Low Carbohydrate Intake: The diet typically limits daily carbohydrate intake to around 20-50 grams of net carbs (total carbs minus fiber). This forces the body to use fat for fuel instead of glucose, as the body's preferred energy source. High Fat Consumption: The majority of daily calorie intake comes from fats, often around 70-75% of total calories. These fats can come from sources like avocados, nuts, seeds, oils, and fatty cuts of meat.
