Collection: Low-Carb

A low-carb diet restricts carbohydrates, typically to 50-150g per day (compared to 200-300g on a standard diet). It emphasizes protein, healthy fats, and non-starchy vegetables while limiting grains, sugars, and starchy foods. It's less restrictive than keto but offers similar benefits.

Low-carb allows 50-150g of carbs daily and doesn't necessarily aim for ketosis, while keto restricts carbs to under 20-50g to achieve ketosis. Low-carb is more flexible and easier to maintain long-term, while keto offers faster initial results and metabolic benefits.

Most people experience weight loss on low-carb diets due to reduced insulin levels, decreased appetite, and automatic calorie reduction. Initial weight loss includes water weight, followed by steady fat loss. Results vary based on individual metabolism and adherence.

Focus on meat, fish, eggs, non-starchy vegetables, nuts, seeds, healthy fats (olive oil, avocado), and moderate amounts of berries and dairy. Limit or avoid bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, sugary foods, and most processed foods. Quality matters more than quantity.

Helpful supplements include electrolytes (especially during adaptation), fiber to support digestion, omega-3s for inflammation, and blood sugar support supplements like chromium and berberine. Protein powders and meal replacements make meeting macros easier.
