The ‘no carb, no sugar’ diet
By now, you must be wondering what exactly this ‘no sugar, no carb’ diet is. It is a diet regime in which we basically need to avoid foods that contain carbohydrates and sugar. For example, drinks are quite rich in carbohydrates. So, you must switch to plain water, herbal tea and black coffee.
By ‘no sugar’, we mean foods that contain no added sugar. Eating foods that contain natural sugar is totally fine. You just need to keep an eye on your calorie count.

But you can find snacks with very low carbs. Some of them include plain tuna, boiled eggs, olives, etc.
Some people totally restrict sugar and carb when following this regime. However, doing that for long may not be safe for you. It is essential to have some carbohydrates in your diet. Not doing so will make you deficient in some of the important nutrients like fibre, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. It can also put your kidney health at stake.
