What is the low carb diet?
Low Carb is a weight loss strategy that consists of reducing the amount of carbohydrates ingested from food. Reducing carbohydrates contributes to weight loss because carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy, since glucose is obtained from them. When this is done, the body needs to obtain energy from other sources.
Normally, people who are not on a diet eat around 60% of calories in carbohydrates, which can be 300g, 400g or much more than that of carbohydrates, which is a very high amount. In a low carb diet we reduce the carbs to less than approximately 30% of calories.
Low-carb does not eliminate carbohydrates, it just reduces their consumption.
