Category: Low Carb

Low carb doesn’t have to mean strict keto. This section covers moderate low-carb meal plans (typically 50-130g carbs per day) built for people who want to lose weight, stabilize blood sugar, or reduce processed carbs without going all the way into ketosis. We publish full calorie-targeted plans (1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000 kcal) and diet-specific plans (low-carb high-protein, low-carb high-fiber, low-carb Mediterranean, low-carb for diabetes, low-carb for PCOS).

Every plan is calorie- and macro-calculated per meal using the Nutritionix database, and recipes are tested in our kitchen before they’re included. Plans that touch medical conditions – diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, high cholesterol, cardiovascular risk – are written or reviewed by a Registered Dietitian on our team (Brenda Peralta, Kerly Cordova, or Marita Radloff) and medically reviewed by Franco Cuevas, MD. General weight-loss and lifestyle plans are developed by our Food Editor Damla Sengul with nutrition team review.

We don’t promise fast fixes or specific pound counts. We do explain, in plain language, what moderate low-carb eating looks like day to day, how it differs from keto, what the evidence supports (short-term weight loss, glycemic control, satiety), and where readers should work with their own clinician – especially if they take medications for blood sugar, blood pressure, or heart conditions. Every plan is printable and every recipe carries its own carb count so you know what you’re eating.
