healthline | A no-carb diet is a way of eating that eliminates digestible carbs as much as possible.
Carbs
are your body’s primary source of energy. They’re found in grains,
beans, legumes, fruits, vegetables, milk, yogurt, pasta, bread, and
baked goods.
Therefore, someone on a no-carb diet must avoid most
of these foods and instead eat foods that contain primarily protein or
fat, such as meats, fish, eggs, cheese, oils, and butter.
There is no strict rubric for a no-carb diet. Some people who follow it eat nuts and seeds, non-starchy vegetables, and high-fat fruits like avocado and coconut.
Even
though these foods have some carbs, they’re high in fiber. Therefore,
they have only a minuscule number of digestible or net carbs, which is
calculated by subtracting the amount of fiber from the total number of
carbs (1).
A no-carb diet resembles a ketogenic diet,
which limits your carb intake to fewer than 30 grams per day and
encourages you to get 70% or more of your daily calories from fat (2Trusted Source).
Depending on what you choose to eat, a no-carb diet can be more restrictive than keto.
