of cake, I could definitely have eaten more than 2 at a time :)

Unfortunately, there is a paywall to the article you've linked, but I get the picture. Erythritol consumption needs minding.

The info that @Pipp is referring to i.e = how much is safe per body weight is in the first paragraph which is visible
Copied from the text

0.5 grams per kilogram of bodyweight (g/kg BW) per day.

Not sure why you are seeing a paywall?
I didn’t get that, but this is the relevant info copied, should there be a problem with access
================================================
After reassessing the food safety of erythritol, a sugar alcohol that is commonly used as a zero-calorie sweetener, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has lowered the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for the additive to 0.5 grams per kilogram of bodyweight (g/kg BW) per day. The agency reports that, in all groups of people across the EU population included in the assessment, both acute and chronic exposure to erythritol is above the newly set ADI.

The ADI of 0.5 g/kg BW was set as protection from the immediate laxative effect of erythritol but also from any potential adverse long-term effects, secondary to diarrhea, such as electrolyte imbalance.
