The idea behind the low-carb diet is that decreasing carbs lower insulin levels, which causes the body to burn stored fat for energy and ultimately leads to weight loss. In general, a low-carb diet focuses on proteins, including meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and some nonstarchy vegetables.
In 2007, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggested that a low-carb diet consists of 50 to 150 grams daily. However, many research studies use diets with less than 100 grams of carbs daily to determine the benefits of low-carb diets, and some very-low-carb diets contain as little as 20 grams of carbs daily.
