A low-carb diet limits carbohydrates — such as those found in grains, starchy vegetables and fruit — and emphasises foods high in protein and fat.
This means that you eat fewer carbohydrates and a higher proportion of fat with adequate amounts of protein as well. This can also be called a low-carb, high-fat diet (LCHF) or a keto diet.
A low-carb diet is generally used for weight loss. Some low-carb diets may have health benefits beyond weight loss, such as reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome
