Low Carbohydrate Diet Food Manual


What is the Food Manual for Low Carbohydrate Diet?

A low carbohydrate diet restricts the carbohydrate intake and emphasizes on consuming high amounts of protein and fat foods.

A low carbohydrate diet generally excludes or limits most grains, breads, sweets, pastas, rice, fruits, alcohol and starchy vegetables, and sometimes nuts and seeds. However, some low carb diet plans allow certain fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

In general, a low carbohydrate diet focuses on proteins, including meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and some non-starchy vegetables.

Most low carb diets limit the daily carbohydrate intake to 50-150 grams.
