- Starchy vegetables (potatoes, squash, etc)
- Starchy fruits (bananas, plantains, etc)
- Grains (rice, oats, pasta)
- Legumes (beans, peas, lentils)
There are also added sources such as sugar, flour, etc. that are found in processed items like cakes, cookies, cereals, bread, etc.
Most people use a low carb diet with the intent for weight loss or to change eating habits, but it can also be helpful with certain medical conditions such as diabetes or heart disease.
