Cutting down on carbohydrates in your diet and increasing fat and protein intake is what defines a low carb diet. Foods like white breads, white pasta, white rice as well as alcoholic beverages should be cut down if not eliminated. You should be consuming twenty grams or fewer each day of carbs.  Low carb diets are anchored in the theory that a diet low in carbohydrates may result in lowering the body’s production of insulin, which leads to the consumption of fat stores as an energy source. This in turn will lead to weight loss and improved energy levels.
