My personal opinion is, my low carb way of eating is something I need to do for the rest of my life, and that’s a long time without cake! I understand what everyone says about ’getting over your sweet tooth’, and to a large extent I have, I make things much less sweet than I used to and on a daily basis, I do not require anything sweeter than unsweetened double cream.
My must-have cravings are mostly gone, and fortunately I actually stopped eating chocolate a couple of years prior to diagnosis. I had a bad viral infection one winter, lost my sense of taste and completely went off food for about 2 weeks. When everything was back to normal, my chocolate addiction was gone and has never returned. Ordinary milk chocolate is faintly revolting to me now, and while I could happily have scoffed a load of Hotel Chocolate dark chocolate marzipans, there was no craving any more. So I didn’t. Weird...
But I have always enjoyed a bit of cake and did not want ‘get over’ that, so I bake keto cake now and then. Quite often, keto scones for weekend breakfasts. So you can still have sweet things, the frequency and amount are something to resolve with your meter. Or in my case, my tolerance for baking!
