What Makes it Low-Carb?

Dietary restrictions for a low-carb diet can vary. Please consult your physician if following one for best health and a diagnosis, such as diabetes. Most are also high-protein, low-sugar, and keto-approved.

In general, low-carb can be defined as anything below 100 grams total carbs daily. This is what most low-carb scientific studies tend to follow. Lower numbers may include 40-60 or for keto, even less at 20 net carbs.
