Moderate carb reduction for steady, sustainable results
The low-carb diet reduces carbohydrate intake without the strict restrictions of keto. It's more flexible, easier to maintain long-term, and still delivers significant benefits for weight management and metabolic health.
Is Low-Carb Right For Me?A low-carb diet typically limits carbohydrates to 50-150 grams per day — significantly less than the average Western diet (250-300g) but more flexible than ketogenic levels (<50g).
This moderate approach allows for more food variety while still reducing insulin spikes, promoting fat burning, and stabilizing energy levels.
