What's a low-carb diet?
When someone follows a low-carb diet, they cut out carbohydrates and replace them with veggies, protein, and fat. Here are 8 foods that come under the 'no-carb' category.
1.Meat
This group includes chicken, lamb, hog, and beef. These foods are high in protein and will help you feel full and sate your hunger.
2. Vegetables
Leafy green vegetables are low in carbohydrates, as are brinjals, cucumbers, carrots, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes. The best vegetables to eat are those that grow above ground.
3.Fish and seafood
Because they are high in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon, mackerel, trout, haddock, and sardines are all excellent sources of healthful fats.
4. Nuts and seeds
Nuts heavy in fat, such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews, as well as seeds, such as sunflower seeds, can be included in your diet. You can also eat nut butters like peanut butter.
5. Eggs
Eggs are a great source of protein and fat in any form, including omelette, boiled, scrambled, and fried. Eggs that are pastured or high in omega-3s are also excellent options.
6.Dairy products
You can eat milk, yoghurt, butter, cheese, and cream without any reluctance. Avoid flavour- and low-fat items, and pay attention to "added sugar."
7. Fruits
Low-carb fruits, such as apples, oranges, and strawberries, can be eaten but only in moderation. You should stay away from fruits like bananas.
8.Oils
If you're on a low-carb diet, you can cook using coconut oil and olive oil.
