Let’s be real—almost everyone has a tita, lolo, or friend dealing with high blood these days. And if you’ve been told “bawal ang tam-is” one too many times, you’re not alone.

But here’s the thing: while diabetes and high blood pressure are on the rise in the Philippines, we don’t have to give up our favorite desserts—we just have to make smarter choices.

📈 Did You Know?

Back in 2000, around 1.2 million Filipino adults were living with diabetes.

By 2024, that number exploded to 4.7 million. 😳

That’s almost 4x more Pinoys battling high blood sugar in just two decades.

The culprits? Stress, white rice all day every day, sugary drinks, and lack of movement (hello, desk jobs!).

💡 But Here’s the Good News: You Can Still Have Cake.

Yup—at SlimSnacks, we believe you deserve to enjoy dessert without wrecking your blood sugar or your wellness goals.

And if there’s one cake that proves this, it’s our best-selling:

🍫 Imelda’s Chocolate Cake

Rich. Moist. Decadent.

Zero sugar. Gluten-free. Made with love.

Named after the original recipe from Maida’s mom, Imelda, this chocolate cake was reimagined to be keto-friendly and diabetic-safe—but still delivers that “OMG, ang sarap” moment in every bite.

It’s the chocolate cake you thought you had to give up forever, but don’t.
