No carbs

yeah, you can google that - but it's either fat, protein or carbs. Those are your macros.

So, fats and protein. That's it. Animal and animal products, eggs (but not dairy/milk/yogurts.) Oils and butter. No fruit or vegetables. No grains. Even nuts have some carbs.

Actually, eggs and all dairy products (cheese, cream, etc.) have at least trace amounts of carbs.

To truly go no carb, you have to eat fats or meat - chicken, pork, beef, venison, buffalo, etc. No crab or lobster, oysters, etc. You also need to skip the offal because most organ meats contains at least trace carbs.

No carb at all? Pretty much you're down to oil and meat. Even eggs and cheese have some carbs. Have you hit your carb limit for the day and trying to find something for your remaining calories? It's okay to go over or under macros sometimes, just plan better next time.

If something g is high fiber say, chia seeds.. the carbs process at a slower rate and are better to eat on a low carb diet. You can subtract the fiber from the carbs and get a (net carb) count. That’s what we do on Keto.

It's a community of people who consume zero (or close to zero) carbs. It's pretty fascinating, though I'd never do it myself.

They basically only eat meat (including organ meats for the vitamins) and butters and oils. And drink water.

Sounds like a fun way to eat, huh?

I don't know how long it would take me to get tired of eating steaks - I think the budget would crater before that occurred.

Lots of meats, lots of fish, eggs, vegetables (except starchy ones like potatoes) some cheese, some nuts (basically avoid peanuts and cashews), coconuts (every which way). If you go low on carbs you should eat fatty cuts of fish (mackeral and salmon) and meat (ribeye steak, sirloin steak, chicken with skin, untrimmed bacon) to stave off hunger. Some carbs are ok in small amounts, i have milk in my tea/coffee, some blackberries and nuts and cheese aren't zero carbs. Oil is also a good source of fat, so when you have a salad don't be shy on the fatty dressings like Cesar dressing, but look out for hidden carbs in dressings as a lot have sugar in them.

You're describing a low-carb style of eating, not a zero-carb style of eating. Zero carb is meat and fats only.

Sorry, but vegetables are all full of carbs. And fiber, vitamins and anti-oxidants.

Fish.
