Low-carbohydrate diets or low-carb diets are dietary programs that restrict carbohydrate consumption usually for weight control or for the treatment of obesity. Foods high in digestible carbohydrates (e.g. bread, pasta) are limited or replaced with foods containing a higher percentage of proteins and fats (e.g., meat, soy products) and often other foods low in carbohydrates (e.g., green leafy vegetables). The American Academy of Family Physicians defines low-carbohydrate diets as:
This definition is typical of most sources although no universally recognized definition has been established. Such diets are generally ketogenic (i.e. they restrict carbohydrate intake sufficiently to cause ketosis) for example, the induction phase of the Atkins diet. Some sources, though, consider less restrictive variants to be low-carbohydrate as well. No-carbohydrate diets are an extreme form of low-carbohydrate diets. Apart from obesity, low-carbohydrate diets are often discussed as treatments for some other conditions, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (see ketosis) and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, but most notably diabetes and epilepsy, although, other than for intractable epilepsy in children, these treatments still remain controversial and lack widespread support.
