A low carb diet involves significantly reducing carbohydrate intake, focusing instead on consuming foods high in protein and healthy fats. This dietary approach typically limits or eliminates the consumption of sugar, bread, pasta, and other refined grains, encouraging the inclusion of vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, and healthy oils. The goal is to minimize blood sugar spikes, promote fat burning, and support weight loss and metabolic health by using fat as the primary energy source instead of carbohydrates.
