Low-carbohydrate diet
From W8MD weight loss and sleep centers
Low-carbohydrate diet - a low-carbohydrate diet is a diet that restricts carbohydrate intake and emphasizes the consumption of protein and fat. The goal of low-carbohydrate diets is to promote weight loss by inducing a state of ketosis, in which the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. Low-carbohydrate diets can take many forms, including the atkins diet, the ketogenic diet, and the paleo diet.
