A low carb diet limits the amount of carbohydrates consumed - especially those most commonly found in starchy vegetables, fruits and grains. The recommended amount of carbohydrates consumed can differ between low carb diets. Generally, a low carb diet will only consume 130g of carbohydrates a day, whereas an individual following a keto diet may consume less than 20g a day. A low carb diet will instead focus on including higher protein and higher natural fat foods in your day to day diet.

Some low carb diets can result in weight loss, due to the fluid loss you will likely experience from limiting carbohydrate intake. However, this can also mean the weight can come back quickly when carbohydrates are slowly re-introduced to your diet.

A low carb diet usually includes eating foods like lean meats (chicken, fish, sirloin, etc.), eggs, green vegetables, unsweetened and unprocessed dairy products, nuts, oils, and some fruits like apples and strawberries. Because you're eating fewer carbohydrates, you need to ensure you're receiving energy from the other macronutrients. Low carb meals should be higher in protein and healthy fats, have 2-3 vegetables and a complex carbohydrate.
