Hi Nadia,
In a nutshell, low-carb diets (there a few varieties of them) consist of high protein foods (fish, meat, poultry, cheese), and low-carbohydrates, low-glycemic foods such as green vegetables. Most low-carb diets let you select whatever variety of those items suits your taste as long as the total carbs (in grams) of your daily intake does not excede a certain limit. What are the limits? It depends on the diet, some state a certain limit for the beginning week or two (some call it induction, some call it phase one), and a continuing phase.
Click on the "Books" link on top of this page to see a variety of references to low-carb diets such as "Atkins", "Protein Power" and others.
