low carb

Bread-free eating style

Low carb describes foods or diets that minimize carbohydrates—sugars, starches, and grains—in favor of proteins and fats.

The approach treats carbs as the main driver of weight gain and blood sugar spikes: I've been eating low carb for six months.

A low-carb diet typically restricts bread, pasta, rice, and sugary foods.
