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.
