low-carbohydrate
Bread-avoiding eating plan
Low-carbohydrate describes foods or diets that restrict starches and sugars.
A low-carbohydrate diet limits bread, pasta, rice, and sweets in favor of proteins and fats.
Often shortened to low-carb: I'm doing low-carb this month.
The approach has cycled through various popular diets, from Atkins to keto.
