What does low-carbon diet mean?

Low-carbon diet originally refers to a low-carbohydrate diet.

Mainly focus on strictly limiting the intake of carbohydrates and increasing the intake of protein and fat. The concept of low-carbon diet was first put forward by Dr. Atkins in 1972, The New Diet Revolution.

"Low-carbon diet" was originally considered as a way to lose weight, emphasizing not eating staple food, mainly fruits and vegetables. Today, however, the "low-carbon diet" has changed from a simple way of losing weight to a healthy and environmentally friendly diet.
