Only thing stopping you is your bank account 😆
I mean, unless it's decorated, cakes are fairly cheap (especially if you compare it to other foods by calories per dollar)
I'd say the biggest thing stopping most people from doing this regularly is a desire to not get type 2 diabetes lol
Eating sugar doesn’t give anyone T2 diabetes. It’s largely a hereditary metabolic disease.
You're definitely thinking of T1, or health class and the Internet lied to me all my life. Come to think of it...
But for sure you can get T2 from making unhealthy choices with sugar consumption.
Unhealthy food choices in general can help cause obesity which increases one’s risk, as does age; still largely hereditary. How do I know? My maternal grandmother was type 1 diabetic, my mother was T2, myself and all three of my siblings are T2. It’s part of the counseling after your diagnosis. It’s probably better to listen to health care professionals instead of folks on the internet.
