  6. Here's a guideline for you.

    Foods You Can Eat on a Low Carb Diet

    Some carbohydrates offer more nutrients than others. Unrefined foods such as fruits and grains contain vitamins, nutrients and fiber that get stripped away in refined foods.

    Recommended foods are:

    Raw fruits

    Vegetables rich in phytonutrients

    Dry Beans

    Whole grain breads and pastas

    Nuts

    Berries

    Moderation is still key, however, since some whole foods contain more sugar than others.

    Elimination or restriction of the simple refined sugars in candy and other processed desserts and pastas will lead to weight loss and better health. Experts say you should be mindful of calories because consuming more calories leads to weight gain.

    One very important element is missing from many low carb diets, and that is exercise. Exercise is all-important in maintaining health and fitness, whether you’re overweight or not. If you incorporate this element into your diet plan, your overall health will show improvement. If you have a pre-existing condition, please consult with your doctor for the best diet plan that meets your medical treatment goal.

    Good luck to you.  All foods have some carbs in them.
