A low-carb diet is usually recommended for people with diabetes, those who are overweight, those who are trying to lose weight, those who are at risk for heart disease, and those with metabolic syndrome. Some low-carb diets greatly limit carbs during the early phase of the diet. Then those diets allow more carbs over time.
A low-carb diet generally limits grains, legumes, fruits, breads, sweets, pastas and starchy vegetables, and sometimes nuts and seeds. But some low-carb diet plans allow small amounts of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
