What is
a low carb diet?
Eating low carb means eating a diet low in carbohydrates. Depending on the person and the diet, low carb can mean eating less than 100 grams of carbs per day or eating less than 50 grams of carbs per day. Many advocates of low carb eating also recommend avoiding processed foods and eating more real foods.
What are the
Paleo and Atkins diets?
The Paleo and Atkins diets are both types of low carb diets. Each diet has a different focus.
With the Paleo diet, you eat less carbs by following a diet similar to what people think our ancestors ate. This includes foods found by hunting and gathering — meats, seeds, vegetables, and fruits. The Paleo diet doesn’t include grains, limits or restricts nuts, and often cuts out dairy.
With the Atkins diet, you eat less carbs by following a diet made of foods on the low end of the Glycemic Index (GI). The number of carbs consumed on an Atkins diet is sometimes higher than with low carb high fat diets, however, this depends on the person.
