Wennfred Posted August 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Just know that some of the Sugar Free cakes are made with what they call Equal, the only Equal sweetener that I know of has chemicals, but I took a chance on this one and just had a small piece of the corner. I had to get this information from the Main Chef because the crew serving the cake don’t know. Blood Sugar was 116 and. now 109 … seems like a winner so far. Carnival usually uses Sucralose (Splenda) and that Spikes the hell out of me. So it looks like they are finally reading end cruise surveys about this issue. Always ask to see what sweeteners they are using in their Sugar Free Cakes for Diabetics and people on a ketogenic lifestyle. The picture below is their Raspberry Champagne Cake Fred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucralose (Splenda) is what they usually use which spikes me to 190+ but today I checked it out and they both said Equal, I gave it a try and it worked, for a year I’ve been telling them to use Stevia or Monk Fruit as those come from plants and do not spike me. Check my Spirit Roll call as I am posting my Ketogenic foods there Spirit August 10th 2022 which is this week. Fred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted August 11, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Did you ask the person that is specifically there with access to every ingredient for allergens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Executive Chef will be able to share with you the return date of the petite filet mignon to the brunch menu. 😉 Thanks, Fred for the helpful sugar substitute information for the cakes.

rondl1 Posted August 25, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I have never had a problem with the NSA deserts, except for the taste. Seems like they use the same sponge cake, flavored difference ways. Not a big fan of Carnival's NSA. Royal's NSA are much better and they also have some incredible cookies too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival has some very good low sugar mousse desserts in the buffet. But yes I agree their NSA and low sugar cakes are all not good, not worth eating. I usually eat the cheese plate (although I'm not on a low sugar diet I just prefer to not eat a lot of sugar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
