LCHF cinnamon walnut cake



Okay so I'm standing in the kitchen eating this cake and having this intellectual argument with myself.  I should not be on my third piece of this cake that came out of the oven less than an hour ago.  This is not healthy.  This is not good for me.  I am going to be fat and have a blood sugar of 400.  And then I just keep reminding of myself each ingredient in this cake.

Then I look down at my CGM.  (This is my continuous glucose monitor for those uninitiated). My blood sugar is still 109...

My blood sugar is still 109?!?!

This cake is made from things I can eat!

And it's so moist and delicious.
