There are certain foods to have on hand for low carb baking,
cooking, and eating. Generally, these include dairy products,
vegetables, fruits, foods containing protein and fats, and nuts and
grains. People on a low carb diet can choose from a wide selection of
dairy products, including cottage cheese, hard cheeses, and soft
cheeses. Other dairy products such as full-fat cheeses, cream cheese,
and butter are allowed, but consumption should be more limited.
