"NO CARBOHYDRATE DIET" is a misnomer that drives me ABSOLUTELY nuts!
Anyone who has even a basic understanding of nutrition knows that ALL
fruits and vegetables are, essentially, carbohydrates. Some have more
simple carbohydrates (sugars, starches), and others are predominantly made
up of complex carbohydrates, which require more digestion to break them
down into simple carbohydrates. But NONE of these diets is truly NO
carbohydrate. If you eat lettuce or spinach or green beans, you're eating
carbohydrates.
If you want to eat a truly NO carbohydrate diet, you will need to
eliminate not just grains, legumes, fruits, and starchy vegetables from
your diet - you will have to eliminate ALL vegetables and dairy products
(the latter are full of milk sugar) except those from which lactose and
other sugars have been entirely removed. The resulting diet: 100% meat
and fish, plus all the pure fats and oils you can eat. Yum!
