Low carb
Low-carbohydrate diets or low-carb diets are dietary programs that restrict carbohydrate consumption usually for weight control or for the treatment of obesity. Foods high in digestible carbohydrates (e.g. breads, pasta) are limited or replaced with foods containing a higher percentage of proteins and fats (e.g. meats, soy products) and often other foods low in carbohydrates (e.g. green leafy vegetables).
The American Academy of Family Physicians provides the following definition of low-carbohydrate diets.
This definition is typical of most sources although no universally recognized definition has been established. Such diets are generally ketogenic (i.e. they restrict carbohydrate intake sufficiently to cause ketosis) for example, the induction phase of the Atkins diet. Some sources, though, consider less restrictive variants to be low-carbohydrate as well.
The ketogenic diet is a high fat, adequate protein, low-carbohydrate diet, primarily used to treat difficult-to-control epilepsy in children. It is stricter than most low-carbohydrate diets, and must be followed under close medical supervision. The use of a ketogenic diet to treat other medical conditions remains at early research stages.
