Low Carb Diets: History & Background

The Atkins diet is the best-known low-carb eating plan. It involves reducing all high-carb foods while eating as much protein and fat as desired.
Low-carb foods include:
lean meats, such as sirloin, chicken breast, or pork.
fish.
eggs.
leafy green vegetables.
cauliflower and broccoli.
nuts and seeds, including nut butter.
oils, such as coconut oil, olive oil, and rapeseed oil.
some fruit, such as apples, blueberries, and strawberries.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Daily Value (DV) for carbs is 300 grams per day when eating a 2,000-calorie diet (2). Some people reduce their daily carb intake with the aim of losing weight, cutting down to around 50–150 grams per day.
Some nutritionists recommend a ratio of 40 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein, and 30 percent fat as a good target for healthy weight loss. A 1,500 calorie diet with 40 percent carbohydrates translates to 600 calories per day from carbs.
