What is a ‘slow carb’ diet?

The slow carb diet focuses on consuming carbohydrates that are digested slowly, aiming to stabilize blood sugar levels and promote weight loss:

• Carbohydrate selection: Emphasizes low-glycemic index foods like legumes, lentils, and non-starchy vegetables.
• Protein-rich: Includes lean proteins such as chicken, fish, and eggs to promote satiety and muscle maintenance.
• Healthy fats: Incorporates sources like nuts, seeds, and olive oil for energy and overall health.
• Avoids: Limits high-glycemic index foods, refined sugars and processed carbohydrates.

The diet is designed to provide sustained energy levels and support fat loss while maintaining muscle mass. Consulting a healthcare professional is recommended before starting any new diet plan.
