Low-carb is short for Low carbohydrate diet. Low-carbohydrate diets reduce the amount of carbohydrates(bread, rice, spaghett, etc.) that you eat. Foods high in carbohydrates are reduced, and replaced with foods containing a higher percentage of fat and protein, as well as low carbohydrate foods.

energy drink, coffee sweetened with stevia or sorbitol, and more. It's also good to do excercise. Doing cardio, lifting weights, or both. Low carb is like a milder form of keto. Your body partially goes through ketosis but not fully.

A diet fad which some claim is safe and healthy, and others claim is a road to heart disease and kidney failure. It touts the removal of excess carbohydrates(carbs) from the diet, which are then replaced by protein, the idea being that the body's blood sugar goes down, insulin goes down, and the body goes into ketosis and begins to burn fat. Some say this is safe, others say it's highly dangerous, most people agree it is a diet best kept to the short term only, as it is not balanced, and it's also very expensive because of all the meat involved. Also known as the "Atkins diet." A less severe version of this model is the "South Beach" diet which allows carbs, but strives to eliminate "simple" carbs like white sugar and flour, in favor of "complex carbs" like whole grains which have high nutritional value and do not create the spikes in blood sugar that provoke insulin overproduction(something Dr. Atkins claimed to be the cause of weight gain.)
Also a big money fad as companies scramble to create "low carb" versions of popular products such as bread and pasta.

A gay doesn't have to measure or count anything on this low-carb diet. He can eat as many twelve inch tube steaks a day as he can handle without tiring. Some swallow only the gravy, pure protein. Weight stays constant.

The moral of the story is never be different or question the existence of animals, or you will be lynched, my little low-carb diet burrito.

How you feel when you finally hit that point in your weekend where you stop caring and decide to get high. "Low" would be sarcastic for high and "Carb" being the sarcastic way of saying you do not care. You feel low carb when you figure you are done with caring about your responsibilities and have an urge to get high.
Bob: Hey do you still have to work today?
John: No man, it's Saturday. I'm feeling low carb.
Bob: Wanna Smoke?
