The low carb diet is a dietary concept in which the consumption of foods rich in carbohydrates is reduced, such as bread, pasta, cookies, tapioca and even some fruits and tubers.

Proportionally, the consumption of good quality proteins and fats such as olive oil, oilseeds and avocado, for example, increases.

This type of diet is adopted as a healthy option for weight loss, as the inclusion of more vegetables with low carbohydrates and high in fiber, such as chayote, spinach or zucchini, and the increase in the amount of foods rich in good fats and protein such as eggs, fish or lean meats, contribute to increased satiety and reduced appetite.
