Low-carb diets

Low-carb diets focus on reducing carbohydrate intake, primarily found in foods like bread, pasta, sugary snacks, and some grains. Instead, they emphasize consuming proteins (like meat, fish, eggs) and healthy fats (such as nuts, seeds, olive oil). By lowering carbs, the body shifts from using glucose for energy to burning stored fat, which can aid in weight loss and improve blood sugar levels. These diets can vary in strictness but generally promote choosing whole, unprocessed foods and minimizing sugary or starchy foods for better health management.
