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.
In general, non starchy veggies are great vehicles for fat if you want to keep protein lower. Bone marrow, butter, ghee, coconut oil and coconut butter are some of my favorite high fat, low carb/low protein staples. Oh and avocado, which is a bit higher in carbs than the above items, and bacon and bacon fat. Cream cheese if you do dairy.
