When Carbs Don’t Count: Guilt Free Guide to Bread Baskets

Here at Red Velvet we think that no-carb diets are as sinister as inverted umbrellas or forcing someone to walk through New York’s Times Square.

We love carbs just as much as we love that green juice smoothie (it’s all about balance, friends), and there are moments in life when you’ve got to just say YES I WANT THAT DONUT. After all, life is about enjoying the little (or giant cupcake) pleasures.

Carbs don’t count when:

1. You’ve had a bad day and need something sweet to cope.
2. You’ve had a good day and need something sweet to celebrate.
3. It’s sweater season so you get to eat up.
4. It’s bikini season so you still get to eat up.

6. It’s no one’s birthday, but the waiter just brought out a bread basket.
7. It’s no one’s birthday, but you made yourself a cake — and can eat it too.

So the next time you’re contemplating a mouthful of doughy, chewy carbs, just remember that tomorrow morning you can drink your kale away and feel sin free. Happy Eating!
