low-carbohydrate diets

Low-carbohydrate diets focus on reducing the intake of foods high in carbs, such as bread, pasta, sugary snacks, and beverages. Instead, they emphasize consuming more proteins (like meat, fish, eggs) and healthy fats (such as nuts, seeds, avocados). By limiting carbs, the body shifts from using sugar for energy to burning stored fat, which can help with weight loss and improve certain health markers like blood sugar levels. These diets can be structured differently, but their core principle is reducing carbohydrate intake to promote metabolic benefits and better energy management.
