Low-carb foods are those that contain a reduced amount of carbohydrates compared to traditional foods. These foods often include proteins like meat, fish, and eggs, as well as non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, broccoli, and peppers. Many people choose low-carb diets to help manage weight or improve health markers like blood sugar levels. Common low-carb alternatives include cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, and almond flour, which can replace higher-carb ingredients in recipes. Low-carb diets may also include healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil, providing energy while limiting carbohydrate intake.
