If you're on a diet or just trying to eat healthier, low-carb eating may just be what you're looking for. If you haven't already noticed, low-carb recipes have been seeing a surge in popularity over the past few years.
It seems as if food science is starting to see some of the downfalls of eating too many carbs. High-carb diets often lead to spikes in blood sugar and eventually leading fat to be stored in cells instead of being used as energy. Low-carb diets however, help to keep your blood sugar and energy stable, thus there is no need for excess fat to be stored in your cells.
We've scoured Pinterest and have compiled a list of 20 of the most popular low-carb recipes with over 100,000 repins to get you started on your low-carb diet.
