Terri Schiavo is seen here in a family photo taken shortly after she collapsed in 1990 and was left brain-damaged. In 1985, they moved to Florida, following Terri's parents, who retired there. Five years later, Michael found his wife unconscious on the floor, her head in the hallway, her feet in the bathroom.
Definition. A low-carb diet limits carbohydrates â such as those found in grains, starchy vegetables and fruit â and emphasizes foods high in protein and fat. Many types of low-carb diets exist. Each diet has varying restrictions on the types and amounts of carbohydrates you can eat.
The term low-carbohydrate diet is generally applied to diets that restrict carbohydrates to less than 20% of caloric intake, but can also refer to diets that simply restrict or limit carbohydrates to less than recommended proportions (generally less than 45% of total energy coming from carbohydrates).ost vegetables are low-or moderate-carbohydrate foods (in the context of these diets, fiber is excluded because it is not a nutritive carbohydrate). Some vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, have high concentrations of starch, as do corn and rice.
