"I save my carbs for wine. It’s called priorities." - Carrie Bradshaw
Wine is one of life's delicious treats! But wine often contains higher amounts of carbs, making it a forbidden pleasure for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet. For those on a low carb diet, it is usually recommended that the limited amount of carbs allowed be used to eat salads and green vegetables. But is life worth living if you can't have a glass of wine?
Carrie Bradshaw has the right idea! Rather than wasting precious carbs on vegetables, she saves her carb allowance so she can drink a lovely glass of wine or two. Who wouldn't prefer to sit down with a glass of rich Barolo or a crisp Pinot Grigio instead of a plate of broccoli? What is the point of dieting to look gorgeous if you can't enjoy your life? Carrie has come up with the perfect solution so that she can still relish life while looking good!
