A reduction in carbohydrate intake can have various reasons. In addition to numerous diets for weight loss, therapies for metabolic diseases can also make a low-carbohydrate diet necessary. Low-carb fruit helps to make the menu as varied as possible despite the restrictions. In general, fruit is a lighter and more filling alternative to sweets.
