Target carbohydrate intake: 20-100g per day (typically 10-20% of total calories). Focus on high-quality proteins (lean meats, fish, eggs, poultry), healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil, fatty fish), and non-starchy vegetables (leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers). Read nutrition labels carefully to track carb content. Include adequate fiber from low-carb vegetables. Stay hydrated and consider electrolyte balance, especially during the initial adaptation phase. Distribute protein intake throughout the day. Choose whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible. Monitor portion sizes of nuts and dairy as they contain carbs. Plan meals in advance to ensure nutritional adequacy. May improve blood sugar levels, support weight loss, and reduce triglycerides. Consult healthcare provider before starting, especially if diabetic or on medications.
