low-carbohydrate diet
Bread-avoiding meal plan
A low-carbohydrate diet restricts intake of carbohydrates—sugars, starches, and fiber found in grains, fruits, and starchy vegetables—in favor of proteins and fats.
Such diets aim to shift the body's metabolism toward burning fat for energy rather than glucose.
Popular versions include Atkins, keto, and paleo diets, each with different rules about which foods are permitted.
