Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered low-carb?
There isn’t one fixed definition. Many people consider ~20–130g carbs/day “low-carb” depending on goals. The community will share approaches and what works for them.
Is a low-carb diet the same as keto?
Not always. Keto is typically very low carb and higher fat to encourage ketosis. Low-carb can be a broader approach and doesn’t necessarily aim for ketosis.
Who should consult their doctor before starting?
Anyone on diabetes medication (especially insulin), with kidney disease, pregnancy/breastfeeding, a history of eating disorders, or complex medical conditions should seek clinical advice first.
