Here is a list of the most common foods sorted for their usefulness on a low carb or ketogenic diet.

What are low-carb foods?

Low-carb foods are foods that are lower in carbohydrates than traditional foods. Carbohydrates, that are found in grains, fruits, vegetables, and sugar, are the body's primary source of energy. However, when consumed in excess, carbohydrates can lead to weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, and other health issues. For this reason, [[many people choose to reduce their carbohydrate intake by choosing low-carb foods.

Ketogenic diet

The most popular low-carb diet is the ketogenic diet, which is a high-fat, moderate-protein, and very low-carb diet. On this diet, people typically aim to consume less than 50 grams of carbohydrates per day, and instead focus on eating healthy fats and proteins. Some of the most common low-carb foods include meats]], fish, eggs, vegetables, and healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, and coconut oil.

Sources of protein

Meats and fish are excellent sources of protein, which is an essential nutrient that is important for building and repairing muscle tissue. Additionally, they are typically low in carbohydrates, making them a great option for low-carb diets. Eggs are also a great source of protein and healthy fats, and they can be prepared in a variety of ways, making them a versatile addition to a low-carb diet.

Vegetables

Vegetables are also an important part of a low-carb diet, as they are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber and other essential nutrients. Leafy green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and kale are particularly good options, [[as they are low in carbohydrates and high in nutrients. Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage are also great low-carb options, as they can be used as substitutes for higher-carb foods like potatoes and rice.

Healthy fats

In addition to meats, fish, eggs, and vegetables, healthy fats are also an important part of a low-carb diet. Healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, and coconut oil are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can help to reduce inflammation and improve heart health.

Alternative foods

Low-carb foods can also include alternative foods that are specifically designed to be low in carbohydrates. These include low-carb bread, low-carb pasta, and low-carb snacks, which are made with alternative flours and ingredients that are lower in carbohydrates than traditional wheat flour. These alternative foods can be a great option for individuals looking to limit their carbohydrate intake, however, it's important to note that these foods are often lower in fiber and other nutrients compared to traditional wheat-based products.
