A Typical Low-Carb Diet

The typical low-carb diet does not have a fixed definition.

It is simply referred to as a low-carb or carb-restricted diet.

This eating pattern tends to be lower in carbs and higher in protein than a typical Western diet. It usually emphasizes meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats.

You’re meant to minimize your intake of high-carb foods like grains, potatoes, sugary drinks, and high-sugar junk foods.

The recommended carb intake per day generally depends on your goals and preferences.
