Low-carb diets substitute carbohydrates with fats and proteins. Many low-carb diet plans vary depending on recommendation, but it generally consists of a high-fat and moderate-protein diet plan. Going on a low-carb diet would mean getting around 70% of calorie intake from fat, not carbs. Daily carbohydrate intake must only be 10% or less of the total diet.
The Low Carb Diet is a ketogenic diet whose best known proponent is Dr. Robert C. Atkins.
